We Are Here.

Xanadu 2: Electric Boogaloo...

The above random brain fart may seem nonsensical, pointless and impulsive but it’s a start and that’s all that matters … Though I don’t yet consider myself a veteran of journalism, I have picked up a few tricks, among them, how to fight off writer’s block: “get started with whatever random inconsequential thing that comes to mind, then get to the good stuff.” This is the FayettevilleFEED, and this is our nonsensical, pointless and impulsive start: goo goo g’joob … Now let’s get to the good stuff.

Now normally, after finishing the story, I’d go back and edit out all the stuff which had been used simply to get me started, however in this case, random and impulsive is all too fitting for a magazine that began on a whim.

Last year, the economic collapse hit, and it hit hard (but deep down we know it still loves us). The paper I was working for was affected, as was just about every other business in the country and as a result, no one was hiring...There is no writer’s block quite as daunting as the kind that comes from having no one to write for.

After losing my apartment, my car and just about everything I owned (it was inside the car), I decided to do what I have always done when faced with writer’s block: something stupid ...I went to the only business I knew that was not being smacked around by a drunken self-loathing economy, Arc Design – an Internet design business that from my past interactions with them had proven to be run by actual sane and kind people – lil’ known fact, most Internet businesses are run by Somali pirates...I sat down with Arc’s head honchos and essentially asked for their help in creating an online magazine - and then building a giant planet eating robot – which, to my continued shock, they agreed to – uhm, the robot is currently on the

backburner until we can figure out how to fuel it with something besides hobo blood.

Not being capable of writing the whole thing by myself, I went to my heterosexual life partner and BFF Jaymie Baxley to seek assistance – I wanted the focus of the magazine to be dignified and fun at the same time, and this, I felt, perfectly described Baxley’s writing style (like a monkey wearing a monocle). Having wanted to model the publication after national publications like “Spin” and “Rolling Stone,” I went to possibly one of the finest photographers in North Carolina – Raul Rubiera Jr. The FEED began officially producing weekly online editions in May of 2009 – and word spread to the tune of thousands of people joining our Facebook fan page, MySpace and Twitter (we’re a slave to trends), at which point we were contacted by a Marshall Waren of CityView Publishing about the possibility of creating a monthly print edition of our magazine...A print edition of the FayettevilleFEED.com?...Nonsense.

Holy Writer

The following was written in response to a story we’d done in which reporter Jaymie Baxley volunteered to get a tattoo at Cross Creek Tattoo Shop and then write about the experience.

“I will offer a piercing, if you still want to write an article.

You can reach me at Primal Tattoo, the number is 910-8644465. I have been piercing in Fayetteville since 1996, and will guarantee the best experience a piercer can provide in the area.”

Dave Primalpiercer@hotmail.com Thanks Dave! We may just take you up on that offer – as we jump at any opportunity to get a writer to mutilate his person in the name of journalism … Why, who doesn’t remember Edward R. Murrow’s Pulitzer Prize winning first person coverage of the nipple ring phenomenon?

We’ll keep in touch, ~FEED

Re: Fayetteville FEED goes print “Wow that did not take long to sell out.”

Muvrshakr Sweepsman@gmail.com Sorry to disappoint you, Muvr.

We wanted to wait a little longer to sell out but we just couldn’t bear the thought of going another day without giant, golden statues of ourselves.

Now, if you’ll excuse us, we have to throw wads of money at all the little people on Gillespie St. from the tinted windows of our new limousine. ~FEED “Glad to see you are developing new technology, because, as everyone knows, print is the future and online is in decline.”

WTF?

Squirrels are very agile characters.

Stephen Waters Deleteskate@gmail.com …Yup … We would have to agree … We’re glad that we have managed to reach the much coveted rodent enthusiast demographic that has managed to elude most media outlets… Why, one could argue that the entire reason for the existence of the “Alvin and the Chipmunks” franchise, and the more recent “G-Force” film was to court this impossible to please audience, and yet, without even really trying, we have seduced them into our ranks …

Mom’ll be proud. ~FEED

Randy Foster Randyfoster@gmail.com Right you are – websites just can’t catch up to the ever evolving technology that is the print media.

