Fine art paintings........
We are nearing the end of our latest art exhibition at ARSENAL, and I wanted to send out these images from the show in case you haven't been able to make it down to the store. I know everyone is poor, but Cory's paintings are super funny, he's a good dude, and sometimes you just gotta support the arts. Kevin Bacon loves Philly, "because of the arts", and look how well things are going for him. And even if you're not a Kevin Bacon fan, or you're just extremely cynical and wonder to yourself, "how is it that they weren't allowed to dance in that town for their entire lives, but when they have that huge party in the end of the movie, there are people pulling off some of the most extreme break dancing moves that took Turbo and Ozone their whole lives to perfect?" anyway, back to my point, these paintings are awesome, and you should buy them so you can make your life better, and so the next time you bring a guy or girl home with you, they don't have to look at your Bob Marley Legend, Belushi "college", Pink Floyd, Magic Eye, Drinking Games, Happy Face with bullet, or any of those other shitty posters you bought for your dorm room 10+ years ago.
side note: Cory is on a poster tour right now selling those same shitty posters to a whole new batch of freshman, for real.

Denton Tall Tales #9
Big City Fashions was your one-stop location for all things bootleg. Well not quite all things, pretty much just beanies and t-shirts, and colored jean shorts. It was located in the heart of town, on main street, and was roughly the size of a walk-in closet.
I’m not sure where they got their merchandise from but I’m pretty sure it came from Baltimore. They would have the same exact beanie, but with different logos embroidered on it. Nike, Polo, Tommy Hilfiger, Nautica. Then next to that they would have the t-shirts. Nike, Polo, Tommy Hilfiger, Nautica. Then the colored jean shorts. Nike, Polo, Tommy Hilfiger, Nautica. I once saw a shirt there that said “Boatica” on it. And I also saw one of the greatest shirts ever created there, and possibly one of my greatest purchase regrets: A white t-shirt that had the logos of every “high-class” clothing company on it. It was a Polo x Versace x Tommy Hilfiger x Nautica x Nike x Gucci x Louis Vuitton bootleg collaboration! Truly classic and to this day I get teary eyed thinking about how I could have passed up such an exclusive item. And for only $10.
Sadly Big City went out of business after about a year. Also I’m not sure if anyone knew that the items they were selling were fake. I feel like in general people actually thought they were buying $20 orange Polo jean shorts, and were getting the deal of the decade.
One of the greatest snaps of my life was when I said that Russ’s mom worked at big city fashions. I remember people laughing really hard, and re-snapping that one.

Morris Day and the Mother Fucking Time
OK so one week out and I'm gonna start out "wif" a good one. I'm gonna leave the journey out to be documented by Alex since he was the one snapping pics, my camera was dead, all I'll say about it is A: Kansas Sucks! and B: Hitting a tractor trailer "re-tread" dead center doing 75mph at about 1:00am in the middle of Illinois will really mess up your evening...
Ok so apparently there are only 2 street festivals a year allowed in all of L.A., one being the Halloween parade in West Hollywood, and the other, which I hit up on Saturday, is Sunset Junction (27 years strong). It's a huge block party with rides, crappy carnival food, an abundance of brewski's, some of the weirdest characters you will ever come across and 3 stages of tunes... This year the highlight, for me, was Morris Day and the Time! I was genuinely excited to see the Time even though all I really knew about Morris is what I had seen on Purple Rain, but you have to admit that's enough to get excited about right there...
Anyway thanks to Snack's I finally charged up my camera and took a stroll down there to check it all out... What follows are some ok pics, and more crappy pics/vids of what I came across...
Enjoy...
Sunset was PACKED, this was for the Blonde Redheads who I had never heard of but were rather good...
Seriously just because there is a DJ, does there automatically have to be a really shitty "break'n" circle? These things should be out-lawed already!
We were all anxiously awaiting the Time on Santa Monica...
And Jonny Law was perched on the rooftops flashing his mag-lite at people...
Awwwwww Yeah!
It's called "The Bird!"
So I know the quality on this sucks and it's shakey as all hell but you have to check the entrance, the fur, 2 mirrors, the man's a pimp!
Now take a look at the choreography, this is a very very small sample, the man's still got it!
And OF COURSE:
I'm gonna go ahead and make a bold claim that this was easily one of the top 5 show's I've ever seen! These guys were funny, sounded great, got the crowd involed and were stylish as hell! Morris is a true entertainer and anyone who get's on a stage should take notes!
On a side note step your post's up "son" I've seen all these pics before, old news!
Catch ya next week although I don't know how it's gonna stand up to this week....
