Ad Quinn recount of "Premiere night"

"Over-rated" is a word that springs to mind when i think about the amount of publicity thrust upon our premiere and the actual movie we were screening. In terms of amount of humans in attendance and the promotion we recieved i can only put it down to us being completely humble and refusing to take a big screen debut seriously. The film was never meant to be some "sero ball art fag bodyboarding documentary" it was something for fun, cheap, for the groms and most of all an excuse for a massive party. Obviously in the last week we finally realised the hype from WIN news stories to several newspaper publications (Nowra News, South Coast Register and Illwara Mercury all running stories) and jumped at the chance to make a quick buck or two. Anyway i seem to be rambling and "like fully" saying the same thing as russ so ill move onto a description of the aftermath - post premiere celebrations.

Inbox message 1:33am (following morning) from Morgan Hives - "Morgan is going to marry Josie".

This message to me summs up the beginning of the post premiere celebrations.. just all the fellas having a great time going wild on chicks regardless of relationship status, looks, relatives, personality and ofcourse AGE. Straight out of the film and Damo Miller secured one particular youthfull looking groupie around his 25 year old shoulders, everyone else proceeded walking down the middle of husky main street to asscend upon the pub. The screaming of several profanities followed, plenty of write offs and razz ups as Ivan Pulic and Jack Mac set off to find young females after there big screen debut's. Ivan managed to swoop one off to the infamouse make out destination "Shark net". "Shark net" thought to be myth after many stories by the older generation is the ultimate in isolated hookup destinations for the husky/vincentia based bodyboarding crew.. ahh the memories.

So Ivan was MIA for a good portion of the night as the rest took over Husky pub and danced and drank the night away. Notable mentions must go out to James Dixon for completely dominating husky pub dance floor and proceeding to mimic the lead guitarist of the band on stage, Matt Young for stealing the mic at the pub and yelling "We came here to party", and Jackson Brown and Kim Zammit for there 100% husky pub "pick up" statistics.

Russ Quinn wasn't able to give an accurate recount of any of these events after bailing the pub at a ludicrous 11pm with his beloved Nestle. Plenty more action went down and everyone thorougly enjoyed themselves, definitly the best night ive had in husky since the fridge 2 fridge nights or that night i picked up a dream babe from England but yer again thanks to all the fellas who showed up and i believe there is after party footage to be shown at Jack Dobo and James Dixon's new movie Prem "Crazy". The pic above is amazing it epitomises the premiere night - unknown female dream babe at our prem with what looks like some sort of alcoholic beverage in a mineral water bottle.. amazing.. like i promised "plenty of myspace chicks will be there". What can i say.. this is proof i delivered too all those critics!

WORLD PREMIERE

Chaos surrounding. High expectations. Troy Kneeves sightings. Nerves. Elation. Tidal wave of euphoria. Boothy? BOOM. Premiere night…

What the hell happened? An unjust amount of publicity and media hype is the only reasoning I can come up with. 180 sweaty bodies squeezed into Huskisson Cinema last weekend for the world premiere of I Wouldn’t Normally Produce A Film. A flick we had no confidence in, but exceeded all our expectations.

Tumbleweeds aside, the sleepy town of Huskisson came to life for the first time since Fridge to Fridge 06. Girls were screaming. Corks flying. Grandmothers in attendance. Anthony Yeoman… enough said.

Team Wollongong served up their usual plate of relentless diatribes. “Oh what are you doing?” “SHARK NET”. “I’m going to Parklife to sell pingas”. “Vino on TAP!”

So pure.

We couldn’t ask for much more. Sickest night. Alcohol flowing. Positive vibe. DUFF shoes?? Husky Pub finale.

BIG thanks to ACS. Sean Greenhalgh. All the dudes who helped with promo. Jeff at Husky cinema.

Stay tuned for pics of the night.

Russ.

Roid Boys..

Roid boys.. nothing worse. Family Guy is the ultimate parody of every type of character you can imagine. I was watching this episode the other night and it features Stewie as a so called "roid boy", possibly the most accurate send up of one ever. Wait for the part where he bullies Brian on the stairs.. so true. its the best.

Craziest Dance off ever at our Prem this Friday

Two icons of dance.. James Dixon representing Glasshouse tavern and Damian Miller representing Sussex Tavern will go head to head in a good old fashion dance off this friday night at our movie premiere. With the grace of Fred Astair and style of the late MJ these two have been blowing minds for years. Both have agreed to terms and conditions.. one song..one dances then the other emulates or out performs..crowd will decide winner.. typical "You got served" rules apply.

