SXSW 2010
DAY 2

after a messy first nite in Austin, Texas for some (ok.me <http://ok.me> ) we rolled out of bed and back into bars with a noontime BRASSTRONAUT show at Republic - which hosted the Sled Island Festival Showcase. BRASSTRONAUT, as usual, was wonderful with their E.D.I.clarinet-horn-piano-guitar epic pop jams - even when using all borrowed gear such as Travis Barker from Blink 182's drum kit which Travis Barker left there the nite before from his A-TRAK x TRAVIS BARKER drumsNdeejay show which was probably just as horrible as it was when I saw DJ AM x TRAVIS BARKER play at Coachella in 2009.

I made a sign for the office this week.

Artist/Designer extraordinaire Tony Larson, who has worked for brands such as Girl & Chocolate Skateboards, Fourstar Clothing and DC Shoes has started his own clothing brand called Superbrand Apparel. You can check out his new website (which was built by our good friend - Chris Baril) here.

Longtime Emerica TM and Altamont brain, Justin Regan is the latest recipient of the honorary title of "professional skateboarder". To commemorate, Emerica has released a limited number of "The Regan" signiture shoe, which is up for sale exclusively through Club Mumble. The Honoris Pro program was launched last year to celebrate the faces behind the scenes. As a small token of thanks for all they contribute to skateboarding recipients receive a plaque and a pro model.

Nikita are already planning the next photoshoot for the Spring Summer 2011 look book.  Packing up and heading out from 23rd April 2010, the Nikita crew and team are hitting up North West Mexico.  If you feel you got the look or want to recommend a friend because you think ‘she’s got the look’ like Swedish pop duo Roxette sang in the late 80’s, then now is the time to reveal who you are and rápido!

Check out the details here!

"SXSW is the spring break for weirdos and music skids.

That is the only way I can describe it." —my!gay!husband!

A bunch of Canadians have made their way down to Austin, Texas this week for the annual SXSW music festival. While Ky and Patrick O'dell document their saga via twitter - it's Jason (My!Gay!Husband!) Sulyma who came through with the full report today:

I recently had the chance to skate with my good friend Jordan down in Cali. He shreds everything, on and off the board.

Check out his Welcome to the Team Video.

really good interview on the juxtapoze site with my favourite color contributor, mr. porous walker!

Did you know Etnies founder Pierre-Andre Senizergues has an exclusive self-titled collection? The overall direction of the capsule is to capture the expanding notion of uniting both the old and new generation of skaters as three adult styles are paired with 3 toddler styles, all a tribute to various parts of PAS’ life. Get out there and find you some.
