The following article/interview was originally published on skatepunk.net in early 2000. The timing was key. The Locust had really hit their stride as a band, 31g was boasting a strong catalog, and the recent passing of Swing Kids and Unbroken guitarist Eric Allen was a bitter pill to swallow. Justin took the time to provide thoughtful and in-depth answers and the interview reflects that period of time very well.

Babies, Indy, The Locust, etc
Posted by Mark - 24 Oct, 2002Well, it's already the 24th and I haven't written in this thing all month. There've been some other things added and fixed on the site, some new links, to Sessions, and to Britt Parrot's M.E.S.S. (that's Mid-Eastern Skateboard Series) site, and the Sten Guns micro-site, and we're working behind the scenes on a couple other things, too. Between that and skating, playing music, traveling, and other stuff it's been hard to make big strides, but I'm getting there!

Last House Party At Avocado Club
Posted by Mark - 5 Apr, 2002My friend Justin got evicted from the house in San Diego he'd lived for seven years, because they sold the house. Upon moving out they threw a house party and The Locust, Blood Brothers, Defacto, GoGoGo Airheart, Moving Units, and one other band played... Very cool show, bands, party. Has anyone heard the new Mars Volta record yet? I'm dying to, but can't get my hands on it...
