I am super stoked on these! I was really questioning it last night, but I am kind of pumped. Considering, this is my first pair, I think I did a decent job. Next, acid wash attempt will be some tank tops! ListenUp.
Acid Washing Part 1.
I have wanted a pair of "acid washed" denim for quite some time now. Recently, I had a talk with a good friend of mine (Tim) and he mentioned that he acid washed one of the tee's he was wearing using bleach. So, I decided to give it a try, I recently got my old baggy Kr3w blue jeans tapered (from the expertise, Tina's Tailoring):
p.s. These aren't actually my legs or my jeans. Just a product shot of the before tapered jeans.
So, tonight at approx. 11:30 pm I built up the courage to sneak away into the garage with bleach, a towel, a home made tank, and my freshly fitted denim to experiment with the concept. First, set up in the garage... laying down a towel, and rolling up my jeans. Second, after realizing I locked myself in the garage, waking up my mother and lying to her "I was just putting something in the garbage, and forgot my keys!"... I went inside to soak my denim and tank in cold water. Wringing them out so, they aren't soaked. Third, laying them flat to begin the splatter of the bleach, keeping in mind that you need to spread out the excess bleach to apply a more "natural" pattern. Fourth, letting them sit for about 5-10 minutes, then taking them to the washing machine to clean the "itchy" chemical from the pieces. I heard that you will need to wash them more than once to get rid of the itchy feeling from the denim. We will have to see though. I will provide some more information and pictures in a later post. ListenUp.

Mo Market Skate BBQ!
I have been planning and brain storming a fundraiser/event for the community for quite sometime. About 2 weeks ago after having a discussion with Kent(Outtabounds) about what I was thinking about planning (BBQ/Skate event), He agreed that it was a great idea. Little did I realize that the best possible date for this idea was in approx. 2 weeks (end of school for high-school students)... basically a perfect kick off to summer!
After 24 hours of planning and numerous discussions with other staff, I got everything written down and finalized. We thought of fundraisers over and over again. But, the one that stuck out most to me was The Canadian Cancer Society. Recently, one of my friends/staff member's father passed away from cancer. I felt like I should sort of throw this for her and her family. Cancer is one of the most common illness' in the world, My Grandpa passed away when I was 14... I was devastated, He was not only the funniest person I have every met but one of the many people that has effected my life in a positive way.
Once, we had everything planned it was ready to go. We had a lot of sponsors that were stoked to help this event out... Co-op, Vitamin Water, Sous Chef, Dr.J, and Single Second. Co-op supplied the buns, Vitamin Water supplied refreshments, Sous Chef donated there water, Dr. J brought the entertainment, and Single Second generously donated there ever so popular t-shirts.
After looking online at the weather I noticed it was supposed to be a horrible rainy/stormy day... I was starting to get worried. Rain, DJ's, Skateboarding and BBQ's aren't a good mix! I began to think of back up plans. After, Asif(momentum) left for South Africa/World Cup... I knew that I was the one to make the 'executive' decisions.
On, June 21st 2010 (Day Before the BBQ) I had a quick skate sesh with some of the boys. It was a mellow sesh. I wanted to practice up. But, soon figured out that this was already a shitty performance on my part, and to top it all off... I tried to shuvit over something... landed super awkwardly and dropped to the floor... this meant I couldn't skate for a while... and definitely not at the BBQ. I was super bummed out after that.
The BBQ went really well, we had a lot of skaters come out! As well as, a lot of BBQ lovers! haha. We ended up raising $300 for Cancer. Super good turn out.
More coverage to come!

Nike SB Summer 2011 Releases.
Recently, I checked out Highsnobiety and saw a post on Summer 2011 releases for SB. Typically, when pictures are released a year in advance you can expect changes made to the shoe... But these two were so nice and clean, that I had to believe it was true (keep in mind that I have pre-booked already).
I believe this is entirely Canvas? (or Denim?)... either or a very well done Dunk High. I love the tonal accent changes on the tongue and laces.
Leather and Suede can often bring out a not so classy look. But this by far has been the 'classiest' Janoski I have seen by far! This is gonna be on my "To-Buy List".
Janoski-Festive Green.
I have been looking for a pair of simple green low profile shoes for quite sometime. About three weeks ago I called Nike SB to trace an order and luckily remembered these were releasing soon...
So, I have a size 11.5 being shipped to me as we speak! Can't wait for these. If you haven't worn a pair of Janoski's you are missing out.
Trilogy (Yamaha x Nicki pt.2 x Abyss) - The-Dream.
Released video for The-Dream's third studio album "Love King".
Tuesdays With W.I.L.T. - Thank Me Later.
Drake's first studio album, Thank Me Later released June 15th 2010. I have been listening to it everyday, more than twice a day since June 7th 2010... About 18 days. Thank Me Later sold 1,447,000 records in North America in the debut week. Potentially, my pick for the best album of 2010.
I have not been more thoroughly impressed by a debut album. I have been waiting for this album for quite some time now, honestly I was worried Drake would crash into the hype and not get past it. But, he didn't disappointment me. I have been trying to narrow down my favorite track of TML but it was so hard to find my favorite track... seeing as every track is a potential hit. Every song has a good amount of R&B and Hip Hop. After, discussion with inno and Hello Saskatoon, here is what I came up with(Best to Least Favorite):
-Shut It Down (Feat. The-Dream)
-Unforgettable (Feat. Jeezy)
-Up All Night (Feat. Nicki Minaj)
-Karaoke
-Light Up (Feat. Jay-Z)
-Fireworks (Feat. Alicia Keys)
-The Resistance
-Over
-Miss Me (Feat. Lil Wayne)
-Find Your Love
-Cece's Interlude
-Show Me A Good Time
-Fancy (Feat. T.I. & Swizz Beatz)
-Thank Me Now
Check out Drake's 'Breakdown" of the album:
