something to tide you over

Posts about the lack of posts are popular.

Lemonade was a popular drink and it still is.

Matt's going to New York.

Aug 1st. is coming we're waiting for one more design to be confirmed before we release the line sheets.

FYI I actually design a lot of graphic for girls outside of Finale.

Matt has glasses that steam up.

I go to realtalkny.net a lot for hip hop news.

I'm waiting for the new MacBook Pro.

Like a rhinocerus, my speed is prosperous And pure knowledge expands from my esophagus.

I've always wanted an Nice and Smooth t-shirt.

I spilled half a beer on Matt once and he didn't get mad.

Bikes

So here is another difference between Matt and I.

This is the kind of bike that he's likes:



This is the kind of bike that I like:



Looking at the neon pink of this bike brings me back. I used to collect mad issues of BMX Plus and I must have watched Rad countless times, I know all the lines to the movie.



I don't know anything about road/fixed/track bikes. I did work at a place that designed bike jerseys for 5 years. I actually got to design a a few jerseys for bigger companies like Maxxis, Rocky Mountain, and Cat Eye. I did learn to appreciate all aspects of bike culture through working there. I would never wear spandex gear but I sure did design a lot of it.

So Matt is in the market for a road bike. Someone hook him up with a good deal or some carbon rims or something like that. Or send us some pics of hot girls on bikes, either or. Matt will love looking at the pics while he's surfing the net in his Wes Anderson looking suit.

Oh yeah this is my holy grail bike, the Gold Haro Master from 93.



If you have a Haro that you don't want hollar at me.

A Month of Weddings






It seems July has been a month of weddings. My man El Gato from Chinatown Soccer Club and Psyop (www.psyop.tv) got married just north of Sechelt and we had a wicked time. Great chance to hang with old friends, get drunk and make some new friends, a crew of 40 came from NY. Some real cool people that came from NY.

Yesterday my man Ryan from EA sports, Sole Searching Crew got married and we had another wicked time. Chilled with some good people, danced a storm and had a great time.

I am running out of money, and formal attire. This is getting tough.

Rebuttal

First off, the stabs Vince bought are wack.

Second, I used to be really into kicks. I had an old school geocities site that had a definition of sneaker terms and pictures of all my shoes. I wonder if I can find that stuff on my hard drive. I still wear kicks, I love my infared 90s, AM1s and ACGs.

Third, I moved vancouverslop.blogspot.com to http://www.vancouverslop.com and my eating buddy Josh from Brknhome has made his first post on there. My boy Rim from the street wear line Humongous has moved his blog to http://www.torontoslop.com.

I wear V necks.

Shoes

A long time ago Matt used to be into shoes. Now he's a jaded dude that wears non nondescript kicks all the time with no socks.

I was never too heavy into kicks. Matt actually made fun of these Stabs I got a little while back. Yeah I like bright colors. I actually wear a lot of plain kicks these days too. I have about 6 pairs of Vans Era's that I wear on the regular.

I've been paying more attention to shoes lately. With the onset of love for high end sneakers like Lanvin's, Common Projects and etc. With Nike coming out with new technology like the lunar foam and the flywire. I'm starting to get interested in kicks again. I know it's not very cool and the Hyperdunks don't look very good with New Standards. I like innovation.

My friend Rich just started a blog on sneakers with a slant on innovation, peep it here: sneakerpedia

There was always a sneaker themed shirt for every season of Finale. We skipped it for Fall 07 and we skipped the entire Spring 08 season altogether. But for Fall 08 we got another one coming.

Here's a sneak peak of it:



Yes it's colorful, yes it's a sneaker shirt.

Don't worry for all you cool guys I'll post a picture of a plain white American Apparel V-neck (which fits wack by the way, H&M and Uniqlo got the dope v-necks) for you next week to drool over.
