/// saturday ///
jamie starts out the day with doing up her hair all nice and perdy like…

crowd/scene shot and you can see birthday girls dad in the foreground on the left. what up jun!

had no idea jollibee had their own cartoon characters… this dude’s name is “popo”… what the fuck???

yes. the little girl all the way to the right is pointing with her lips. smh.

happy birthday jorelle!!!

i woulda taken a 2 piece chicken joy instead but this works. hehe.

after eating, we pretty much just looked like this…

until this fucker showed up… jollibee!!!

jealous? you should be. we know peoples. unfortunately we only got one picture in cause the monster filipino baby behind us was hungry…

ended the night with meeting some friends at hobson’s choice for some punch… good peoples & good times…

/// sunday ///
saw where the wild things are yesterday. i dug it. it was great to see that book translated to the screen in such a believable way. the monsters were so humanized and fluid moving, you’d swear they existed somewhere. good stuff.

bears vs. falcons made me wanna shoot myself. nuff said. fuckin forte. what a fluke. CUTLER RUSHED MORE… IN ONE RUN!!! FUCK!!

wtf?! black/gold sneaker pimps fitted. 10.18.09

one of my finished pieces for “eternal sleep” @ 1:AM gallery… “bath”

messing around with some concepts for a tikbalang. meh.

here is the chicago remix of “something is wrong” by 9th Wonder & David Banner featuring twista, naldedge and rhymefest

the graff mag clout just did a collab with elm company to drop some pretty nice fitteds. the ones on the left are the “header” fitteds and the ones on the right are “logo” fitteds. always a safe bet to go with black/white, grey/white and black tonal designs. the front designs are pretty fresh and clean as well. go job fellas.
RATING:

pennant race just dropped the “natural” fitted. grey melton wool bill and crown and the front sports a new “PR” varsity mark done in felt applique. good fuckin work. definitely has an old school baseball feel to it.
RATING:

major dc just dropped another “script” fitted in a redskins colorway to rep the hometeam of course. nice clean stuff as usual from the fellas in DC.
RATING:

i dont like usually putting team fitted up but when fitted hawaii did a custom of my boys on the south side, the white sox, i had to push it out and there. black base, red piping and the old white sox logo from 1912-1929 in white. nice work!
RATING:

i havent been impressed by a kid robot fitted in a really long time. the “nutter”, which was designed by kronk, is fuckin SICK in my opinion. so many details without being too cluttered. dark heather grey jersey fleece crown and brim, “kronk” graphic on one side, AWESOME bandaid graphic on the bill and awesome squirrel crossbones graphic on the front. this might possibly be my most favorite kid robot drop yet…
RATING:

here kid robot goes back to doing OK fitteds. this is the “dunny plaid” fitted. light gray crown and brim, white front panels, logo patterned underbrim and plaid dunny graphic on the front. meh.
RATING:

kozik helped out kid robot with this fitted and called it the “scrapbook.” features and all black fitted with a collage on the front panels with kozik x kid robot on the back. if anything, i think i like the back better than the front for some reason. not bad tho.
RATING:

the “stencil” by kid robot is a nice attempt but fails/flawed cause it looks like a fuckin hurley fitted to me. maybe next time.
RATING:

i dig the simplicity and cleanliness of this fitted. its pretty dope. this is the “one eyed robot” fitted from kid robot. all black fitted, white underbrim and the kid robot logo with a messed up eye. good shit.
RATING:

ive been wondering where aNYthing has been. this woulda made a great fitted but its a pretty cool snapback called the “local 10.” has that union cap kinda feel to it. fresh graphic on the front and available in navy and white colorways. solid
RATING:

this is the “japanese manga” fitted from uptown jiggy. it sports a black crown, blue (70s looking) polyester top brim with gold laurels and a star, japanese flag on the back with a manga line drawing on the front. pretty cool, lots of detail all around.
RATING:

the “afro canadians” fitted from uptown jiggy definitely has a sports fitted feel to it. solid grey crown and top brim, green underbrim, red stripes across the front brim, canadian flag on the side and a dope football

ive always liked the hieroglyphics logo. so simple yet so ridiculously dope and recognizable. hella tight did a fitted for del and this was the outcome. so more bay area love with this fleece black crown, leather brim, tonal del logo in the back and silver hiero logo in the front
RATING:

cant remember the last time i posted a recon fitted. here’s the “eagle” fitted. its sports a baby blue crown and brim, white piping, “recon” on the back in baby blue and a currency-esque eagle on the front in a baby blue as well holding a white recon logo. pretty cool. i might rock this.
RATING:

recon again with the “dollar” hat. currency “R” logo, with some piping, “job u. blind(?)” on the side and the recon logo on the back. available in tan-grey/black and khaki/white colorways. the colorways on these fitteds were really well chosen.
RATING:

and again from recon is the “flocked splat” fitted. features a random splat pattern printed all over the hat in a royal blue/cyan, grey/magenta or red/black colorway.

dearly departed has a pretty damn cool logo. this time around they team up with quintin to drop a snapback that features a grey wool crown, black brim and the dearly departed logo on the front in white. cool stuff
RATING:

wow. an LRG fitted on my blog. its been a while, word. here is the “bound for glory fitted. denim fitteds, with the gold LRG badge in front. available in black or blue denim. nice work, especially on the blue denim fitted… im eyeing that one…
RATING:

now only if LRG made this a fitted instead of a snapback, i would be all over it. black crown, the ok “LRG” graphic on the front and the KILLER plaid on the underbrim. i want that as a shirt!
RATING:

acrylick drops a few solid pieces for this fall. here are the “bravery”, “pirate” and “military” fitteds. the acrylick logo in front and all the colorways are pretty self-explanitory from their name. if you dont get them, well… sucks to be you.
RATING:

the newest drop from japanese company winfield is the “menace II society” fitted. available in black, red and blue, this fitted has “MENACE” big and bold across the front in white with “geah!” in a word bubble in the back. as simple as this fitted is, i really dig it. i may need to cop my first winfield.
RATING:

another solid drop from loweres. grey felt crown and brim, red boxed loweres logo and a white “L” logo on the front. theyve done better but this is still solid…
RATING:

seeing as how im the opposite of a lakers fan…meaning i dont like the lakers… i am not the market for this fitted. besides that tho, i kinda dig this fitted. yellow crown, purple upper brim, green underbrim and “FCLA” across the front all big and what not. well executed and simple, its not bad. good shit from flight club
RATING:

seeing as how i talked about spike jonze in the beginning of this post, i figured i’d end it with him. “We Were Once A Fairytale”… a short film by Kanye West and spike jonze. check it out.
