I've been trying to get on a trip to Haiti. I've applied at Hands On Disaster Response but haven't heard from them yet. The long-time political situation there, along with the recent earthquake, have put a drive in me to do something. Anything. This is another disaster where I sit here in my lucky situation with a computer and a skateboard and camera and an education and a beautiful wife and home and I feel blessed, and I feel compelled to do something to help these folks. But this time I've actually applied for a trip to go help, and I'm looking for more ways to get down there. Sooner the better. If you know of any good ways, or know someone who is going, please email me at mark _at_ skatepunk.net. My friend Josh Higgins is part of this amazing project which will benefit Doctors Without Borders. It's called the Haiti Poster Project and is well worth checking out.

Larry Perkins apparently has been making a push to get back on his game lately, and he's been trying to get a boutique going, trying to get some new kicks from Nike via Theotis, and he's even reaching for the stars looking for a job at the KFC. Word on the street is that Nike's been paying attention. The only question is, when will we finally see him skate? Tampa boys have been holding out for a Tampa Pro appearance, but I'll believe it when I see it. Check the links to all three calls here.
