DP’s College Music Journal Itinerary…

October 21st, 2008

DeCon

This is one of the craziest weeks in NYC’s entertainment industry. This is the time when the College Media Journal Music Marathon hits the town. Hundreds of bands perform in hundreds of venues across the city. If you love music then you need to be here in New York City.

I love free booze.

And free tchotchkes a/k/a SCHWAG bitches.

Depending how hard I go in [ll], I could have myself a month’s worth of free t-shirts.

Speaking of free shit…

Shout out to AMADEO SOGNI, LION XL, ADB and JERSEY TIEJ. You all are getting DP Dot Com x SONY x Staple gift packs thanks to your generous donations to the PrA’li movement.

Miles To Go, But Still No Dough…

October 20th, 2008

The ripples caused by our flailing banking system are continuing to drown other sectors of the economy as well.

People that have accrued a shitload of frequent flier miles are realizing that they are better off cashing in those miles than holding onto them because airlines have a tendency to go bankrupt. This should cause some airlines to file for Chapter 11 before this fiscal quarter is done when they lose their cash reserves to their customers.

For a minute I just have to step back and give props to the G Dubbz administration for totally making the American economic system fucked the fuck up in less than a decade. If G Dubbz was nothing else he was expeditious.

SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

yeezy

All I want for Christmas are a pair of Air Yeezys.

Cross my heart, I will quit the game if I get these joints.

I was having a sneaker nerd moment with some of my folks from Obsessive Sneaker Disorder and I was insistent that the midsole and cupsole of the Air Yeezys was taken from the retro Air Assault shoe. My peeps are like nahh, the Air Yeezys take the sole off the Jordan III’s.

I’ma let y’all decide…

And don’t front on tuning into Obsessive Sneaker Disorder’s talk show where we debate, commiserate, eviscerate and talk about everything great in the world of sneakers.

Life Imitating Art In The Worst Way…

no country

Mexican drug dealers are pretty bad ass. We learned this shit from the movie ‘No Country For Old Men’ where we had several scenes of bad ass Mexican drug dealers shooting up shit like there was no tomorrow.

It’s not just gunplay either that makes the Mexican cartels so hardbody. They are types of cats to abduct kids for torture and ransom.

Abducted Nevada boy found alive in Las Vegas

In this downturning economy I can imagine that the Mexican drugdealers will transition their business portfolios to include the more lucrative trade of selling that white…

Children.