Also, up is down, night is day, and sarcasm is the highest form of comedy … Psst! – Don’t forget to continue to visit FayettevilleFEED.com – the poor old coot may be getting on in years, but she still likes to pretend she has friends. You don’t have to touch her, just smile and nod. ~FEED

Vampire Weekend’s Sophomore Sunday Review: “Contra” Artist: Vampire Weekend

By Jaymie Baxley

Vampire Weekend’s sophomore effort, Contra, is just as good as its breakthrough predecessor, if a little less revelatory. When the NYC band’s self titled debut was released in the beginning of 2008, the blogosphere was immediately smitten by the album’s charming mixture of dorky, Paul Simon referencing global pop and jangly, hipster friendly indie rock, mainstream publications like Spin and Rolling Stone took notice shortly after. Sadly, wet behind the ears buzz bands have yet to find a cure for the inevitable blogger backlash that follows surprise success. Most upstarts respond swiftly by applying the eyeliner and forcing a moody disposition, others take ill-advised detours into the avant-garde but, after an inspirational pep talk from their mothers, Vampire Weekend opted to ignore the acidic jeers emitting from the peanut gallery and decided to stick to their guns.

Altogether less ramshackle and more nuanced than its predecessor, Contra (no discernible political

Vampire Weekend: Rostam Batmanglij, Chris Baio, Christopher Tomson, Ezra Koenig agenda here, the title is merely a playful dig at the Clash’s Sandinista) still consists of sparkly, world-tinged pop songs. The wispy marimbas in opener “Horchata” set the tone for the duration of the album. Elsewhere, “Giving up the Gun” throbs and sweeps like a lost New Order ballad.

“Diplomat’s Son,” Contra’s strongest offering, samples M.I.A.’s “Hussel” and recalls the Clash’s “Straight to Hell” (a song M.I.A. herself famously sampled on her hit “Paper Planes”) in that it sounds like a night in the jungle.

The rollicking first single “Cousins” lends the album some forward momentum (the band recently performed “Cousins” live on the Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien, but you were probably distracted

by O’Brien’s heated showdown with NBC). Front man Ezra Koenig has shaken his lyrical fixation with campus living, stretching the band’s appeal beyond the university set and

Contra’s songs are more immersive and ambitious than those featured on the band’s self-titled debut.

It may be too early to tell, but we predict that if Vampire Weekend continue to refine their craft with each subsequent release, the group will survive bandwagon abandonment. So far, so good.

Paddy Gibney’s guide to being a

M

aking music pay the bills can seem like an impossible feat no matter what town you live in (there’s a reason pawn shops are never short of guitars), but making it work in Fayetteville can require a miracle. Fortunately, we have ol’ Saint Patrick himself on speed dial.

Introducing, Paddy Gibney’s Guide to Rock.

An Interview by James Johnson Photos by Raul Rubiera Jr.

The Man, the Myth, the Sloppy Drunk For those who’ve found comfortable dwellings below a rock, Paddy Gibney is Fayetteville’s own Irish folk phenomenon, who along with classically trained violinist Bill Ayerbe, has managed to release five CDs and one audio cassette tape (yeah they’ve been at this for a while).

Thanks to their success in garnering audiences, Gibney was able to open his own bar and music venue, appropriately named Paddy’s Pub, and, as a result, secure Ayerbe and him the cushy gig of “house band.”

“Paddy and Bill play every Friday and Thursday night, and every Friday and Thursday night his pub is jam packed,” said Gibney fan and webmaster Laura Harper.

Sadly, Gibney’s story is nowhere near typical - so what’s his secret? We sat down with him to find out just that.

TIP 1: Get off your arse.

It almost seems like “stop being lazy” should go without saying, but Gibney feels that most musicians lack a little thing he likes to refer to as “work ethic” … It sounds cooler in an Irish accent.

