Zac's been at my place for roughly 35 of the last 42 days or something.

We're working away on a 200-page issue.

(Fuck.)

He's been crashing in my basement the whole time and carved out a nice corner for himself.

Haven't quite cleaned up from the last party. Sorry. Oh, and added a few boxes since.

Finally got my corner set up with a new table and chairs too.

He'll be back on Thursday.

DEVON GTX

There is a new supercar on the scene, and get this: IT'S AMERICAN! I am not a big fan of American cars, other than the Dodge Viper, which I really like (first generation body style please), but this I like. I am sure it has to do with the unique two-tone paint job, unique paneling, and very clean lines and edges. It is very smooooooth.

It actually performs amazingly well also. It packs a nice V-10 under that finely sculpted hood, and it just set a new Leguna Seca lap record, for cars that aren't actual race cars, by posting a 1.35.075. That beats out the Nissan GTR, Porsche 997 GT3, Corvette ZR1, and the Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR.

On sale for $500,000 next year, so start saving.

FAIL.

I spent a bit of my morning looking for some new tees.

(Can't wear Rodman tees around the clock apparently.)

It's been 8 months since I did a 'View All' on Karmaloop.

Likely to be another 8. At least.

Closed my Safari tabs for the day with a grand total of zero purchases.

Thanks to tees like this.

Magic Fall 09

For those that don't know, Magic is the twice yearly trade show for streetwear and a ton of clothing in general. Basically if you work for a shop, it's the place to check out all your store's lines at once. It also doubles as a train wreck for anyone who thinks they have swag.

New base camp this year (props to the AK guys), luckily it was directly across the street from the nearest Ross.


Definitely had to hook the purple name tag up with the purple shoes. It was asking for it.

Yeah, two pics. THE HOOK-UP WAS THAT GOOD.


The calm before the storm. I was there obscenely early and had just about all my appointments on Tuesday (over nine hours at three different trade shows). That's not what's up.


Limited edition T-shirt and matching laces: targeting the consumer who can't stand to have only one garment with music-note-dollar-signs on it.


Two meetings in for me, this booth is completely empty and has strands of scotch tape around it. Somebody's intern wasn't about to have a good day.

Pat Liberty showing the Akomplice line for probably the tenth time that day.


The man, the myth, the legend dropped by the Akomplice booth minutes before I did. Good trip but Eric Glennie woulda made it that much better...


After Magic I hit Project (to check out the most ridiculous collection of hot chicks assembled in one place) and Capsule (to check out streetwear). Capsule was WAY bigger than last time and definitely appears to be the future destination of streetwear.


Hittin the airport, I saw my dude shutting shit down.
