Well pop the champagne, get the DJ, and bump some jams! Earlier this month, Glam Media announced it’s acquisition of fellow bay area company, STYLEMOB. In celebration of this new addition, Glam hosted the vibrant party at the Ambassador Lounge in San Francisco.

Touché Mr. West. Every time I think you’re going to throw a left, you hit me with an upper cut! Rick (Team DNGR/Webster Theater), sent me this track in the wee hours of the night. It’s about time Madonna hooked up with Kanye on a track. To me, it sounds like Kanye hasn’t returned from his venture into the electronic world with Daft Punk.

If anyone at Wieden+Kennedy reads this blog (lord knows I read theirs), please pretty please let me sit in on a briefing! I’d love to watch your minds at work as you craft beautiful works like this commercial. I totally geek out for ads like this, not because they’re hocking a product and I love Michael Jordan so don’t get me started, but just look at this commercial! It’s brilliant; they’ve set such a tone for Michael as not only a living legend, but one that’s challenging the rest of us to step up our game. The imagery and the copy is just amazing “maybe it’s my fault” is just such a strong sentiment. Can Michael Jordan really be blamed because you have a whack game on the court? Absolutely not; the man earned and worked for everything and he went on to dominate. We should all do the same everyday. Well played Wieden+Kennedy well played.

What can I say? The BKc has got me hooked. I dropped by the store Saturday to chat it up with Sascha and picked up the BKc denim I’d seen Gabe rocking in a post over at their blog. The jeans are dyed twice which gives them an extra shine and makes them appear to be a different material altogether. I’m also in love with the imagery of their “Defend the BKc” tees that are, in my opinion, really appealing as an overall concept. They are getting ready to set up shop in their new store next month and I’m excited to see what new styles will pop up.

Super 7 is a wonderful little boutique located in Japantown in San Francisco. At the intersection of Post and Laguna it caters to the inner toy lover in all of us. It’s actually one of two stores founded by Japanese toy fanatic Brian Flynn (Super7/Hybrid Design). My friend Shannell and I went there over the weekend because I was lusting after a toy I hadn’t seen since I was a kid. I grew up watching a bunch of anime dubbed into French and when it comes to giant robots my all time favorite is Goldorak (UFO Robo Grendizer in Japanese). Vinyl toys from various eras of Japanese television were sprawled out all over the store along with some new custom toys designed by the staff of Super 7. Ghostland toys have a really cool concept, the creatures take on ghoulish forms as reminders of whatever killed them in their past lives. Besides toys, Super7 has collectible books and brightly colored lithorgraps by owners Brian and his wife Dora.

I thought I’d kill two birds with one massive digital stone in this post. As powerful as the Internet is, it’s also the number one way to waste hours of your life. Hulu is just that a wonderful distraction, but so much more. Released earlier this year the people over at Hulu have contracts with almost all of the major networks and deliver high quality streaming videos of not only current shows but a vaults-worth of past ones too.
I think that the best part of Hulu is that I am able to watch old shows that were cancelled like “The Invisible Man” or shows I missed while they were on-air like Fox’s “New Amsterdam”. The shows have little indicators that tell you when a commercial is going to air and a time marker that tells you how long it will be (usually 15 to 30 seconds). In my opinion, one of the smartest, funniest, and downright best shows ever written is “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.” The show centers around a group of friends who run a hole-in-the-wall bar in a seedy part of Philadelphia. Written and starring Rob McElhenny, Glenn Howerton, and Charlie Day the show tackles a variety of issues from racism and politics to underage drinking that are wielded together in a mass of twisted humor. The cast is like peanut butter and jelly or bread and butter, they just compliment each other. The addition of Danny DeVito in the second season just upped the hilarity factor. I put a clip up here which is actually another feature of Hulu for you to check out.
