Fast Friday

Had our own little version of Fast Friday, riding up to Ballard after work for a Midnight Cuban Sandwich at Paseo (R.I.P. Gordo's). Then hung out at Golden Gardens and enjoyed the sunset. It's amazing how long a group of guys can entertain themselves by throwing rocks at beer cans.

MM x RPS Photoshoot

Since 1999, Seattle's Massive Monkees have been killing it on the bboy scene, performing around the world and ultimately winning the World Championship in London 2004. Not just a crew of dancers, they are comprised of artists, designers, musicians and teachers, spreading their positive message around the globe.

So it only made sense for us to get together to create something for their 10 year anniversary and show our support.

We held a small photoshoot last Friday with most of the crew at the shop to help promote the tees that we collaborated on and their 10 year anniversary event coming up in May.




Thanks to Rathy for documenting the behind the scenes stuff.

Opening Day

The sun came out for opening day at The Safe, and The Kid hit a single in his first at bat. Hopefully Spring decides to stick around.

Danimal

The man who took me on my first ever business trip was back in town from his family farm in Ohio for a few days. A few of us from HA went out to catch up and have a few drinks. I can still remember Dan and I sitting out in the Oakland, CA sun eating a pastrami sandwich and talking about quality deli meats.

Weekend Shows

Friday night Joe and I attended a fashion show by the Northwest Film Forum, Blackbird, Rue, La Rousse and Lambs Ear at Pravda Studio—which is a great venue for parties by the way. It was kind of amazing to see an actual catwalk, with actual models walking up and down the runway, and people applauding at the exceptional attire the models were wearing, in Seattle! The location, the people, the clothes, the music, all made me feel like I was in another city.

Please forgive the crappy iPhone pics, but I didn't have my camera (which I now regret)!




Saturday I went to an art opening at the Wonderful Union Gallery featuring art by Don and Ryan Clark of Invisible Creature. They created a collection of fantastic Mid-Century Modern inspired illustrated prints juxtaposed with the realities of domestic life. Definitely drop by the gallery to see some really great work.

I'm really glad to see events of this sort of scale and focus happening in Seattle. The aforementioned boutiques and Demetre and Greg are doing something really great for the local fashion and art/design community respectively.
