Thanks to Mr Flynn from Super 7. They were in charge of this big vinyl project. Being associated with the brand that changed everything seems like a challenge. These Jordans are size 7.5!
Mirrored heel, that's what people would be eyeing, when I'm at the crest of my windmill 360. But these are 7.5, lucky for the fools on the courts.
The starting 5 figures, I like the blue. If you can customize, go...
Went to the Mos Def show last night. Didn’t think I would get in because tickets were sold out but on a whim, I walked all the way across town to the Highline Ballroom in Chelsea by myself to try my luck. The effort of walking all that way gave me good karma and I got in. He sang Poison by Bel Biv Davoe and Time After Time as well as some Stevie Wonder. Q-tip from Tribe Called Quest went up and did Bonita Applebum on the spot. The band was pretty tight with their horn section that Mos conducted whenever he felt inspired. For the encore, Talib Kweli came out to do some Blackstar stuff. Interesting non-hip hop feel for a hip hop show. Today I went with my friend Dan upstate to check out the Dia Museum in Beacon, about an hour and a half up the Metro North. The building was an old cardboard printing factory that has been converted into this awesome space. It is very reminiscant of Beijing’s 798 DaShanZi. Sorry no pictures of the space because I could only get pictures where the cctv’s couldn’t see me. I’m too old to get kicked out of places now.I think I liked the space more than most of the art. There were some cool drawings by Sol LeWitt who was I.M. Pei’s draftsman. Only a dfatsman could make those drawing. The Richard Serra sculptures were nice. They may be trite and simplistic to some but I think they are pretty cool. They feel nice and are fun.I heard one guy has died and a couple others severely injured while installing these massive sheets of steel.I thought this was the coolest thing I saw and it was naturally made. A shadow on the scuplture made a nice synergy of the space and the piece.

After receiving the two song files by Jason Shiga, I’ve been a bit obsessed. The man is a genius for sure if you know his comics and now he raps. On his myspace page, someone commented with this image, and it looks like a great time. So the question: WHO is the dude with the videocamera on the left? Where is this footage? Help?! The first time I met the man, I think it was at Wondercon, he rode up on one of the most beat up bikes I’ve ever seen, his hair was a mess, he stepped in gum and it took him 20 minutes to get it off, and then he stumbled around trying to walk 10 feet. That was ages ago, and now, he’s amazing. Not everyone can decide to do rap, and I’m not saying he’s great at it, but knowing him, his style, and his personality, I never thought he’d do this, but he did. I couldn’t do this on my best day.
