Sneaker Pimps

Before I say anything let me give you a run down of my rad weekend.

Friday: First Friday. You read the blog you know all about then. Then there was the shoe release party at Ubiq. Free beers and chill tunes. 'Twas cool. Then we went to a beer pong tournament thing. Kinda lame, but we got drunkd. The house it was at was INSANE though. Five dudes live in this 3 story MANSION and they are paying less than I am for housing. Sucks a nut. They had a hookah room upstairs with block lights and carpets on the walls and a disco ball and pillows all over the place. SO awesome. Then after we went to Little Pete's diner. Not the same as Sherwood but it's open 24/7 and thats all I needed.

Saturday: SNEAKER PIMPS (You'll find out all about this in a mo). Then we went to another house party. This house was pretty chill. I had a big ol' chat with Ry Ry and he told me his woman troubles. ASK HIM ABOUT IT HE'LL LOVE IT. Got drunkd, went home.

Sunday: OUTFEST. It was a gay pride festival that took place on my street and a few adjacent ones. It was pretty gay. That's about it.

Action packed weekend. It was fun fun.

SNEAKER PIMPS
Sneaker pimps was huge. SO many trendy dudes and SOOO many hot shoes. I wasn't really sure what to expect before going but oh man it was fun. There were a couple of live bands and some hip hop dudes which was sweet but obviously the shoes were the main attraction.

They had HUNDREDS of custom shoes. Soooo many shoes. I've never seen so many ace looking pieces of rubber and leather in my life. Here's just a peak. You can see nearly ALL of the shoes on my facebook.













The crew. Starting with me going clockwise it's Me, Jackie, Geoff, Cara, and Andrew. Each sporting his/her kicks to the fullest.


We also saw DJ Tyger Lilly and COLETRAIN:



This guy was hanging(get it?) around with us outside of Ubiq after Sneaker Pimps.

My friend Jackie rocks the Dinos. She wore them the first day I met her, I was buggin.

She ALSO said she got them for only $90 on ebay. Andrew (A super shoew crazed bro) was saying they were up $300 when they came out.

I kinda really want some.

A super bargain on ebay means fake.

Yeah they couple be funks (I just made that up, I hope people don't actually day that) but like I said Andrew knows shoes and he seemed pretty sure they were legit.

How do you wear your High's, Chris? I was at a sneaker show, I ain't covering up my IDs with a pant cuff. Not that day.

minimill said...

usually i do what i think you're doing; let the pants fall over the shoe and kick out the tongue.
