This is a quick post just to confirm that the first shirts for 2010 are here. Already we have almost sold out of the Live+Learn+Lead black shirt. We sold our clothes at Capital Funks 3rd annual showcase. Once our new site is up all NF fans can get a shirt for themselves. Until then..here are some prelim photos.
Ah see this nice box from stickerrobot.com came not too long ago. And you know what came in it? Our first batch of stickers. Already have been painting the DMV with them. For anyone else who wants to do that same just let me know. Take a look at the stickers and let us know. I think they came out pretty good or well or however you want to say it.
Every now and then we run into another brand/designer whose quality of work we can't help but salivate at, and in the case of Johnny Cupcakes we've been known to make the occasion dribble (good thing we have these). What we love most about JC, is not simply the mash-up of Cupcakes x Crossbones, but the way in which Johnny Earle, JC's creator, is virtually synonymous with the company that bares his name. Earle embodies all the qualities, that he hopes to have associated with his brand. No better display of this than his current Back To Basics: Suitcase Tour. Johnny is touring all over the U.S., getting back to selling shirts out of suitcases, catching up with his fans (NF @ 4mins), and sharing his overall appreciation and thanks. We recently caught the tour in Annapolis, and after getting to chill and pick the mind of the visionary, we can't wait for the stop in Georgetown. Oh! and the best part, most stops have been at the local Cupcakery. Check out the dates to get your fix, of all things sugary sweet and Johnny Cupcakes.
As I go through all of my old toys and gadgets...I really wonder what it will be like when I have kids. When Brandon Junior has his Playstation 6 and knows nothing about blowing on game cartridges or CD read errors. How many of you remember the iconic SEEEGAAAAA when booting up Sonic 2? Or the opening screen to Super Mario 3? These memories have honestly helped spawn a creative mind, an interesting and curious mind. Video games have helped stimulate who I am and many of you all. While they are not your typical bread and butter when it comes to learning mechanisms. I think they definitely have had a huge impact on generation Y. We have learned so many things about the world and our selves through digital media. This trend will only continue as games are used more frequently as a teaching tool. Lets remember and keep it moving. For our kids...so long Super C Contra and hello Math Blaster 2025!
So I am working on a few new shirts. This one is the secondary logo in black on black and teal. I am starting to get exciting about bringing new product out. It only is fitting that we drop clothes 365 days after the last drop.
Our good friends Capital Funk represented the DMV at Main Event 2010. This competition, hosted by Fr3sh dance troupe, included a dozen teams from the east coast battling it out in NJ. There were some nice special guests such as Fanny Pack and Kaba Modern Legacy. Take a look at the video. Be careful though the opening may make you rethink what "Tutting" is.
If you haven't seen it already, Discovery's Life is an incredible series documenting the lives and stories of our not too distant cousins in the Animal Kingdom. Introducing never-before-seen footage (see Komodo Dragon feeding or Bowerbird mating), and narration from none other than Oprah Winfrey, Life's magnitude is amazingly captured in this first in this lifetime presentation. Introducing the audience to entirely new worlds, the series also works to reinforce many traditional human ideologies, such as survival and parenting. The 11 part series has almost come to a close, but with two weeks left, there's plenty to see as the show has still yet to explore "Hunter and [the] Hunted", "Insects", "Plants", and "Primates". On, Sundays @ 8pm E.T. this is a must watch for those who Learn + Live + Lead.