Troy Kneeves in Husky

Yesterday afternoon while sipping latte's at the usual Husky Indy rock scene aka Main deck aka my local coffee shop.. Australia's most infamous bodyboarder Troy Kneeves walks past. We were all gobsmacked to say the least. This dude has to be the most craziest guy ive ever met. He is literally Psychotic.. No idea what he was doing at husky. Jack Mac the trickster managed to get a photo on his iphone as he death stared us and walked on. We were all shitting ourselves.. he was walking into every shop then walking out and had one of his slippers only half on. so crazy. Check out the photo he is just looking straight at us.. haha such a wild man.. swear he was ready to pull out his pocket knife

Half Blood Prince Fashion

Last night i managed to put together the $7.70 for "Mad Monday" (tight ass night) at the movies to see the new Harry Potter flick. Shawn, Ian, Shelley and Jana also came in quicker than you can say "Tokyo Drift" in Jana's Skyline. She did however make one pitstop to collect another drivers pink slip for a previous street race the night before. Regardless.. i love Harry Potter especially the characters Drako Malfoy and Snape (pretty sure i got that right, ssorry potter fans). There characters were in the tooooooooooightest of clothes so sik, so dark.

Just remembered this is a bodyboarding blog...

I just realised the other day its been a few weeks since ive posted anything about waves at all. Possibly way too many other things on my mind right now i guess, the movie, uni, babes.. But yes i received an email last night from Tassie photo Matt Tidelsy who was staying in our neck of the woods with Charels Ward recently. Two pretty cool blokes who made a mess of our local coffee shop, typical Tazzie boys. Anyway heres a shot from a recent session down south, one of my favourite places and definitly one of the better rollers that came through this day. Matty Macarthur snatched bomb of the day but alas i cannot show, could be BANG covers!!! woah

Crazy cuts

Mumma ash loves a good old cleopatra fringe.. shes been rocking it for 4 and half years now. Swear they keep getting crazier. Reminds me of old time coonies days and why Anthony Showman will now nolonger drink out in town.. only known as "Mumma Ash Night" showman went wild groping chicks.. hectic stuff.

High Heel Disasters

Wait for the slow motion part.. soo good.

Glee

Frikin loved that sneak peak episode of new show "Glee" on last nyt. You can just tell soo many babes are going to be on it.

Wollongong Night life returns.

After way too many cold winter nights at Husky pub we decided a wollongong night life mission was on the cards. I packed the wagon full of a few innocent wollongong virgins (Bernie, Jono and Jack Mac) and fellow veteran Russ Quinn as we ventured up for Kirrily's Birthday. The trip up was complete with rain, hail and slippery surfaces which got me flaring and negged me out hardcore.. not to mention the serious lack of Berry Passion pop.. alas i had to settle for Original. Reaching our final destination we kitted up and heading to Kiz's for an expected rowdy pre drinks. A mellow crew of adolescence greeted us as a wide variety of black leather ascended on the house party. Dicko and the wolf pack (Dobo, showman) and newly single Ivan Pulic eventually turned up for a wollo night life veteran reuninion and we kicked things off. "Oh chick in the leather hoodie.. oh what are you doing drinking water", "Im Ivan Pulic, i was on the movement board test and im newly single", "Ohh im Damo i wax cars at gassies". A few profanities and write offs of fellow guests ensured great times around the pool table as well as legendary Dancing Damo swallowing Kirrilys pet gold fish. Finally we razzed up some babes to take us to town for the "illa" and got things rolling. Definitly had perfect "buzz on" by this time and proceeded to go wild on most chicks that were within a one metre radius. The "illa" is a cool place with lounges and Ivan and i used this to our advantage - creeping out and starring at chicks in hopes of picking them up.. seemed to work too no idea how. Everyone then began to regualate the dance floor dancing with total babes and mucking around. Some crazy times in wollongong on an unexpected thursday night. Russ "wollo veteran" Quinn continued his night rolling with Nikki McGeach and her crew - one which resembled a poor mans Sonia Kruger off that show Dancing with the stars (See Photo). Fake Kruger as she became known later found out Russ was heavily involved with singer songwriter Nestle and decided to get out of there for young rookie Jack Mac. Fortunatly Jack Mac had been kicked out at 11:58pm for a satisfactory effort on the dance floor although proclaimed that "i was just about to hook up with that tall blonde chick too". Poor Fake Kruger had to settle for a cab ride home and 6 Mc Nuggets in drive through.

