The Melrose expansion continues. Two days ago, the DC Shoes store opened down the street from the aforementioned Burton behemoth. Lo and behold:

Yeah Russ.

Look who’s on deck…

AGAIN.

Well, looks like the weatherman was dead wrong (once again), as we woke up this weekend to blue skies and sunshine. We threw our first annual Holiday Warehouse sale on Saturday and I think a lot of people walked away happy: The dudes who camped out in frigid temperatures on the crackiest street in downtown Los Angeles, the hot girlfriends shopping for their low-life boyfriends who were still in bed at home, the capitalizing bacon-wrapped-hot-dog vendors, even the bored cops who’d much rather watch kids dig through boxes than respond to actual crimes going on in the surrounding neighborhood.

Jimmy sent me this photo of an actual cake that shares a strong resemblance with our “Side Adam Bomb” New Era. Spotted at a mall in Miami.  Next, I’m gonna make a New Era fitted that looks like a cake.  Or not.

Behind-the-scenes-stealers. Abram’s a longtime screenwriter who’s always got a scheme up his sleeve. Zach’s the same crouching photographer in that photo I posted last week.

Speaking of Zach, he’s the one who shot that photo of our childhood friend Doug that was on last season’s OLD’SCOOL t-shirt. The photo was taken back when we were all adolescents and Doug ended up nosesliding right off the ledge onto Zach’s big toe (and subsequent toenail). One of those things that wasn’t really funny at the time, but once the shots came out the darkroom, made for a rather interesting photograph.

Unfortunately, Doug was tragically killed by the police a year ago in an extremely retarded shooting. I’d love to tell the story, except it’ll just ruin your day / week / year / eternity. Let’s just say that it could be the most ridiculous reason a human being’s life has ever been taken. AND THAT’S WHY I LOVE LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT.

Ben vs. Tony vs. Intelligence. Everyone loses!

Mystery TH employee getting chopped, and chopping it up, with our neighbor Helio. Interesting!

I like this guy, but not sure if I’m gonna use him yet. If so, next time you’ll see him is at least one year away. Just in time for critics to deem skulls and bright colors to be really REALLY played out.

You’ve been hearing about it for a while now, but after months of toil, Arsen and Vlad have finally launched the new website for Kendo, their women’s sneaker boutique on Melrose. Peep the active News section, Archive, and did someone say “ONLINE SHOP“?

KENDO-LA.COM.

Not enough parking on Fairfax these days?

The streetwear gods were watching out on this one. Both Reserve and Turntable Lab are chill.

Random optometry spot? Ehhh not so good.

By now, you’re probably familiar with the guys here in the Studio or down at The Store on Rosewood, but The Hundreds’ immediate family actually extends further than that. Although they might not get as much blogtime as the other sideshow clowns here, our warehouse crew is the backbone of our brand. After all, without these guys, our product wouldn’t reach you, our supporters.

Andrew’s never not working.

Junior’s our in-house tattoo artist here at HBS. Drops by a couple times a week to make sure the crew stay happy.

Homemade keeps it fresh.

Just a sample of Junior’s handiwork..

On paper:

You can take ‘em out of jail, but it doesn’t work so easily the other way around.

Anyways, the guys are busy preparing for our annual Holiday Warehouse Sale this Saturday.

Most of you on our mailing list already got the dibs on this one, but I just wanted to let you know that if it RAINS on Saturday, unfortunately we’re gonna have to move the Sale to the next day (Sunday). In any case, check the blog the night before, or the morning of, to confirm what’s going down.

Hopefully we can have a clear Saturday ‘cuz here’s a peek at what’s gonna be up for grabs.

I need to get these guys an in-house dentist.
