I got on my car after a long day of work and drove south to Carlsbad for the Black Label Premiere of “God Save the Label”; After a 45 minute drive on traffic I got to my final destination “The Hensley’s Bar” , The flying Elephant is the name of this Irish Dive bar located by the 405 FWY and owned by one of my fucking hero’s Mr. Matt Hensley!
I didnt have to drive to long to find a parking spot and I thought it might be because I got there like an hour before the movie, little did I know the place was already packed and due to a “California Department of bullshit” law, we werent able to enter the place until the people inside had left the joint.
The guys organizing the premier were forced to have 2 shows and I was one of the lucky ones to wait for the sloopy seconds. Anyways, I got in, got a beer and walk straight to the area were the movie was going to show, the room had some Black Label boards on the walls and on the screen as a manner of previews before the movie they were showing Animal Chin!! I got a chair and watched the movie that brought back all the memories still alive from the good old times.
After the “Animal Chin” preview the feature movie started and I noticed a couple of names right away Ben Skrzypek and Peter Raffin…really good stuff, also Shuriken Shanon and Vince del Valle were throwing down good tricks in this video but definitely Chris Troy had the heaviest hammers in it, overall a pretty good video.
Here are a couple pics from the event.
