The Retrospective

It’s Wednesday night, and while my Sociology final kept me from the M.I.A. concert, I know of a very very hot afterparty going on.  Wait, hot party on Wednesday?  Thanks to Rchrd Oh?!, Sleazemore, and the ever-so-lovely Parker Day, you had better fucking believe it.  The trio, who are also responsible for the hot and […]

Take Buenos Aires and stick it in Oakland. You know, like what Shawn Reynaldo (aka Disco Shawn) and Gavin Burnett (aka ORO11) did after meeting on the Buenos Aires DJ circuit through mutual friends in late 2006. We should thank these guys for bringing cumbia to the Bay Area in a way that no one […]

I ran into this dapper chap while on my way home from a long night of shooting. I’m disappointed that I didn’t get a full shot of his suit, but his look just oozed with cool. The James Dean hair style coupled with the jet black sunglasses is a great touch.

Nothing like  beautiful stylish Parisian women brandishing even equally lovely guitars to start off a Saturday night. Hailing from Paris, France, the Plastiscines dazzled the crowd with their Ramones-esq style of punk rock. Their live show really won me over; they were fast, energetic, and just brought it hard. Oh and please let me geek out […]

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.

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 […]

Last week I escaped the harsh New England weather of Boston and gladly traded it in for sunny California. While I was visiting Gitamba in the Bay Area, I had the opportunity to see the sights and meet new people. But, being the self-proclaimed foodie that I am, it was only natural that some of […]

They waited up to 4 hours for The Hundreds‘ new store in San Francisco on Post St. The turnout exemplified the dedicated support that the Los Angeles brand has built over the last few years. Patrons from all over the bay area lined up despite the slow moving procession and late opening. Passersby were more […]

After the hoopla over at The Hundreds store Alicia and I headed over HUF to check out how the guys there were doing. As usual the selection of gear from HUF was up to par (I still don’t know which pair of sneakers I want to pick up). Mega (Blackscale/HUF) was grindin’ as usual as […]

Sometimes you just get so busy you forget that there’s a lot of cool stuff in your backyard (bear with me). I think I’ve already mentioned that I’m not a morning person and today is no exception. I had an 8:30am class that requires me to be out the door by 7:30am in order to […]
