Hello Wakako
Monday, June 23th 2008
The long awaited Stussy Honolulu party came and went. I can easily say this is the most fun I've had out, in a very long time.
Thanks to Ian at Stussy for being awesome. Jules and Muro for the same. Vince and Jeanie for letting me crash at their house after too much drink tickets. And lastly Nick, J Diamond, and Kyle for helping me sweat out my hang over by biking up the Pali. Those guys are way too fast when Im in good condition. Hung over I felt like they were babysitting me.
Well heres what you missed or maybe what you were there for.
That was fun!

Basically if you got your hands on an Aloha Fixed sticker.
Put it in the best place you can find and we'll judge which is the best.

Then if you win I'll dig out something neat to give you as a prize.

Waikiki Monopoly alley cat was AMAZING! I never did a race like that as im sure it was new for alot of people. Thanks to everyone that raced and organized it. Big ups to Franz who broke his 6 month sober binge for it. It was a sight to see for sure.
Also coming up is the Stussy party at Next Door. Djed by MURO from Japan and my boss man Jules. This should be super sick.
And for some other random entertainment. Here's an email i recieved from Hase of Kicks lurker Chad.
