I MET DAVID QUITE RANDOMLY IN THE BASEMENT OF THE WESC STORE (SLAM CITY SKATES ANNEX).  I INTRODUCED MYSELF AND CHATTED FOR A BIT.  WE EXCHANGED NUMBERS AND HE SAID HE’D CALL UP FOR A SESSION THE FOLLOWING DAY.  

BEING FROM NYC I’VE BEEN CONDITIONED TO NOT EXPECT THAT CALL FOR ANY NUMBER OF REASONS.  THE NEXT DAY I RECEIVED A TEXT ON WHERE TO MEET AND I WAS OFF. DAVID INTRODUCED ME TO A FEW FRIENDS AND HIS FLATMATE.  GOT TO SIT IN AND WATCH THEM SKATE SOUTH BANK.  EVEN THOUGH TIME WAS SHORT & INTRODUCTIONS BREIF DAVID CAME ACROSS AS A REAL STAND-UP CHARACTER.  HE EVEN PUT UP WITH A FAULTY FLASH UNIT TO TAKE THIS PHOTO.  HE PROBABLY 5-0’D THAT LEDGE 25 TIMES.  I DEFINITELY APPRECIATED HIS PATIENCE AND HIS OVERALL CHILLED OUT DEMEANOR.  KEEP IN TOUCH DAVID.  SEE YOU HERE THIS SUMMER!

Yesterday we got the chance to head over to the “Williamsburg” of London.  There we visited the good folks at CHROME & BLACK.  Yani and Olivia,  great people. Shared some stories and more importantly shared some laughs.  They loved our shades (courtesy of Atomagalactic).  I even got Olivia to do an impromptu modeling session with the shades.

So we went to the OF concert last night.  Shit was tight.  Mighty Mos was there amongst other noteworthy high-profile regular-ass human beings.  No disrespect to Mos Def though, he’s seriously the man.   If you don’t know about Odd Future…You Will.
