I heart Grace Jones

Sometimes, there are releases that are SO exclusive and SO hard to come by, that they aren't even reported on, let alone picked up by "tastemaker" radar. Well ladies and gents, this is one of those. The uber, crazy limited, tier negative fifty, mega-super quickstrike Speak Easy pin. Produced in limited numbers, if you weren't at the show then you definitely missed out. Feast your eyes kiddies...

Part Deux......

At first it wasn't going to happen. Not enough time. People weren't ready. But in the end, Speak Easy v.2 DID happen and it went off without a hitch. Obviously, downtown San Diego is a buzz during the weekend hosting the ASR/Agenda conventions, with after parties galore and business being handled at every which corner. But behind the frosted glass on 9th St. is where it was at-- well at least for us. Congrats to everyone involved and Thank Yous are in order to everyone that came by and/or helped. Me being the dumbass that I am, only took pics on the last day, as I was way too preoccupied with dicking around the first two days of the show (Sales? What's that??). Good times for everyone. Be on the look out for the super, uber limited edition, tier -5, hyper quick strike Grace Jones Speak Easy pin-- pics coming soon!

At this point, we were all hungry and tired (definitely NOT thirsty) and wanted to get going to dinner and onto the after party... Which is EXACTLY what we did.... look down for party coverage....

After the party it's the After Party and.... (sorry that was gay)

So after multiple PBR's and Sapporo's and dicking around, stomachs were definitely NOT happy. We trekked it down a couple of blocks to Basic, where quite possibly, I had, hands down, the best pizza I've ever had in my life! Although, there aren't pics, and it may sound funny, but mashed potato pizza is only the best thing ever! If you're in the area, definitely try to make it over to Basic on the corner of 10th and J street and thank me later. But enough about food-- we'll leave that one to Rickey. It was all about the after party and everyone that was able to tough it out the whole ASR/Agenda weekend, made it out in full force. The place got packed pretty quick and entrance to the venue bottle-necked as presumed. Even the pre-requisite drunk altercation took place later in the evening. Nothing caps off an event like a drunken mishap. Now onto the party pics!

Sooo good....




Sal, Yukio, and the man of the hour- Alyasha

An awesome moment-- because of said altercation earlier, security would not let anyone in or out-- for NO damn reason! Here's Eric displaying his disappointment with the situation with a kook bouncer-- classic!




Finally stepping outside, I run into Mr. Jon Phenom and Rickey

Flo doing his best holler...

Thirty Three and a Third....

After some waiting, the good folks over at House33 (Whats up Mason!) finally sent over their shipment. Included are some really nice tee's with graphics to match (would you expect anything less from House?) and a collaboration with one of the OG's of American workwear--Pointer Brand-- they're a fourth generation family-owned mill from Bristol, Tennessee, that has been making jeans and workwear for nearly four centuries! Talk about doing things right! Peep the pics...
