New Balance

The Metzgers — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 16:13:28 +0000

When I’m not able to ride my bike in certain mountains and on certain trails I come back and run the trail. It allows me to explore places that I couldn’t see on my mountain bike. I got a pair of New Balance MT-800’s and I was sort of stunned to see that the shoe was made in the USA. I try to buy products that are manufactured in the USA as much as possible (it’s not a pride thing, it’s a environmental and economic thing). I was pleasantly surprised cause I just assumed all shoes/sneakers were made overseas. I did a little more digging on New Balance and found a video that talks about this as well.

Besides the Made in the USA tag the shoes perform amazing but this isn’t the place to talk about that. Overall, good design.

(edit: I know some of the materials come from overseas)

Happy Anniversary!

MASH-SF — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 00:19:26 +0000

One year ago today was Mike’s wedding. His wedding was great and very heartfelt! It was in the middle of all the Mash premiers and I was surprised that he was able to hold it all together. A year goes by fast. I am glad we have became friends over the years! It was a pleasure working with you, on Mash, and celebrating your wedding together. Happy anniversary Mike and Michele!

I have this additional Mexico City piece that I had started for my Culver City show but didn’t finish it in time, it was never exhibited. It’s another of my skyline style pieces.

This new print is available from Arkitip today.

Backspins in Duesseldorf

Chinatown Soccer Club — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 16:05:56 +0000

New York (Chinatown Newswire) — Thanks to the unblinking eye of Justin “Crazy Legs” Fines, the Newswire proudly presents a sequence (see below) of Dan “The Danimal” Funderburgh’s impromptu breakdancing performance on the shiny marble floor at Duesseldorf International Airport.

Most readers of the Newswire will recall that the CSC delegation got stranded in the German city for several hours both on its way to and from Vienna, courtesy of the incompetent hacks at Air Berlin.
