PARTY MONSTER!

Here’s all you need to know about me… I would rather nerd out than freak out. I have done both. Nerding out is more rewarding for me and less embarrassing, which is a reward in itself. Nerding out is comfortable and calm, even when the scene appears chaotic.

I left my day job too late to do everything on my “Wednesday is the new Fr’aturday” list. No Vibe Mag JAMIE FOXX party and no beer pong with B Real from Cypress Hills. I need to apologize to NoHa from DuckDown for holding me down on that joint. Yo Noha, the next event you have (preferably with Sean P or Kidz-N-The Hall) is all me fam.

I did make it to Niketown for their Playmakers holiday event. The party was hosted by Miss Info who is always on some fresh to def shit. I peeped the 18k gold cap she had on her pre-molar tooth. That shit is so classic ‘hood that 99% of the people don’t even know what they are looking at. I know though, because I am an old motherfucker. I’m just thankful that these young kids on the scene fucks with me.

The kids still fucks with Clark Kent too and that is because he has more kicks than they will ever own. Clark gives away more sneakers than they will ever own. I fucks with Clark too even though he can be a little like Ernie P sometimes when he is discussing some shit he doesn’t fucks with too tough. Clark don’t like these blogs too much and I can’t blame him since most bloggers never come up from their parent’s basements.

I came up from my parent’s basement though and I hung the fuck out. Peace to 40 Diesel from Mighty Healthy. Peace to Joey2fresh who was taking pictures all over the place. Shout to the homey J-Rod as well as DJ Ko who goes in to all the fly shit. Do y’all want some more? Okayplayer holiday party 2nite featuring the Roots and friends.

Challah for Chanukah and the Challadays bitches.

BLU CHEEZ TV x Premium Laces…

During the Sneaker Fiends Unite NYC Tour we visited a shop in lower Manhattan owned by a fellow sneaker fiend.

PETE owns Premium Laces in SoHo.

His passion for collecting is what makes his shop a special place for the rest of us sneaker heads. It isn’t simply the exclusive products that the store carries but the ideal that this hobby should be accessible AND affordable.

Pete was kind enough to take the time out from serving customers to politic with me about all things sneaker related.

My homey JUSTICE HALL has made the illest Pro-bama t-shirt since that Mighty Healthy joint dropped. This one is gonna kill the streets pre-inauguration.

Extra points for whoever rocks this shirt with shelltoes and a leather V-goose.

The Association @ ESPN Zone

obama kicks

A change is gonna come to how broke azz mofo’s like myself watch NBA basketball. I still don’t have cable service in my apartment so I have to go out to watch NAB games. This might mean watching NBA Ticket at my favorite bulletproof fried chicken Chinese restaurant or, when I have even less money I go to ESPN Zone.

I know what you are thinking right now. How the fuck can I go to ESPN Zone to watch a ballgame [ll] when I have even less money than is required to buy a five dollar try of chicken and fried rice? Firstly, I bring my own food and drinks. Secondly, I sit in one of the bathroom stalls at ESPN Zone that have their own personal screens telecasting the games.

I find this the most comfortable and efficient way to enjoy NBA basketball. Sheeeeeit, any sporting event for that matter. I get the quality programming of an ESPN broadcast, my own choice of refreshments and the ability to engage in one of my favorite pastimes – dropping a deuce. Puns are always intended here at DP Dot Com and this arrangement I use at ESPN Zone is a win-win for me no matter the outcome of the contests.