“Let me tell you something,” said Gibney. “The things you need to be successful in music are the same things you need to survive in any business. Why aren’t you making phone calls? Paying to have something recorded that you can give out during gigs?”

Gibney points to bands who spend all of their time rehearsing as a prime example.

“They practice every day and five years later they still haven’t done one show,” said Gibney.

Gibney suggests going the opposite rout - get out there, play music, and learn as you go along. “Just Do It” is more than a shoe company slogan, it’s sage advice.

TIP 2: Play first, party later.

What qualifies Gibney and Ayerbe to offer advice on how not to screw up, is

fayettevillefeed.com

probably their lengthy resume of screw ups. You name it, they’ve done it.

“Oh yeah, we could never get out of Southern Pines sober,” said Ayerbe.

“There was this one time we did a show pantsless. Paddy had a guitar to cover himself, but I’m playing a violin, so yeah, I could only get down to my underwear.”

“Bill requires a bigger fig leaf,” joked Gibney.

The moral of this story? Get your paycheck and -then- be an ass.

TIP 3: Shag at your own risk.

True, sex and live music tend to go together like trailer parks and domestic violence, but once the music has faded and the hangover subsided, there still exists a little thing called consequences...We asked Gibney to give us an example of such consequences, and ended up with a story which was essentially unprintable – so – just take our word for it and be careful with whom you hook up with after the show: Cause

the last thing you want to wake up with in the morning is a story that can’t be told.

TIP 4: Get over yourself.

Let’s just say you happened to assemble the greatest band on Earth.

Your drums are nothing less than Godly, your guitarist can literally shoot electricity from his axe like in those 1980s music videos, and your bass player does what bass players do best - be chill. You‘ve got all the makings for success, right? Well, even the Beatles got by with a little help from their friends. If you don’t step down from your giant spinning pedestal every now and then to shake hands with the mere mortals surrounding you, then who do you think is going to be holding that pedestal up?

“It is about being personable,” said Gibney. “You have to have time for people … You make friends with your audience. All of our friends are people we’ve met at shows.”

It’s take themselves too seriously; they frustrating seeing musicians who try to be rock stars. The people that show up and say sh*t to their audience. know us know that we’re down to Say there is a real big overweight girl in earth.

Important Questions with Mouse

By Jaymie Baxley | Photos by Raul Rubiera Jr.

E

very month at the Fayetteville FEED, we abduct local artists and business owners, hold them at gun point and ask them the most important questions we can muster.

This month we give a cookie to burgeoning urban artist, Mouse.

Name appropriately pint sized, the 21-year old Mouse graduated from the Living Arts college in Raleigh last year and presented her first public gallery at The Rock Shop shortly after. Today, she scrounges up extra cheese as a hired gun, lending her art and animation expertise to various businesses around the area .

We recently cornered Mouse in a back alley and viciously interrogated her about her artistic influences, her artistic intentions and her pointy hair.

FAYETTEVILLE FEED: You have professional backgrounds in both 3D and traditional art. Do you have a preference?

Do not disturb: Mouse’s creative process

MOUSE: I definitely prefer 2D. I have more experience with 2D and 3D is too painstaking. It takes a lot of time to make that look good. I majored in 3D animation in college but I mostly get commissioned for 2D art.

FF: We heard your exhibition at The Rock Shop was a success, Would you be interested in doing other shows there in the future?

MOUSE: I heard about a hip-hop themed show in Raleigh through a friend and he helped me pull it together. From a financial perspective, it was a success. I sold through just about everything. Over half of what I brought got purchased. I would like to do another show there.

F.F: Your hair looks dangerous. How long does it take to style?

MOUSE: (laughs) I get that question a lot, actually. It only takes about 15 minutes. I use spray and glue. That’s about it.

F.F.: Is there any underlying message or commentary in your work?

MOUSE: I don’t really have any specific message. It’s all sort of random. I just want people to recognize what’s in my head.

F.F.:Who would you cite as influences on your style?