Movement Mag

Movement (Bodyboarding mag) 29 has hit stores.. i wouldnt normally promote such trivial things such as magazines but yer this is bodyboarding and plenty of my friends and south coast rippos grace its pages. Soo good to see Ivan Pulic get some shots and recognition for his riding on the Bali Board test. Also James Kates and Jase Finlay's Euro trip is in their too. Pic above is Ivan Pulic's sweet sweet rig..

The new movement site also looks pretty sweet. Russ Quinn with his well vamped video resume on vimeo raised some heads and he was also invited on the Bali board test. Having to decline because of work the Movement fellas felt sorry for him and threw up an interview on their website anyway so check it out http://www.movementmag.com/_webapp_261550/Russell_Quinn

pic above Russ "revs" Quinn throwing his signiture move on a Brock bowl from Bryce Gage.

South Coast Register.... BANG Covers

Just incase some of you forgot or arnt aware.. yes my bro does work at the south coast register newspaper and yes i did get front covers... Im sure all of you were wondering.. "did this get him chicks?" well no it didnt just a few myspace and facebook adds. But im sure if i promoted it more then maybe.. the possibilities are endless :) Always for the love of chicks.. always.

My holidays have finally started: two calls in two days

Walking through Vincentia Public for the last time i was wondering when the prospect of 3 weeks of holidays would finally sink in. The last few days have definitly greeted me with quality waves, just what you expect from south coast ledges.

Tuesday: Tuesday afternoon three of us were losing our minds as we usually do at our local coffee shop. I had a feeling that the swell was going to hit that arvo and despite pleas decided to punch a mission down to the heavily localised reefs of sussex inlet. That arvo provided us with a quickly increasing swell and some long peeling left handed tubes and ramps. The swell was on the increase all arvo with our last few waves a solid 4ft pushing 5ft. The call for the arvo was "mechanical" as we enjoyed the last few moments of light.

Wednesday: Woke up for the early, two car loads, full on convoy of "Vincentians".. "pretty gay thing to do but hey thats what you do when your young i guess"(Jono Bruce). Straight to nuggs which looked fun but full of wigs, lucky i had been given the hot tip by south coast hellman Riley Conlon the day before who said head to twos. With noone out twos the six of us threw our slender frames into some heaving caverns enjoying the solid 4ft conditions. Shout outs must go to Jono Safinski for throwing himself into many heaving pits without making one barrell and also 13yr old lewie who caught as many waves as humanly possible in a 2 hour session. Above is a photo from the session.. noone out.. twos slab..sik morning.

The Semiotics of Skinny jeans and leather jackets

The other morning i was sifting through the usual rubbish splashed out on the pages of The Sun Herald when i came across an article or "commentary" on skinny leg jeans. Obviously being one who wears these such threads i decided to read on and found myself totally enthrawled in the article. The lady who wrote the commentary seemed to be some sort of academic, however she did know what she was talking bout. She began by suggesting that because so many people wore jeans these days that you would think the semiotics (symbolism) of jeans would have lost all meaning by now. However this is not the case as their are numerous types of jeans still being produced with different styles (Skinny, straight, flares, apple bottom)and each style can testify to different groups. I found all this so fascinating and it made me wonder and think of the increasing fashion of leather jackets and will the same thing happen to them. Last week i was walking through Newtown in Sydney whereby 90% of the people i walked past were in leather jackets. Due to so many people wearing leather these days will they lose their semiotic meaning (cool, abstract, dark, ecclectic, indy, mod) also? Will they just become another lame accessory that you see on every Tom, Dick and Harry? Last winter only a small crew seemed to be rocking leather but this winter its the flavour of the month and yer i guess it kind of deters me from wearing leather out and around the town. I say dont be another sheep do your own thing - be abstract, go against the grain. Above is a pic of the mod cult hero/fashionista Bob Dylan, definatly love his style and definatly against the grain.

What ive missed.. Shawny Mac strikes some form

Currently and up until now its dawned on me that this winter so far has been pretty dam good. Now that im finally on holidays and can experince these powerful winter swells myself, start chasing it and enjoy the good times that come my way - both surfing and girl related.

The past week: - this past week saw a solid ne ground swell hammer the east coast of Australia which was unfortunately timed with my last week of practical experience at Vincentia Primary School. Above is one shot of Shawny Mac who is on a John Farnhem esque comeback in the ocean and a shot from a pumpmin eddies day of Damian king apparently russ claims he spun into this barrell "filth". It seems as though i did miss out on what looked like some amazing rollers with epic days claimed at: Supers, Nuggs, Trienos, Guilos, Eddies and Acids. Few massive quotes went down:

Matt Young: - "Best waves ive ever had in my life, the lip was like solid 6ft" (Matt Young slightly exagerating a session at his local on the wed mornign).

