Last Night Was Interesting
I went to go see Tristan’s band play but we showed up too late so we saw a band full of 40 year olds (Psychic Revolution) tear Ravari Room to shreds.
We saw and got autographs from Tokio Hotel.
And we danced at Sloopy’s (formerly known as Miani’s). It’s the trashiest bar I’ve ever been to and I wouldn’t recommend anyone going there without a crustache.
Movie Night?
It’s been a few months and I think we need to bring back movie night. If we can’t do it every week maybe we can do it every other week or something. I think the next movie we watch should be Milk. I know it’s not in the theatres yet but you leave that up to The Grip. I’ll talk to Jimmy & Co. and see what we can work out. Let me know who is in.
PJ Ladd vs. Andrew Reynolds in SKATE
If you aren’t familiar with the skateboarding world these are basically 2 of the best out.
Thanks to Pete for the video.
Why Soccer Fans Are The Best Fans In The World
Can you imagine what it would be like if this happened at a Cavs game? What about a Lakers game? All the A/B/C/D list celebs who paid thousands of dollars for their seats going crazy when their team’s song came on. I can’t even comprehend how Kobe and LeBron would react to that type of energy on their home court.
Wishful thinking, I know.

Mustard Pimp – Rer D (Adulture Remix)
Brand new Adulture track hot off the mixers. Don’t forget they are opening for Diplo in April. That show is going to be insane. Give this track a minute or two to build. It’s worth it.

2009 Columbus Bike to Work Week May 11th – 15th
I’ve been riding my bike to work all winter and it’s time for some sunshine.
Here is the official site (finished version coming soon). Thanks to Lindsay for the link!
Pillow Talk Releases First Album
So I’ve been checking their website for the past few months and it seems that the 7″ is finally being released on Columbus Discount Records. I got an e-mail from *****7*@gmail.com with one track attached and no message. I don’t know who that is or why I got it and I don’t really know much about the band but supposedly they will be opening the Diplo show with Adulture.
I dug around Google a little bit and the only reviews I could find called it “stabbing music.” For real? Can’t wait till I get my hands on this one.
What $46,000 in Beer Cans Looks Like
A single guy lived in this townhouse for 8 years in Ogden, Utah. The landlord thought he was the best tenant ever because he never called or complained and was never late on a payment!
Century 21 Realty had already moved some of the cans out, and they had caved in the tunnels that the renter had made to get to the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. All this, yet you still do not see any dust, scattered clothing, or dirty dishes anywhere?
Other than having a minor drinking problem, he was basically a very clean, organized person. Add to this, the fact that he was concerned about his health, proven by the fact that he drank ‘Light’ beer.
Beer cans by the tens of thousands – mountains of cans burying the furniture. The water and heat were shut off, apparently on purpose by the tenant, who evidently drank Coors Light beer exclusively for the eight years he lived there.
There was an estimated 70,000 beer cans in the townhouse. To accumulate that amount of cans, the resident must have consumed an average of 24 beers a day for the 8 years of his tenancy! ($16 x 365 days x 8 years = $46,720)
Aluminum scrap value estimated around $2,000.
Ripper, Dipper, Shredder, or Thrasher?
My dad has become one of the millions of old people to join Facebook and all his friends are uploading pictures from their college days. This phenomenon has led me to screen the content I upload to my page. One of my dad’s good friends talked to me the other day and said, “I didn’t realize you were such a party animal!” Looks like I need to make some cutbacks with The Grip Cam.
Anyone else ever see pictures of their parents like this? I always pictured my dad being incredibly responsible, financially stable, and most of all clean cut. These photos
These pictures look like they are straight out of Dogtown.
Better Than Ice Cream, Vol. 7 by Wes K.
I’m sure that everyone is familiar with Roman Polanski. If you’re not, allow me to get you somewhat up to speed. Roman Polanski is an Academy Award winning director, writer and producer. He is currently not allowed to return to the United States due to the fact that he had a supposed relationship with a minor back in 1978. Now he splits his time between France and his native Poland, where he wont be extradited to the US, and continues his life’s work. He married a French model and actress named Emmanuelle Seigner in 1988. They now live in France with their two children. She recently joined Ultra Orange, which has renamed themselves Ultra Orange & Emmanuelle. Their song titled “Don’t Kiss Me Goodbye” is featured in the film The Diving Bell And The Butterfly in which she also plays a major role. Now, my intention was not to overshadow the music of Ultra Orange with the history of one band member. I just thought it was interesting. It actually is a solid album all the way through, give it a listen. The tracks below contain the one from the film, and another from their self titled album.
P.S. The movie is pretty good, I suggest everyone taking a look if you haven’t already. Plus, read up on Roman, he’s had a pretty crazy life. Including but not limited to the fact that his ex wife was murdered by the Manson family.

Colin Munroe feat. Wale – Will I Stay (Remix)
Wale has released 4 mixtapes, played shows around the world, performed with The Roots and has yet to release a studio album. The flow is ridiculous and the main reason why he’s acquired such a large following. It’s a nice change hearing songs where “money, hos, cars, clothes” aren’t mentioned every other line (though I’ll still bang Project Pat like it’s nothing).
“All The Ladies Are Checking Out My Sugar Lumps”
Luckily someone was kind enough to introduce me to Flight of the Conchords early in the first season. If you haven’t seen it you are seriously missing out. Here is a clip from one of their most recent episodes. Be sure to watch it in high quality.
Random Pictures
I’ve been meaning to put up the photobooth pictures for a long time and I figured I would throw up the Fuji Instax pics too.
If you haven’t seen the Fuji Instax before… You definitely won’t see me out with it anywhere. The thing is like carrying around a women’s basketball. It’s gigantic. That’s what I get for ordering off eBay.
Check the rest of the photos after the jump… (more…)
How Did the Penguin Cross High Street?
Meet Pepe. He has been part of our crew for the past 5 or 6 years (I’m not actually sure how we acquired him so maybe someone can clear that up with a comment). He has been across numerous state lines and has lived through multiple life threatening injuries and he is also responsible for at least 2 broken windows. A few weeks ago we decided to take him outside into the snow. The rest is history.
Be sure to watch the stranger fall while kicking Pepe in the second video.
Surfrider Foundation: Catch of the Day
This idea is genius. This campaign has insight, purpose, and surprise all in wrapped up in one powerful package. Not many guerrilla campaigns are executed this well.
The Surfrider Foundation was fed up with how dirty our beaches were and how little was being done to solve the problem. They teamed up with Satchi & Satchi LA to design a campaign where they collected garbage, packaged it like food, and left it on displays at various farmer’s markets. Someone looking to buy fish and seeing a plate full of cigarette butts can’t help but realize that pollution ISN’T always someone else’s problem.
