“Thanks to everyone who came out last night to celebrate a video project that set me on a 10-year path to try and do-right by the skateboarders of the Lehigh Valley.

Skating, traveling and becoming life-long friends with guys like Eric Potts, Andy Mack, Steve Hencheck, James Gleason, Dave Hill, Josh Novak, Matt Kayes, Ray Gurz, Blake Wohrmann, Mike Emery, Jay Sigafoos and so many others is what inspired me to open up Homebase so the 610 could have a shop that cared about the culture of skateboarding- not just the sales.  If you were there 10 years ago at the Icehouse then you know how different skateboarding was here and how it felt like the winds of change were blowing through Bethlehem.  Those short months in between the premiere of City Without Spots and the day we opened our door were some of the most exciting and trying times of my life but in retrospect 10 years later, I could not imagine and would not want my life to be any different.

There were 3 generations of LV skaters in the room last night and in the end there was $415 in our donation jar- minus the small bills we put in for change- we will be donating $375 to the Bethlehem Skateplaza.  Thank you to Andy V for making Equivalents #2, the LVAC for printing the benefit Tee’s, Just Born for donating the projector and again, everyone who came out to show their support.”

Thank you for all your support & love,

- Andrew Po
