SHOTGUN!

This summer the word "ShotGUN" was one of the commonly used words/phreases amongst the crew. We would argue the rules just about everytime there was a discrepancy. I have found the official rules/history/exceptions of ShotGUN! you can read the Full Official Shotgun Rules for yourself. Here are some good ones that my fellow crew needs to follow! You know who you are.

+You Must Say The Word "Shotgun"
You must say the word "Shotgun" to stake your claim on Shotgun. This must be done clearly and loud enough so that at least one other to-be occupant of the vehicle can hear you. No variations of this word are acceptable. After you have rightfully called Shotgun, you have exclusive rights to Shotgun for that ride. However, if no one hears you call Shotgun it is still fair game for everyone.

+The Deed Must Be Done Before Shotgun May Be Called
For these rules to work properly, it is essential for you to understand and accept the concept of the "Deed". Shotgun may only be called after the "deed is done". Simply stated, the deed is any activity or objective that directly precedes the ride in the automobile. The deed can be anything ranging from a visit at a friend's house, to a shopping trip at the mall, to a visit to the Grand Canyon. We cannot stress how important this is because this establishes a Shotgun-calling time frame that ensures everyone has an equal chance of recognizing when to call Shotgun.
There is no crime greater than calling Shotgun on Monday in reference to the ride to the concert on Friday. Some people choose to play this way, and they are fools.

+You Must Be Outside To Call Shotgun
The best way to establish exactly when the deed is done is to define this moment as the instance that you have left the building in which the deed took place. All passengers need not to have exited, but someone must hear you call Shotgun.

+The Line-Of-Sight Rule
In the situation of the deed being a hike or other extensive outdoor activity, you may not call Shotgun until the automobile is within your sight. This rule needs only to be used when the passengers are outside for a long time and have traveled long distances from the car, as with a day of snow skiing.

Sneaker Culture?

Ok so this video is pretty old and has plenty of good points about the culture with a NYC point of view. I would have to agree with every word at the begginning of the clip. It's deep and so true.

The Couch of 140 Choptank.

This is where is all goes down. The main focal point and place to meet in our nieghborhoods. Wheather stopping by for 5 minute or stopping by an ending up staying the whole night, this is where is all started and continues. From playing cards, recording in the studio, watching movies/tv, getting your wig spilt, useing the computer, clowning, bullshit or reminiscing about music, sports, high school, and everything that happend in the past 7 or so years. These pics are from the past 7 years. The main focus in each picture is the couch and if you dont recognize the couch you are prolly not a very close friend. Also check how much the living room changed over time.
