America. For all your misdeeds and misrepresentations. For all your short-sidedness and prejudice. For all your wrong way wars, patriot acts, oil spills, and Arizona. The Co. still loves you. Along with the rest of the hard workin’ folks (”legal and illegal”) that make up this great place we call home. We’ll keep wishing and hoping that some day you’ll realize your full potential…at least before we nuke ourselves.
Craftwork of LA is putting on a great get down with Wolverine for the West Coast debut of their 100o Mile Boot, if you don’t know about this thing check the link! Our good buddy Alyasha will be there to play your favorite tunes that you don’t even know you like yet and our very own SB will be there working on some of the free Belvedere. Sounds like its gonna be a good new ol’ fashion time. See ya there!
Its a little early I know, but with the holidays just around the corner I just wanted to give you fair warning. I haven’t made it down to the Tower in a long while and this is just the type of party to come home to. Live music courtesy of Bomp N’ Stomp Records, classics out in the parking lot courtesy of the Conquistadors CC, all under one beautiful hole in the wall that could only be described as, well…Tower Bar. Mark your calenders now, or risk getting stuck with a lump of coal from Santana Claus. He knows when you’ve been bad or good n’shit.
By now most of you out there that follow The Co. know of our guy, the unofficial mayor of Hong Kong, Brian. One of the 18 jobs Brian and wife Annie hold down is their brand Know1edge. Earlier this year they were nice enough to ask me to get some graphics together for their Fall 09 season. Even got a nice little shout out on Brian’s Hypebeast Blog. These are little sample of what came to be. Go get you some!
Holiday is in stores right now, the new look book will be up on the site in a day or so, and the last of the new product for 2009 will be in the books. We’re definitely ending this year on a high note…those “translations” I told you about a while back turned into some really special. Stay tuned kids!
Still recovering from my best case of jet lag ever. Japan was as cool as you think it is, I’ll have some photos to prove it soon.
On the road again this week, this time in Tokyo. Only my second time out here, but it’s definitely one of my favorite places in the world. As usual, no camera (I’m a genius) but I’ll do my best to tell a good story when it need to be told. Right now the current mood is real Bill Murray. I’m a bit out of my element, but thats why we travel right?
Right now, you could be doing something different with the little time you got.
The homie hip me to this one today. Haven’t made it to Mitsuwa in a while, but I suppose we got a little shine in this months Grind magazine out of Japan. My english sucks and my japanese is nonexistent, so if anyone out there can tell me what this article is talking about that would be awesome.
