Thursday, October 22, The Bubble will hold GRIPTAPE, an event put on by Blair Hess celebrating the generation that brought skateboarding to the street. GRIPTAPE will include a live screen printing by Paul Gnu, "Grind Life 1987" (a photo exhibit chronicling skateboarding in South Florida), and works by 20 artists such as skate icons Lance Mountain, the infamous druggy-turned-born-again Christian Hosoi, Ray Barbee, Steve Caballero, Mark Lake, and Kris Markovich. Margate punk band The Shakers, a group that fuses early '90s punk with hardcore, are scheduled to perform.
Check next week for updates on other bands booked to perform.