MOUSE: The first time I decided to switch my style up from the anime type stuff I was known for, I was inspired

by Aaron Alexovich. He does this online comic called “Serenity Rose” (www.heartshapedskull.com ). It’s about this little witch who kind of reminds me of myself. I’m also influenced by the music video director Chris Cunningham. I’m attracted to graffiti. I’m really drawn to that style. I like that they’ve recently started putting graffiti books in book stores.

F.F.: How do people typically react to your art?

MOUSE: They usually say “I like this a lot!” My work got a lot of double takes at The Rock Shop gallery. Anyway, people my age like it. I’m not sure about the people older than me, I’d like to think that they think it’s interesting.

Art can be defined as a conscious creative process, or simply “to create.” In live theater an actor’s artistic challenge is to “create” a new character with a life and personality all its own, and in Fayetteville’s theater community, there are few actors who’ve stepped up to that challenge with such an alarming success rate as character actress Nicki Hart.

with Nicki Hart Hart, a theater major with a degree from Northern Kentucky University, is best known as a “character actress” because, unlike many actors who get away with simply playing altered versions of themselves (we’re looking at you Keanu Reeves), Hart reinvents herself with each role, creating fascinating and often times quirky characters, unique to the requirements of the role. This talent has landed Hart roles as diverse as that of the diva opera singer turned living wardrobe, Madame de la Grande Bouche, in 2006’s stage adaptation of “Beauty and the Beast,” to that of Amy, the fast talking neurotic with cold feet, in 2008’s production of “Company.”

“I loved playing Amy in ‘Company‘ so much,” gushed Hart, who is almost never without her trademark grin. “I know one thing – I can talk fast and I can sing fast. I have a ton of fun on stage doing that stuff.”

Hart was a born performer before she knew what acting was.

As a child, Hart was mesmerized by the performance of comedic actress Carol Burnett, whom she names as an inspiration for her interest in comedic roles.

“I remember reenacting entire Burnett episodes growing up,” said Hart. “I’d grab the kids next door and say, ‘you’re Tim, and you’re Vicki – Go!’” It was only once Hart entered junior high that she realized all her childhood games had helped her hone a talent.

“I saw this really interesting group of kids who were calling themselves ‘thespians,’” Hart said. “I stayed after school and saw that they were working on stage make up, costumes, all that fun stuff …. Musical theater is so alive – that’s what it is. Live people in front of you – telling you a story. That just blew me away – so I did anything and everything I could to be a part of that. ” After college, Hart strayed away from theater, only to return upon moving to Fayetteville with her husband Jason, and discovering the Cape Fear Regional Theater, on 1209 Hay Street.

“I was amazed. I didn’t know about this really amazing art community that existed here and that there was more than one place to do a show.

When I discovered the CFRT, I honed in on it – I just got so involved that eventually I became a family member - and then I did discover the Gilbert and these other places that were doing just really good theater .”

Initially, Hart said, her roles with the CFRT were just small bit parts that didn’t require much of her, however

there was someone who saw in her potential, legendary Fayetteville director, Lee Yopp, who at the time was head of theater at Fayetteville Technical Community College.

“Lee Yopp came to see “Children of Eden” at the CFRT where I was playing a small role, after which he called me every night on my cell phone during my performances. It

would be these lovely calls from Lee in which he would say ‘Hi, I’m Lee Yopp.

I am doing this show called ‘Carousel‘ ….” He kept forgetting to leave me his number! Finally one night – the phone rings backstage – I pick up on the first ring ‘Hello? Hello!?’ Lee offered me the part of Carrie Pipperidge.”

The role, felt Hart, changed the way much of the area theater

community viewed her as an actress. Hart felt that it had opened doors for her and given her the confidence to audition for bigger roles.

“I would have people coming up to me, people who had seen me in shows before this one, and say ‘Nicki! I didn’t know you could sing! You were really good!’ My heart would be so full. I’d have to control myself so I didn’t blurt out, ‘yes! Yes I can! I can do it!’ I just needed that chance.”

Unfortunately, introducing the talents of Nicki Hart to the general theater public would be among Yopp’s final gifts to the community, as “Carousel” turned out to be Yopp’s final production before passing away.

