I hate the fact that ASR is right after Magic (I need at least a month to recover from Vegas) but work is work and since ASR is a hour and a half south of the Orisue Towers, Allen had the bright idea to rent a van and drive the booth down instead of shipping it in a crate. Thanks Allen, I'll mail you the medical bills after the show.
Magic trade show in Las Vegas just ended yesterday and we're already back in the office working.
HELLO FRONT DOOR!!!
King Doan with his hair down and looking annoyed as ever...!
The aftermath of a trade show always leaves our office in shambles with boxes, hangers, and samples everywhere!!!
Yass aka Frenchy aka Jean Claude had never been to Vegas before. All im gonna say is im surprised to see him here this early ;)
I bet you're wondering whats inside of those black bags
Everyone gets a little happier once the food arrives. Fast food breakfast never tasted so good.
It's not over yet, though... we still got ASR on September 4 - 6. Don't forget to visit our booth if you haven't yet. And also, check out, CTOTHEJL.com for some Spring 2009 sneaks at the Magic show.
When I came in the office on Thursday I noticed my container that I use to eat my delicious pack of $.59 chow mein noodles had gotten swiss cheese'd up by an airsoft gun. Since the only other person in the office with a airsoft gun besides me is Alain Montiel. I decided to take the law into my own hands and not only bring my airsoft gun for payback, but also use our new Flip Cams for you're veiwing pleasure. Please enjoy!
When we think of professional sports, the first thoughts that come to mind are usually "football", "baseball" "steroids" and so on. It wasn't until I met Michael, a semi - professional video gamer, that my eyes were open to this whole new level of sport, MLG or Major League Gaming. Here we have a normal teenager with a girlfriend and a bunch of great friends, impossible to tell that this kid is literally on the sticks for a living, trying his hardest to charge up the Halo3 leader boards and trying to make a name for him self amongst the best. He introduced me into a world in which i never imagined, an arena of wide screen LCD tv's and Xbox 360 consoles. Well today i went with Michael to practice at a local center that he is sponsored by, Howie's Game Shack. If you want to challenge Mike, you can contact him on his gamertag's: aCREEZ / HeaLthy
The main stage haha.
Howie's Game Shack at the Westminster Mall.
Settin' up.
Warm up game.
This is Michael's Challenge Me face. (Gamertag - aCREEZ / HeaLthy).
O-Team Go!
If you want to watch, here's a trailer for Michael's montage thats coming soon. And if you wanna learn more about this crazy scene. Check www.MLGpro.com
Where do I begin with this one. Maybe the fact that when I heard the original idea of my two good friends wanting to compete in the Demolition Derby, I thought they had lost their minds. Explaining to me that they just bought two cars for $600 each, a Cadillac Seville, and a Lincoln Continental, and were planning on attending the Demolition Derby at the OC Fair. Knowing these guys, I knew they weren't going to have some normal beat up demolition cars. And just as i expected, the next thing they told me was that they were going on down to their dad's paint booth, where they would BOTH get brand new paint jobs, gold flake and some paint-on D's. For the whole week prior to the event, they were working on the cars to make sure they actually ran, and they were filling up the boring side panels, fenders, roof and all, with sponsorships?! Using their friends vinyl cutter at Two Wheel Motion Motorcycle shop, they decked 'em out with stickers. And then it came time for the bashing.
Our homie Yassine from Lyon, France comes here every summer to help us out with anything and everything. This guy is a machine and he'll do whatever needs to get done at the office. Ballz Out! He's been out here now for almost 2 weeks and because everyones so busy I think he's been doing a whole lot of nothing.
So today I grabbed the camera to document what Jean Claude does all day and this is what went down...
It has seriously been crazy here at the Orisue towers and quite honestly, we haven't been the best at keeping our blog updated. I know, we suck. But then again, who would take pride in the ability to blog well? That's like saying you enjoy not getting laid, or that the internet isn't a disease.
There is one great thing about the internet though, aside form p0rn... The ability to steal music without going to Wal-Mart to do it. Our good friends, sourMILK and Just-N-Credible put together a mixtape called "SKILLmatic." It's all NAS, all good.
The two yogurt colored kids on the cover with Nasty are sourMILK to the left and Just-N-Credible to the right. Wu-Tang!
To get a copy of this mixtape, you gotta download this massive 140mb piece of pure ear enjoyment. CLICK HERE FOR MIX TAPE!
In other news... EL-P put the first disc of his tour CD up for free downloadage in the Def Jukies store. This shit is fire!
Big Chunk hit us with these photos of Kardinal Offishall on the set of his new music video featuring Clipse, that he must have taken with a 5 year old cellphone while he was drunk and under water. I'm just kidding Chunk, your photography is fire!
This past weekend we had our FIRST summer BBQ which featured a couple performances... one of whom was Fashawn. This kid is incredible. He just dropped a nasty mixtape titled "The Phenom 2" featuring songs such as "Never Fall In Love", "Excuses", and "I'll Take Everything." Most of these songs can be found on his Myspace. Anyways... as of now, he's busy working on his NEW album, "BOY MEETS WORLD" exclusively produced by EXILE. He recently leaked this brand new music video, titled F.A.S.H.A.W.N.... Proudly rocking our D-Boy T-shirt. Keep your eye's on this dude.
So a couple of us went out to Chipotle for lunch today (it has become almost a twice a week ritual), and we noticed something. If you have ever been to Chipotle, by the cashier they have a can to put your business cards and they pull one out each week for a free burrito or something. So yeah, behold the weekly wiener.
