Listen. Can you do me a favor? Stop all the downloading. Turn off anything that requires the internet other then what you're using. I mean everything, even if grandma's using it.

Let this video load and enjoy.

ANOTHER EVENT! It's going down this Saturday @ Kress. AND IT'S FREE!!!!!! Of course, Orisue will be providing gift baggies thrown out on stage to all the fans that showed up last time.

Here's some pictures of the trip:

The Reluctant fan. We came up to this guy at the airport to give him a high five, but he was a little timid. Maybe it was because we all ganged up on him like wolves over a sheep. If I ever see someone on the streets wearing Orisue, I always try to say hi. So don't be scared!

Pizza's the first priority.

First stop was SneakerHub in Jeeerrsseeyy. What a beautiful store and an impressive selection.

I look like a deer in headlights. Everytime I come through, their selection of sneakers are crazy. This is just the basement. Above this was the regular stock room with even more.

Jeff is documenting his life through the collection of his tattoos while traveling with us. I'm surprised he hasn't gotten an infection yet.

Blades. They were one of our first accounts on the east coast and have definitely repped us hard. Shout out to Dave, sorry we didn't get a chance to get up.

Dunkin' Donuts. Heartburn Heaven.

Fashawn was out there on the east doing his thing as you can see in our post before this. We had to get up with him in to sit down for a drink. And he's not even of age. They were easy going.

Vimby recently did a segment on Evidence, check for a cameo from Fashawn midway through.

No doubt about it. Fashawn is on the grind. If you see him roaming on the streets of NY right now, say what's up!

Johnny (12:36:46 PM): are u lying to me?

I'd just like to thank everyone that has supported me during my time at Orisue. These past 3+ years have been the best of my life!

For a second there, I was actually getting a little anxious. I want to thank everyone that reached out to us with your concerns! From our fans and retailers, to our friends and family, we love you too. And of course, I did promise a sale didn't I?

Stay on your toes next year.

Personally, I didn't think this scene was as big as it was years ago, but just showing up I realized how far off I was. It's not that the scene has shrunk or anything, it's just that I wasn't into it. Needless to say, Attic X Formula Drift was holding it down harder then ever and their event was fun as hell.

Here's some pictures of what I captured before I got too caught up and forgot snapping shots:

First, the large and impressive Attic sign. It's like driving on the freeway and looking for a pit stop. You can't miss it!

Since most of the guys were out in the east, I went to the event by myself. I was immediately accommodated by a very fine gentleman by the name of Pesci. He writes the Attic Blog. CHECK IT OUT. Great guy. Pesci made me feel like a highlighted important person at the event even though I was actually rolling all alone with zero posse.

I was easily distracted by this BBQ grill. The last time I remember seeing something like this was back in high school when I went to my friend's Samoan luaus.

Another distracting sight was Ms. Julia Vaughn. She runs the blog at Triumvir called On Second Thought. A lot of buzz has been going around about Julia. Apparently, some have labeled her the hottest female in our scene thus far? I can't say much for everyone, but she's more than just looks, gentleman.

I don't think I could ever drive a car like that...

And this... Although both are very nice and probably worth more than my car x 3840938493845809345.

Our boys at Triumvir came out to support in full effect. It was really easy to spot these dudes... BECAUSE THEY ARE ALWAYS IN BLACK!!! BLACK, BLACK, BLACK!

James (Attic), thanks for the invite to such a great event... Until next time!

MEET THE ARTISTS: Thurz and YO. The ying and the yang. The alpha and omega of what is UNI. There's a lot to say about the guys, so I'll keep it short. They are HUNGRY!!!! As they progress in their career, you'll see what I mean. So let's turn our attention to the guys in the background, holding it down.

THE MANAGER: Chris London. You can't see his head in this picture, but he has no hair. Managing any artist is probably harder then anything else. Trust me, I have to deal with two of them on the daily and it's no fun. I'm not saying that Yo or Thurz are temperamental, but artists have a certain vision and it's the managers job to help facilitate that vision. Chris works hard and is as hungry as the guys.

THE GO-TO-GUY: Geoff (sounds exactly like Jeff, but don't tell him that). When I first met the guy, I wasn't too sure what he did for the team. I just knew he was an important member, until that day they came in and I asked him. "What are you doing, Jeff?" and he goes "Everything else." That's classic.

So the guys came through to talk about several upcoming projects that we're working with them. If you look at Mike's face, this is an example of two artists colliding. Either that or he really needs to take a poo.

Here's a sneak of what's to come... and it all begins with their signature.

MORE IMPORTANT,... the guys are releasing their first full length album called "A LOVE SUPREME" that will be out available for a free directly to from their site. If that isn't "a love supreme" than, I don't know what is.

HERE's THE LINK!

The very following day, UNI will be hosting in conjunction with Myspace and us, an album release party. The first 20 guests of the night will get a signed copy of their album as well as a special gift bag from Orisue. Make sure you come out and support!

For their 15th anniversary, Avenue took a step in a new direction by changing their store's look in a very nice way and updated their name to Orange County General Store (although you can't get generally everything, like condoms or lotion, but generally things in the world of clothing, skating, or art). It's OCGS for short, or funny enough, when you call the store, they'll answer with just The Store. (If you get prank called Steve, don't blame me!)

This weekend, they'll be hosting a party at The Crosby with our friends, Wendy City and Yooks. Even more awesome, UNI will be performing! Check out the flyer below.

First and foremost, SF has the nicest weather. Springs in session. And we had to go and visit the park.

Treed within Trees was amazing.

Sticker bombin' was in session, but do you see that little hook?

Hand vs Hook? Hand loses.

Let's let Jeff tell the actual story of what really happened...

Now normally, we wouldn't leave anyone behind, but the point of the trip was for the show. Sad Face Jeff was a little upset that he couldn't make it. And after 4 hrs, we came back to scoop him up. What a champ. Could you see the agony in is face as we left him at the ER?

The concert was held at the Palace Of Performing Arts. The crowd was huge and the whole vibe was amazing. Glow sticks? Crazy.

Shortly afterwards, Jin followed up FM's performance to close out the night.

Wally had a little tattoo envy from the other day when Jeff and I had our tattoos, so for this trip, he stepped up and took it to the next level. Right hand Orange (do I really need to explain).

Left hand mustache. Yes, that really happened.

Tom (Partytilam) threw up. So did Wally.

Goodbye SF, until we meet again.

Could it be that Soulja Boy is delusional and pretending to be a crocodile hunter?

Could it be that he has the worst australian accent? Real talk. Call the office and ask for Crocodile Doan for an Aussie accent. Actually, don't call.

Could it be that not once, and I mean ONCE did I see a snake, and furthermore, if he was a crocodile hunter, then why was he hunting a snake the whole time?

Or could it be your boy, Soulja Boy is actually wearing a size Large?!?!?!? You heard it. I saw it and didn't believe. SOULJA BOY IS WEARING A LARGE in our Reeves long sleeve button-up.

A photo shoot to introduce Orisue to patrons from Revolve was only suiting. It was really impressive to see other companies depiction when styling Orisue garments together. Below you'll find from our Spring 2009 collection, the Seymore hoodie in orange, Elliot nylon jacket in bronze, and the Ronin denim in grey.
