Get Up and Get Down

Come down to Shine in Gastown tonight for the Four Year Anniversary for Get up Get down.

Finale is sponsoring, come down for giveaways.

Wallabees

Since Vince was talking about Wallabees, I wanna drop this clarification.

Back in day about 1957 - 87 Clarks owned a company in Ireland named Padmore and Barnes, and out of this factory came the wallabees. Eventually, Padmore and Barnes had a management buy out and now most wallabees are made out of Asia.

If you are a real gear head you will only want to own the Padmore and Barnes wallabees, and not the Asia joints, its like having OGs versus reissues. Look on ebay for the Padmore and Barnes joints, they come up once and a while. I got a pair handed down from my dad. Nice taste pa!!!

Supreme, Paul Smith and Ships did their collaboration with Padmore and Barnes.

Tidbit I just stole from the web.
The recently released Nike HTM Zoom Macropus pays tribute to the Wallabee in both name and form. The macropus is the genus of the members of the macropodidae family, which includes kangaroos and of course, wallabies.

Since Matt made a post about socks I thought I would post this old Ghostface TV spot.

Half Socks > No Socks

Here is my new steez. I like the look of no socks when wearing shorts or when you roll up your pants, but without socks your feet and shoes stink and going to people's houses feels weird. Here is the solution, I buy these short, hella thin womens socks from Walmart and fold them at the arch. They are so thin they don't bulk up much and support the arch and feel comfortable.

Now, your feet and shoes don't stink, and when you go to peoples crib you can unroll them and look like a normal citizen.

Lets be real, those no shows still show. This is the FUTURE!!!!!!

Budget GPS

Props to my man Josh from Brknhome on this one. It is easy to get lost when you travel, especially in a city like New York, so many spots to see, so many subway lines etc. If you dont have the iphone or a GPS unit on you, you can do this.

Go to superfuture, google maps, transit websites and either save the image and upload them to your memory card on your camera or take a picture of the screen. This way, you have a map on your digital camera any time you need one. You can zoom in on the image and see a perfect amount of detail. This saved us from getting lost so many times, its great.

Do it, and impress your female friends. So smart.