“I know it is totally illegal, and I shouldn’t be saying this – but I really hope someone videotaped that performance,” Hart said. “That was a cast where everybody truly loved each other and supported each other – that was one of those moments where you just love the director, the cast and the crew. It was all okay. You all escape. You trust everyone on stage.”

Since “Carousel” closed, Hart has become a regular fixture on the CFRT and FTCC stage, most recently starring in the CFRT’s 2009 production of “The Odd Couple,” as one of the Costazuela sisters.

With a new theater season ahead, Hart has her sights set on conquering her next artistic challenge: drama.

“I want to do a lot of parts! … For example I want to play – Annie Sullivan in “Miracle Worker.” I have always thought that would be a great dramatic part.

I would put so much of my soul into it,” said Hart. “I think I can relate to her. Ha ha, I’m not a teacher of the blind, but I feel through my life – all of the things that I’ve dealt with – the things that seemed totally impossible – I’ve felt that I have always been fighting – like her. I feel like I have to prove myself. Life can be an all out, drag out fight, but I really do believe in myself and that is the best you can do.”

Nikki, you have some ‘splaining to do!

Chinatown Wars The Latest Installment of Grand Theft Auto Game review by D’Juan Irvin

Above: Some Chinatown Wars action Below: A few of the heavies

Let’s get this out of the way quickly: “GTA: Chinatown Wars” is a port of the Nintendo DS game of the same name.

While most games that get ported get slim to no changes, this isn’t one of those games.

Graphically, the game is much clearer than the pixelated madness found on the DS, and the difference is nearly night and day. There’s also been a slight tilt on the camera, as its angle is a little better for viewing the onscreen festivities.

Instead of the DS’ stylus controls, the PSP’s analog nub takes over for minigames and actions such as making molotov cocktails, drawing tattoos on gang members, or throwing grenades.

You start the game as Huang, flying in from China to meet your uncle and avenge your father’s death, but in true GTA fashion things go downhill pretty quickly. The overall story is standard GTA fare with twists thrown in for good measure.

One of the focuses of the game is dealing drugs, where buying low and selling high is your priority. Think back to “Dope Wars” and you get the idea. To make things easier (too easy, if you ask me), you get emails from both buyers and sellers informing you of their sales. The in-game menus emulate the PSP’s Cross Media Bar, so they’re easy to navigate.

All in all, “GTA: Chinatown Wars” is a fun game - if you can get over the fact that it’s not as graphically detailed as Liberty City Stories. It’s easy to pick up and put down, so whether you have five minutes or fifty, you’ll have a great time.

With 2010 in its infancy, we decided now was a good time to break out the ol’ crystal ball and try to name the 10 artists to watch for this year.

In creating this list, we at the FEED considered a number of key factors. Does this artist have the necessary drive? Skill? Sideburns?

We’re certain we left a number of artists off - due to either lack of room, or simply forgetfulness, however, in no particular order, we present our list of ...

By The FEED Staff | Photos by RAul Rubiera Jr.

After-11 is a poppunk/hiphop trio with an unhealthy obsession with all things that amuse 14-year-old boys - this might not sound like a glowing endorsement, but our endorsement doesn’t really matter to the Fayettevillebased pranksters, Joel Carlton (drums, vocals), Josh Lamson (bass, vocals) and Cody Warner (guitar, vocals), as their brand of humor pop has garnered them a sizable local following. It’s easy to see why, as the quality of their recordings and online presentation show that, though they may not take themselves seriously, their music is another story.

Cardiact Local hip hop artist Cardiact has never ceased to impress us with the level of care he brings to his work. Everything Cardiact touches has been of the upmost quality - whether it be his music, his new videos or his latest album’s art (photography by our own Raul Rubiera Jr., and illustrations by artist Danny Hirajeta), Cardiact only goes with the best of the best.

34

February 2010

We’re already hearing rumors about Cardiact being swept away by record label executives - we just hope he remembers his roots when he makes it big … or at least to send his roots an annual giant bag of money.

