BLOCK PARTY 2012 – sponsor / participant

HUMIDITY SKATE SHOP – charles johnson

Humidity skate shop has helped out Block Party since our first time throwing it in 2008. They are always down to support independent efforts in new orleans & provide a space for people who need supplies to push around the city. Philip who runs the shop is a good dude. He took over the spot just a few years ago and has helped to keep the long standing skate shop a staple in our town.

This year they are donating a complete board that we will be raffling off. I believe we are getting a simpsons cruiser board. You can get a chance to win it for real cheap at this year’s Block Party.

Even if you don’t skate they have a wide selection of shoes & clothing. If you do skate, they have the best boards in the city plus a knowledgeable staff. Please support them if you can.
