Local's Only/Snaps | Pico to La Brea

The past week we spent numerous days around the city to for a couple meetings, networking & of course to chill with the homies. First stop was Pico's very own, The Trap House. We dropped by here to talk with Anwar about a couple projects including shooting his "WDYWT" Segment which is coming soon.

We spent a couple days at the recently opened, Black Scale La Brea location working on a project with Mega along side with Melloe Won.

This store is put together well, with a clean and simplistic aesthetic with very graphic & bold visuals to complete it's look.

Mega has a lot of knowledge & experience in this industry and being able to work with & hear his stories was pretty chill. We respect the boldness he has to produce the darker graphics in this industry, we got a chance to peep out what's in store for future seasons be on the look out. Shout out to Mega & his crew, definitely laid back dudes that showed us love, it is appreciated.

On a Side Note, I was contemplating jacking Berto for his salad while we were waiting for Mega on the block.

Melloe Won , business as usual.

Mateo managed to get a couple stunts in, this Nollie Backside Disaster came easy. DO IT ON THE EXTENSION NEXT TIME!

RECAP | Ladies Love Summer Jamz

Last week we made an appearance in Hollywood for the "Ladies Love Summer Jamz" Event & Concert with our good friend Stevie Crooks Headlining. He opened up talking shit to the crowd including the random broad yelling "put on some house music". Funny that he told me he was gonna talk shit before he got on stage. Performing some of his newer work, he lyrically killed it, not to mention is was wearing our red "Gutter Life" tee. We recommend that you don't sleep on him. The diverse crowd showed us a lot of love, maybe it was our hood display, or the posters we posted all over the place..... enjoy:

Shout out to big Noa James...

Walked in the bathroom & seen this... had to snap one.

Tune in Tuesday's / Quick Update

We haven't posted an update on our blog for about a week now. Fortunately we've been very busy working and planning for Fall '11. We recently closed the store for about a month, we are going to be doing a little remodeling, so the next time your come into the shop it will be filled with many items. We would also like to Thank everyone who has been supporting our brand and keeping our lifestyle afloat. On a side note, we have some new music for you guys out there. Mateo and I have been continuously playing this guy on an everyday bases at the shop and on the road. He goes by " ASAP Rocky " from Harlem. Here's one of his videos, check him out.

Until then, Do You Not Them and hopefully we'll see you at our next event.

Thanks Again,

Travis

Snaps | Agenda Day 1

Agenda Day 1 was full of great new, good people, & a lot of great product to go around. The most inspiring thing about Agenda is everyone's business mindsets at the event, every time we go we learn something new. We will have some announcements soon enough but for now enjoy some pictures:

The view of the beach from the Courtyard

don't ask...

Good sitting down and talking with Anwar, he was one of the lucky twelve to go home with a Limited Color "Gutter Life" tee.

Go follow his Photo Blog... Now, like right now!

Anf, & Ricky Webb are some long time skate friends... Happy Birthday Ricky!

Bobby Hundreds also took home 1 of the twelve limited tees, him & Wezzie had a nice invigorating talk about wrestling below.

Joyce caught up with us from The Blonde Locks.

Ken from Crooks showed us their new SE Collab which is clean as hell, I told him to let me know 3 weeks in advanced so I can save!

The BBQ was packed, free food, & good people.

Check out Wezzie's double over there.

This was one of the lines for the BBQ in the courtyard.

More Pics of Day 2 to come.

REMINDER:

SEE YOU TONIGHT!

Event | Post Agenda Festivities.

This past weekend we locked ourselves in the office in preparation for the upcoming Agenda Trade Show. If you don't know what Agenda is, this is a excerpt from their website:

"The Agenda Trade Show is a forum for the most inspired in the streetwear and action sports industries to unite. Lines speak for themselves and buyers are not intimidated by the usual overwhelming tradeshow experience. From the garage-run lines on the verge of explosion, to the well-established elite, Agenda caters to the needs of buyers and brands that exist on a higher level of design and aesthetic. With a strong emphasis in style, art, music and culture, the Agenda experience is as much a lesson as it is a tool."

The Trade Show will last 2 days along with a BBQ & Party on Wed. We will be having a chill event on Thursday from 6-10 at our office to wrap up the show & celebrate the upcoming seasons. Make sure you come through and kick it with the team. We will be throwing everything on sale for $15 this day including the $10 box. It will definitely be a good way to kick-off the weekend.

SPEAKING of WEEKEND KICK-OFF's

We are the official "Special Guest Vendor" of the "Ladies Love Summer Jamz 2011" Event!

Quick Edits | These Kids Aren't Alright.

When you have a shop you gotta expect having those bad ass kids that come around & terrorize the place. Well heres a prime example! Our super intern brought his crew over & they literally went Ape Sh*t.
