HESSIAN SESSION

It’s summer, the time when professional skateboarders pile into cramped, stinky vans and, between rest stops filled with alcohol, porn and fireworks purchases, drive across the country and do demos for throngs of kids who can’t believe they’re seeing their heroes, hungover and quick-tempered though they may be, in person.

This Thursday, July 26, at 6 p.m., members of the Zero and Mystery teams, including founder Jamie Thomas — the dude who turned a generation of kids into metal-listening, handrail-skating hessians — Tommy Sandoval and Jimmy Carlin, will show their stuff at Projet 45, the DIY concrete skate park behind the Taz (8931 Papineau), as they hit Montreal on their The Moose is Loose Canadian tour.