The Clean Escape Chances are you’ve never seen these guys perform live - and if you have, you haven’t seen all it is that these guys are capable of, or, even more likely, it was all a drug induced dream. The Clean Escape, made up of guitarist/vocalist Josh and drummer Jonny Ray are probably the Fayetteville music scene’s best kept secret.

The brothers have been creating magnificent music from their home studio, while growing their following entirely through the series of tubes we know as the Internets (currently their MySpace boasts more than 30,000 friends). If you’re still not convinced that these guys are worth watching, we’d recommend you click on over and give them a listen.

Sir Ben Marx Sir Ben Marx’s latest album, a collection of electronic tinged neosoul ballads entitled “Reflections Of Ben,” will be released on the 14th of this month. That gives you and your spouse plenty of time to prepare for the

baby that will inevitably be made upon listening to the album.

Oakcrest Since their start in late 2008, the boys of Oakcrest have seen their share of upheavals, among them the loss of their drummer and bass player within the same month, as well as a house fire, however despite God’s apparent hatred for them, the boys continue to prevail.

Their music, which is a ska-tinged mixture of traditional rock and punk, has improved vastly since their humble beginnings, and one can’t seem to shake their names off the monthly music schedule. We admire a band with tenacity, and these guys have it in spades.

Shane Kelly Back in 2004, area born troubadour Shane Kelly seemed bound for stardom.

He was signed to a major label, his shows were regularly packed and he was touring the country. But he cast all that aside after the tragic passing of his mother. Last year, Kelly announced his triumphant return to music after a five year hiatus. With a new EP on the horizon and a slew of live performances planned, Kelly is determined to regain the high ground he abandoned.

FEED fact: Fayetteville was built on top of an old Indian burial ground – bonus fact: sometimes we lie to get attention.

After-11

Chris Hurst When Chris Hurst preforms, women swoon. Sometimes these women are our girlfriends and sometimes they are our mothers and sometimes when we come home late from work we catch Hurst escaping from our balcony windows half clothed; We despise Chris Hurst. Regardless, we predict the hard working singer songwriter and scene fixture will prosper in 2010. Our mothers agree.

Doc Aquatic Fayetteville’s wayward sons, Doc Aquatic, are the ‘Ville’s only true indie rock band (that we know of), and yet they don’t live in Fayetteville at all … color us bitter … Nonetheless, the guys produce good stuff and are regularly booking gigs across NC, at such impressive college venues as the Soap Box and The Cave … We’ll give ‘em more praise after they manage to book something at The Rock Shop.

Fractured Fairytales Through tireless self-promotion, local industrial/metal outfit Fractured

Fractured Fairytales have a stick, and are ready to use it

Stych Derek Allman, David Diffee and Dustin Allman are Stych, a pop/rock band that straddles the fence between Fayetteville and Raleigh. Possibly the band’s greatest strength is their refined sound, which is likely the result of the guys paying attention in music class (guitarist Derek also happens to rock mad violin skills).

Currently the band is on hiatus, preparing for the release of their third album, which they claim will be a more eclectic mixture of musical styles. Just record one polka track and we’re sold.

Fairytales have won the adoration of thousands of fans and attracted the attention of industry players and major labels. With the trio preparing to embark on a new tour, Fractured Fairytales appear poised to breakthrough in 2010.

From the cradle to the ramp:

erry Grimble’s reputation precedes him. The 38year old is regarded as a legend amongst local skate enthusiasts both young and old. His storied career in the skateboard industry is the quintessential underdog tale, punctuated with exasperating highs and crushing lows.

From his tiny back office at DaVille Skate Shop on Bragg Boulevard, Grimble recalls his first encounter with skateboarding as a boy in Hope Mills.

“This movie came on TV called ‘Skate Madness.’ I saw that movie and I was just blown away by the tricks the stars were doing and by the lifestyle and the culture. It looked like so much fun.”

