I can’t even imagine the bureaucratic nightmare it must’ve been to lock down those licensing rights.

CRAZY RAY.
Back in the day, we were THIS close to making an “Everybody Loves Ray” t-shirt. Because, really, everybody loves Ray.
Check out his blog Nebol, or as I like to call it, Crazy Steez Yo. Oh and he (along with Denis) also runs this brand you may have heard of called Mighty Healthy.

BREADBREAKERS
#food, #Los Angeles, #RSWD
Only Marlon (Sneaktip) would think up a BBQ in our back alley at 5pm on a Wednesday afternoon. Giving back to the community. With extra sauce.
Sal (SLB) rode up, with unlimited talk about his limited edition SE.
Networking.
Big Bert’s girls love Big Bert’s curls.
DUSTIN HOFFMAN WAS IN OUR STORE. Along with the floating yellow arrow that followed him wherever he went.
At our very first tradeshow, we were side-by-side with Andres and Dee (Five Four). They eventually went on to take over the fashion world, throw lavish parties, and hang out with celebrities, while we chose the whole alley barbecue thing. But our roads converged at Tere’s Mexican Grill on Melrose tonight, where we discussed everything from streeetwear’s “breakdance bubble” to Andres’ questionable “tie.”

USUGROWN
A couple years back, we had a hand in introducing our friend Nobu aka Usugrow into the American art scene through a collaborative, limited, t-shirt and hoody project. Since that time, he’s gone on to do some really amazing things — from t-shirts for Brooklyn Projects and Upper Playground to a joint show with Mike Giant at the much-respected White Walls Gallery in San Francisco. It’s to the point where I can barely get a hold of him these days.
So it was nice to get a package from Nobu that enclosed his recent book, “LOVE HATE FROM JP,” published by Fifty24SF Books. The hardbound book displays some of Usugrow’s greatest art in his signature style.
A nice letter to Ben and I, except for the fact that I have absolutely no clue what it says. Still, cool.
Here are the unique pieces Usugrow contributed to The Hundreds.
You can buy the book HERE.

POSTIN’.
COMING THROUGH.
#faces, #Los Angeles, #RSWD
Pierre André Senizergues (center) is a living legend in the skateboard realm. As the founder and CEO of skateboarding juggernaut Sole Tech, he was the first pro skater to own and run a skate footwear company when he launched Etnies (and eventually eS, Emerica, ThirtyTwo, and Altamont) 20 years ago.
Pierre’s also continuing his trailblazing in a slightly different arena, as Executive Producer of The 11th Hour, the feature film documentary dissecting the world’s environmental breakdown, produced and narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio.
He’s also got his hands in furniture design, with his Skate Study House exhibition currently ongoing in Paris’ Colette. Even Karl Lagerfeld procured some of his art.
Meanwhile, I stayed at home tonight and ate 7 Reese’s peanut butter cups in one sitting. Bet Pierre can’t do THAT.

WHITEOUT.
Mammoth Mountain.
I’ve been coming here since I was 12 years old. It’s actually where I learned how to snowboard. The only thing that’s changed is the ticket prices.
Thanks to Forum / Special Blend for the ride.

FLASHBACK FRIDAY.
I had a pretty good response to the “18 Things” post, so I dug through the archives for some other oldies, but goodies. This was the photoshoot we put together almost 2 years ago for our Summer 2006 range. We didn’t have the resources to bring on models, so we had to use ourselves, but didn’t really want to use.. you know, ourselves.
It’s amazing what you can do with a tripod, Photoshop, and a healthy dose of boredom.
I already know I’m gonna get about 35 emails from all the misreaders about when this stuff drops, or where it’s available, so I’ll just reiterate here. This was from Summer 2006. This is now 2008. Search Ebay or check the vintage rack at The Store on Rosewood.
