THE BIG PILL January 31 2009 Events & Music
They tore it up at Old Towne Pub in the 626 last night. Lucky for you (and me), they are playing again tonight at the same spot. My first dose was an impressive one. And I speak for the rest of the crew.

I went by the Sunday shop today to pick up some sample tees we're running and check out their new equipment. Next month, we're going to do sort of a field trip and spend the day with the guys to understand the whole screenprinting process. Tim explains things to me but it will be different experiencing it in person. Plus, I often get questions from friends who are interested in squeegees, paint, meshpoints, and stencils. Now I'll be able to school 'em.
THE HUSTLER January 28 2009
My dad always shared the story of his hard knock life. He was raised on the outskirts of Manila, where he had to climb trees for food or toss coins in a bucket for a bag of popcorn. When he was punished by my grandma, he had to kneel in the dirt with thousands of red ants. He ran the streets and also a pool hall that his best friend's family owned. By day, he was earning money folding clothes. By night, he was hustling the veteranos. But when he came here, he left that life behind him, and his favorite games easily turned into football, basketball, and poker.The other day, I invited him to hang out with the crew for beers and pool. It was silly of me to believe that his skill was left behind, too. He totally kicked all of our asses.
RECEIVED January 28 2009
Kim just got her IDs from Nike (aka China). I'm really feelin' the gum sole. The premium dunk, named "EST 1983", is in full grain leather with a silver metallic secondary, and boasts a primary colorway of black and teal. She's off to Manila today for a two and a half week trip of island hopping, shopping, and expanding CA. She won't be wearing these for a while.
I just tracked my package. Does anyone know what adverse weather conditions we should be getting today? Sucks.
