1. Skateboard heroes converge in Soho for art exhibit (and mayhem) tomorrow. "Eyes Wide Open"  features works by Pat Ngoho, Lance Mountain, Steve Caballero, Steve Olson, Chad Muska and more in a celebration of "skating's fallen soldiers."  The Love & Guts/Oakley-sponsored show opens on June 4th from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Red Bull Space (40 Thompson Street) with music by DJ Taryn Manning.

2. So, why are so many in skaters in NYC this weekend? They're participating in the "The World's Greatest Skateboarding Event," the 2010 Maloof Money Cup on June 5th and 6th in Flushing Meadow, Corona Park, Queens, presented by Vans and Monster Energy. Btw: The street course will be permanent and open to the public after the competition.

3. AND: Once they're all wired on energy drinks, they'll head to the after party at DCTV (87 Lafayette Street) at 9 p.m., Saturday, for some live music provided by Madball and NAAM plus DJs The Mexicutioner and Kellingit.

4. Oh, we almost forgot the Closing Party!  That'll be on Sunday, June 6th, from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m. at Gallery Bar (120 Orchard Street) with open bar from 9:30 to 10:30 and an exhibit of NYC skateboard photography featured in the powerHouse book Full Bleed  by Alex Corporan, Andre Razo and Ivory Serra. The book includes 40 photographers and covers over 30 years of street action.

5. Some of you may be attending the FREE Converse "Gone to Governors" concert with Yeasayer, Keepaway and Delicate Steve on Saturday, June 5, 8 p.m., and that's OK.  But be sure to take your portable FLO TV and watch all the Maloof action LIVE on FUEL.

6. And finally, don't forget to head over to SUPREME (274 Lafayette Street) and stock up on some goodies. Sorry, the Condo decks are sold out. (Condo just did the cover for Kanye's new single "Power.")  We hear that new Sean Cliver boards and Ts are coming soon.
