M o n d a y , A u g u s t 2 4 , 2 0 0 9What are you guys thinking!? Where was I when it became cool to wear kids' Halloween costumes as your standard piece of clothing? This is ridiculous, and I really can't justify why it exists at all, and it costs $124. Yeah, right. If you are trying to impress the Geico Gecko, this may be your hoody, if not, stay away, far, far away.

Not anymore, a new item looks to take the place of the nearly deceased spinners on the autos of young drivers everywhere. Will it succeed, only time will tell, but my money is on "Hell No!"

Then I read "Streetballers is an Irish-Urban drama exploring the lives of two junior-college basketball players...." Needless to say I was forced to watch the trailer after that!T h u r s d a y , A u g u s t 1 3 , 2 0 0 9Live & Direct.

It is big enough to house whale sharks and manta rays, and if you don't know, those are some big ass fish! The music is very calm and relaxing, so sit back, enjoy a nice cup of warm tea, and let your worries melt away thanks to the B.O.P.

Another month means another 1st Thursday out here in Portland, Oregon. Our two favorite clothing store/art gallery/sneaker boutiques, Hecklewood & Compound, both located just off Couch Street in the Pearl District, normally feature some awesome art shows spanning a vast array of categories. (Sometimes the shows suck too.) Unfortunately, Hecklewood was forced to take the month off after a last-minute cancellation from UNKL. Whoops.
Down at Compound, as you of course read below, the theme of the month is “Survival Drive,” depicting the works created by two artists after their 131 day, 34,033km journey throughout Japan.
World’s worst doorman…
GREAT show. The details, abstract nature and opposite yet somehow cohesive mediums of paint and photography were very impressive. Artwork will be on display all weekend.
Down at Compound, close to every Sole Collector shoe we’ve ever done is on display…
This tee has a ton of boxes on the front. Corny enough. The real question is how in demand are sz. 12.5 Terminator High Premiums? (In the black box. Of course.) Apparently NINE PAIRS amongst a “collection” of 40 boxes is what the kids are into these days.
Making It Rain Since 1995. Relying on outdated graphics since 2005.
And the KING of them all.
The Chuckster.
In a CB Military Jacket. With epaulets. Instructed to make “Power Moves.”