Mark Howlett: - "I could surf trienos everyday, ive been ulladulla everyday for that past two weeks" (Howie super keen for trienos..)

Jack Dobinson: - "Oh i swear this winter has been the best ever, ive surfed acids friday, saturday and today"

Shawn hits some form: - Good to see shawn mccauley has giving up regulating the chicks and the festivals for the ocean once more. Although as i type this he is coming home from a Canberra where he unfortunatly saw the electro garbage duo only known as the "bloody beetroots" truly sickening stuff. All that aside though hes been putting in some time in the liquid due to his lack of work commitments and turning over some cool shots.

Cold days and Holidays

Holidays: - yes it has finally come around to that time of year, were i and most other uni students have some precious time off to hunt lumps of ocean and throw ourselves into flaring caverns.. with a lovely looking east swell hitting wednesday my mouth is beginning to water already.

The Movie: - Shipped off - woo 50 dvd's have been lined up for us from some blokes in Sydney who make dvds and yer. So i guess we should hurry up and pay them. Being the tight arses we are im not sure when that day is going to come to frewition. Russ has finally only just finished paying off his new rig, Shawn has lost his liscence and me.. well lets just say i dont feel like throwing any cash around just yet.

Soup Natzi's: - Whilst doing my practical experience for uni at my old primary school somehow i managed to get infected with some sort of throat virus/flu like disease. Luckily it was during my last few days and could still manage an enthusiastic "Good Morning Year 3". The following day Shawn, russ and i were sipping cafene bliss at our local haunt and noticed the soup of the day special. Sounded "pure" and due to the cold windy conditions we thought it was ample if not a perfect piece of prime advertising. We endulged in some awesome chicken noodle soup with garlic toast, i definatly advise all those feeling the cold and the swine like symptoms to do the same.

The Movie Poster and Zammit's big w.e

Poster boys.... - yer check it, Here is the finalised copy of the movie poster/dvd cover which we finished up today. We feel this poster epitomises everything surrounding lives of bodyboarders - fashion, waves, and art. Any way write it off all you like this is the final copy. Probably not going to start sending it round anywhere just yet as it is still 6 weeks away but yer just thought i should show everyone.

Zammit: - Reknowned lady killer and good mate Kim Zammit, was in fine form all w.e. I was lucky enough to witness his womanising ways on both friday and saturday nights as we ventured to husky pub and posties. Cant say too much but kim definatly turned a few heads with his fresh new cut and single status.

Anberlin back to oz!!

Definitly one of the best gigs ive been to this year was Anberlin back in march. The fellas are back in oz yet again with another gig at the roundhouse. My theory is they have met some lovely chatswood babes on myspace last time they were here and decided to return. Who cares what the reason they are a sik band with some great neg tunes. Our crew last time was so fun too with reports of ad quinn crowd surfing his way up to the mic and singing the final few words of "Day late friend". Amazing night. Above are a few photos: - ad and shawn way up in the car, Dicko and the crew and Anberlin on stage.

GIGS, GIGS GIGS: - Totally love a good live band.. since last putting print to blog the fellas have seen a few bands and here are some great memories:

Presets - win entertainment full of 17year old babes.

Ratatat - Ivan Pulic sober hitting stawk in the head to try and get him to take photos

Ness Muir - russ quinn pashing back stage.

Return of the Blog

The MOVIE is FINISHED:- Hey to all bruzzas and female associates/babes. Finally we return with the most controversial blog on the south coast. The film "I Wouldnt Normally" will be premiering on the 31st of July 2009, it is a friday night with after party at Husky pub!

Why the lag? - its possibly been three or four months since our last post, and for this we apologise. However now the film/blog/surfing is back on track... here are a few updates.

Adam Quinn - Has been a write off all year, surrounded by primary adolescents whilst trying to finish Diploma of education. He is the Van Wilder of the south coast.

Russ Quinn - With a new gf in tow, russ has been nowhere in sight from many recent pumping sessions.

Shawn McCauley - was last spotted no liscence, moving to sanctuary point and formula 1 racing out the heavily localised wave of "trienos bra".

Morgan Brown - Another kid under the thumb...

Ian Osterloh/Alex Parker Munting... that says it all.
