Happy birthday to our boy, JB (MTRLSTC) who's been with us since day one. When he's not on Serato, riding the streets of LA on his fixie, running his blog and online store, being the third man at RIF.LA, designing skate decks, or graphically enhancing photos as if KAWS messed with it, he's out posting CA stickers wherever he can. Happy 25th, meng.

A year ago, the CA crew lost one of its original members, Fedy. Though Filipino tradition had us celebrating his life with a family brunch, Kim and I wanted to do something a little different. I've had two t-shirt concepts in my mind for a long time. One was to put "S Greenwood" across a shirt to represent the street that we all hang at. The second was to put "Forever Young" because, hey, I haven't really grown up. But as Fedy's one year approached, I thought it would be better as a combination. You see, Fedy was like a big kid. If you saw his room, he had tons of collectible toys. From Transformers to Mr Potato Head, from Street Fighter to Star Wars. He was well equipped with every game console known to man. And whenever we were there, we felt like big kids, too. When it was dark, we'd bring out the lightsabers and fight in the front lawn. On some nights, we'd put an entire package of mentos in a 2 liter Diet Coke and watch it explode. So it only made sense to put the ideas together.As a Chicharon Adventures tribute, we made team shirts with a photo of Fedy doing a hand plant in front of the S Greenwood stoop circa 1989. We handed them out earlier this week, and we all wore them this morning.
Ash grey was the standard color but some of us wanted to get an extra one with a color we wanted. Here's how the variation went.
This was a really important project for us and we want to throw a little thank you to Sunday Print Co and gek for understanding just how important it truly was.
