This title is fitting for a Halloween post on Midwest Represent.

Friend and family of MWR, Joaquin (Frank) Verges, is hosting a photo gallery at Rodan in Wicker Park.  Stop by Sunday, November 8th to see a collection boasting some of his best work.  Whether you know him or not, I suggest you stop by. Chances are you’ll see a Chicago homey or two…

I love getting these emails from shop kids…(this one was from Mike Herman at Mountain Outfitters in West Bend, WI who just received a new pair of Infidel bindings)

“Dude, i got home and got about as stoked as opening day, aha. I probably carpet boarded presses to feel em out for about in hour in total and i already love em.  Cant wait to use em this weekend!!! Aahhhh, 2 more days!”

At the end of the day, we are all snowboard NERDS, and I love it!

Now…if we can only get him on a Burton Board!
