Have you seen the November 2005 issue of The Skateboard Mag? If not, go pick it up and check out the story about when Andrew Reynolds and Bryan Herman first met, and how Bryan got hooked up on Baker and Emerica. It’s sick!

So, here’s the deal: The Emerica Mansion II is now in effect, and the residents have moved in. Heath Kirchart, Kevin “Spanky” Long, Leo Romero and filmer Jon Miner are now roommates!

You know what happened the last time Emerica had a house full of team riders living together. That’s right, This is Skateboarding was the result. I wonder what will come out of this new living arrangement? We’ll have to wait and see.

We finally got a photo of Erik Ellington with his newborn son, Julius Luther, who is now about a month old. Erik is loving his “dad” status. Check him out!

Brandon Westgate has found a new home over at Birdhouse. Before embarking on the Emeritalia Tour, he had been skating in New York with Aaron Suski and Seamus, the Birdhouse Team Manager.

Speaking of Suski, he is completely ruling the December 2005 issue of TransWorld Skateboarding. He got the cover, a two-page Birdhouse ad and five pages worth of photos in a Spain tour article. Nice one, Suskiwoo!