Grimble’s fate was sealed after receiving a skateboard for his 7th birthday. “I fell in love. I didn’t know that there was a skateboarding industry or anything,” said Grimble “I just thought it was something cool that you did. After that it just devoured me, the music, the clothes, everything.” As a teenager, Grimble took his infatuation a step further by skating competitively for Hawley’s Bicycle World, where he also worked.

At the ripe old age of 18, Grimble single-handedly convinced city officials to build a skate park in Fayetteville. “Just about every one of my friends either had warrants out for their arrest or were into hardcore drugs.

It occurred to me that we would be much more focused and we would stay out of trouble if we had a skate park to retreat to.” said Grimble “I wrote a proposal and the city went with it.

I just didn’t know it would take four years to build.”

A long series of counsel meetings, fund raisers and negotiations with parks and recreation stalled the creation of the park, but Grimble stuck with his vision and in 1993 his dedication finally paid off when GP Skate Park opened on Raeford Rd. ON THE GRIND While Grimble was spearheading GP, Hawley’s was minimizing its skateboarding department in response to the sport’s waning popularity. “They shrank it down to one little corner, but I knew a dedicated skate shop could potentially work well in Fayetteville,” said Grimble “Especially with the new park in town.” The budding entrepreneur followed his instincts and opened Duh! Skate Shop in 1995, a block away from GP. By 1998, GP had begun to flounder but Duh! had grown exponentially.

The city eventually shut the park down and Grimble moseyed his store over to a bigger location in the Westwood shopping center. Though business was steady at Duh!, Grimble still clung to his notion of a skate shop benefiting from a park companion. Hoping to provide a venue for Fayetteville’s newly displaced skaters, Grimble opened the Duh! Skatezone in 1999. It was an immediate hit within the community.

Years later, Grimble was contacted by an investor interested in expanding the Skatezone into a temporary park connected to the Crown Coliseum.

Grimble crunched numbers and convinced his investor that building a permanent park downtown at a newly available location on Blount St. would be more advantageous. Thus, Duh! evolved into the Mega Skate Plaza.

fayettevillefeed.com

37

Terry Grimble When it opened, the Plaza was the second largest skate park in North America. Grimble took advantage of his sprawling new facility by giving Fayetteville’s skateboarding community something they would

never have expected: A major professional skate event, dubbed MASA (Mid-Atlantic Skateboard Association) Pro. The first annual MASA Pro received extensive press coverage and the adoration of local skaters, but the event was a financial disaster that Grimble spent several months recovering from.

Though the second MASA Pro drew a bigger crowd than its predecessor and was the subject of a special on Fuel TV, it didn’t fare much better financially.

“We were struggling,” said Grimble “We were late on our rent and we got evicted the same day that Fuel TV’s special on MASA Pro 2 aired. It was sort of a bittersweet day, but luckily I was able to strike up a deal with our landlord and we got the park back pretty quickly.”

DE-RAILED Just as the Mega Skate Plaza seemed poised to recoup its losses from MASA Pro, Grimble and his investor began butting heads behind the scenes. Their disagreements led to a series of debilitating legal conflicts in which false allegations about ownership were made against Grimble in court. As a result, he was stripped of his park and store and denied ownership even after the accusations were proven bogus.

Dejected, Grimble relocated to Wilmington to support his daughter.

He remained there for several months until his uncle offered him a security guard position at his used car dealership back in Fayetteville.

Grimble was quickly promoted to sales and within a week of that promotion was managing the lot.

He patiently squirreled away every dollar he earned from his work at the dealership, characteristically determined to regain what was rightfully his.

UNDERDOG, TRIUMPHANT Today, Grimble is basking in the success of his latest love letter to skateboarding, DaVille Skate Shop.

During the shop’s grand opening last November, droves of Grimble’s former customers came out to congratulate him and support his most recent endeavor. DaVille has been thriving ever since. “Business has been great, everyone’s really digging the shop.” said Grimble.

For nearly two decades, Terry Grimble has been the proactive king of Fayetteville’s skateboarding community and, with the cards finally back in his favor, it’s doubtful that he’ll be relinquishing his crown anytime soon.
