do you know Donald Glover?

If you don't, go to his website and do some research! http://www.iamdonald.com/ He is comic gold with talent that has nowhere to go but up.

His roots lie with Derrick Comedy but he has writing credit on 30 Rock, continues to perform with the Upright Citizens Brigade and has an outstanding role on NBC's Community. If that wasn't enough, you can catch him doing rap shows as Childish Gambino. He recently released the Culdesac tape under the Gambino moniker. You can download it for free at his site or here . Look out for all the crazy punchlines and shoutouts to Tina Fey!

Did I mention there was a public outcry to see him become the next Spiderman (this should of fucking happened)? Of course that all took place across the blog and twittersphere. Catch his Tweets here @mrdonaldglover

Maybe posting from phones will keep this place updated?

(Note: Highly unlikely.)

Here's a shot from last week. Of the best shoes I saw in New York. (It's a test, so don't expect anything exclusive.)

Shwood Visit.

W e d n e s d a y , M a y 1 2 , 2 0 1 0

Yesterday, Ira and I took a visit out to the Shwood offices and workshop to catch up with Portland's own emerging eyewear company.

You may have seen pieces from their handmade wooden eyewear collection in stores like Commonwealth, Union, and of course, Compound, as the brand is just beginning to take off.



We couldn't photograph too much during our tour of the workshop, as there's definitely a skill and process to protect, but we were able to snap a look at this awesome fish piece. Shcales, an 11-foot salmon, is made mostly of recycled eyewear materials. Rather than toss aside excess pieces from production, there's all kinds of recycled art and sculptures around the offices.





Stay tuned...

Sunny San Diego.

T u e s d a y , M a y 1 1 , 2 0 1 0

Last weekend, Zac and I spent a few days down in sunny San Diego.

The best city in the country.

While we're normally in town to catch up with Pony, there's also some added fun in store since my brother is a scholar at SDSU and we can crash at his place. Pony's global headquarters also are conveniently located in the heart of the Gaslamp District. Pretty convenient.



We spent all day Friday checking out the upcoming line with a tour courtesy of Captain Colin, and even saw some promo highlights from awhile ago. SEXY.



Before our flight out on Saturday, Colin set us up for a decently fun morning.



Unreal machines.


My brother and our friend Bill took this one out.






And Zac and I got to give this Maserati a run.






There's really not a more humbling experience than to spend some time around some truly awesome performance machines that are in a whole 'nother stratosphere of reality.

When you consider that 80% of the people that purchase there simply write a single check....I'll just keep dreaming.

Fortitude.

M o n d a y , M a y 1 0 , 2 0 1 0

Here's a look at a new model from adidas Originals: the Fortitude Mid.

Available at adi OG accounts this month, it's a nice new direction for the category. I could've done without the silver badging along the ankle -- there's already four hits of branding on the upper -- but nonetheless it's a sweet new silhouette that's damn comfy.

I self lord and master shall bring disaster to evil factors
demonic chapters, shall be captured by kings
Through the storms of days after
unto the earth from the sun through triple darkness to blast ya
with a force that cant be compared
to any fire power, for its mind power shared
the brainwave causes vessels to circulate
like constellations reflect at night off the lake
word to the father, and mother earth
seeking everlasting life through this hell for what its worth
look listen and observe
and watch another c-cypher pullin my peeps to the curb
heed the words, its like ghetto style proverbs
the righteous man sacrifice to get what they deserve
cannot afford to be confined to a cell
brainwaves swell, turning a desert to a well
experience the best teacher, thoughts will spray
like streetsweepers little daddy street preacher
illustrious feature, narrator you select
accompanied by Deck plus the DJ you respect
the seven and a half combine, over the frontline
the ten percenters promotin slander in the airtime
bear in mind jewels be the tools of the trade
sharp blades heavenly praise and dues are paid

Above the crowds, above the clouds where the sounds are original
infinite skills create miracles
warrior spiritual -- Above the clouds
raining down
Holdin it down
