June 2008
A Party for No Damn Reason: Basically Get Loose Crew repped harder than Oakley and Jager combined.
Just some randomness:
Type Pad Seating
This one goes out to Milty. He asked me if I had this song on my iTunes about a month ago, and I was proud to say I did. Goodbye techno dance parties, hello 90’s Alt. Rock ragers!
Song of the Day

F*ck Gas
I drove all the way to Va Beach this weekend for a party, used about 3/4 of a tank. Usually I can fill up and it will last me two weeks.
But gas prices hit an all time high this weekend. The national average price for a gallon of gas rises to $4.086, with 33 states paying more than $4 a gallon.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — Retail gas prices rose to a new record high overnight while diesel...

Drumming on “Dope Boys” w/ The Game
Welcome back Kevin Hennessey, get ready for the weekend. Also, pictures from this weekend’s events coming soon.
SONG OF THE DAY
Today’s song is about DANGER! Not the type of danger that you feel when walking alone in Bushwick with a macbook pro in your backpack. Or the danger you feel when you’ve woken up and your alarm didnt go off to go to work. Nope. Not even the danger you feel when your buddy has an ominous smile on his face, and he just so happens to be notorious for silent deadly gases. I’m...

Popptags
Chewy told me about this mom at work that started this small company called Popptags that simply make these witty wine gift/cards that anyone can use when they go to Kroger and get a $10 bottle that they know nothing about. She currently works at The Martin Agency and Chewy has a crush on her.
Bartender of the Year: Matt Teal (Ipanema)
No question about it. Smooth moves, professional mindset, flawless performance, all without a bit of hesitation.
Drunk of the Month (June)
This is Milty’s Second title. Billy was a close runner up, and I’m sure everyone expected him to win, but when I saw this kid down a 22oz Budweiser for breakfast, I knew who really wanted it. Congratulations!
Tattoo of the Year
Props to Saved Tattoo, Brooklyn, NYC
Fantastic Planet 06.26.08
Last night, was of course, a banger. The only thing missing was mad shorty’s outside waiting to take booty pictures with us sexy dudes.
These arrived about two weeks ago, just in time for summer. If you want one, lemme’ know, $3.
Two business card designs we did recently:
Best Design Blogs
While sitting in the back seat of Butlers whip last night around midnight on our way to Wal-Mart to buy a cable that never got purchased, Chewy and I were talking about our favorite design blogs. The list ended up going like this:
Coming in at first is FFFFound.com I wouldn’t call this a blog, more like an image hosting site that is completely full to the brim of images of anything you...
I just bought one of these:
You should too because 100% of the money goes to UNICEF’s Burma fund. It USDA, it’s about $8.50, well worth it because it’s just so cute!

Shadow Puppets!
So this might be old news for a few of you all, but a while ago while Milty, Myself, Butler and Chewy were having a Halo 3 orgy, this happened:
One snipe triple kill from Matthew McDonald on Vimeo.
I think we can all agree that Rizmo has some beautiful hands, which should be in the air tonight if he were in RVA to be at the grand finale of:
Tonight, so be there.
Though I think some of you might hate on Amy Winehouse out there, In my opinion, if it wasn’t for the popularity of her latest album then there wouldn’t be this interest in neo-soul and R&B that is coming out of every corner of the world now. And where better to look for this genre of music and hidden artists but the Big Apple.

CHUCH!!
Just in for all you Richmond kids who think you snowboard. Prospekt Industries are bringing you the gold in Hi-Def. Check the trailer for CHUCH! just dropped on reelcomp.com Richmond, represent. And for those of you out there who have an eye for familiar faces, see if you recognize the dude in the white shirt running during the intro scene.

A flyer I did for Meagan at Freedom Surf Shop in VA Beach. If you’re down there this weekend you should check it out. They are giving away a free pair of Oakley Frogskins every 20 minutes!
Some good work I found online out of all the other good work that is online.
Here is a little hint for the float trip:
Caught Banging Blow Up Doll? - Watch more free videos
Float this shit!
I also hear that Doddie Fresh is spinning on the rocks, and of course, swimming is more fun when you’re drunk.
Song of the Day
Don’t know too much about these people except that they had a song on a VW commercial and they’re from Sweden ( of course). I heard them on the commercial before i actually knew who they were but recently stumbled on them while listening to Pandora. It’s simple melodic folk music that’s good for VW commercials and breezy porch chillers, but they also got a touch of...

Can’t believe these beasts are leaving, and right as the summer takes off too! If every Fantastic Planet keeps getting more and more buck wild, then God knows what this one is going to be like!
Good Ol’ Neo Mountain Music. These guys just came out with their second EP, look them up on the HYPE MACHINE. Most of there stuff is a little slow, like most people who live solo in the mountains in the middle of nowhere, I mean can ya blame em?
Song of the Day

Best classroom in the world:
Butler and Milty have been fuckin’ with this all week. It’s killing me. I remember when I first saw this stand up on Comedy Central about 2 years ago. Eddie Is a god.
Christmas comes but once a year. Ryde till you Dye. Young Money.
And Butler is MC-ing the event. Should be good.
This is why Ward of Chop Suey Books is the Fucking Man! Make sure to check out Books on Wheels as well!
My man Niney. I love this guy. He compiled what in my opinion is one of the best DJ Set compilations ever. He specializes in DJ style reggae, with heavy bass lines giving the singer room to talk over the music rather than really sing. It sounds quite amazing if you ask me, or Drew.

The Boston Pregnancy Pact. Reported today. I want in.
BOSTON - An investigation has been launched into an apparent teenage “pregnancy pact” that has at least 17 high-school girls expecting babies, four times more than last year, including many aged 16 or younger.
A high school health clinic in the city of Gloucester, Mass., became suspicious after seeing a surge in girls seeking...
