Talk about an awesome cast. You got Zach Braff, Casey Affleck, The Cocky Blond Guy from Not Another Teen Movie, oh and umm, Rachel m-effing Bilson. There’s also some famous old people, but who cares.
Shop Gentei is a small store with big connections. They operate out of a small space at 1010 Morton St in the the Mt. Vernon area of Baltimore. They are one of the only stores in Baltimore with a coveted Nike SB account and they also get a fair amount of rare Jordans and other Nikes. They also have Japanese connections and get brands that few other American stores can. For example, they just got a bunch of stuff from Japanese streetwear brand Swagger.
What can be said about Gabe Saporta of Cobra Starship that hasn’t already been said about Rick James by Dave Chappelle? He’s the best singer, the best dancer, one of the best lookin’ muthafucka’s you ever seen, no homo.

Don’t you hate when a movie comes out in theaters and you totally sleep on it, only to find out about it later from your friends that it was awesome? What’s worse than that is when you know a movie is going to be awesome and you can’t get anyone to go see it with you. Imagine this conversation, if you will:
We make money not art is an art blog. A very good one at that. We’ve only been following them for a short time, but they are consistently interesting, esoteric and witty. Now here is our beef with them…
Rough Magic is a cool play. You should go see it.
Rough Magic begins in a class room at Columbia University which is taught by a Ghost World-esque grad student named Linda Summers (Gwen Grastorf). She introduces the basic themes of the play in such an authentic college lecture like way that members of the audience will feel compelled to guess the answers to her questions when she looks at them. Basically, this play is about magic and a sorcerer named Prospero.
We learned of this event through its connection to the radio station 98 Rock. The Polar Bear Plunge is basically thousands of people jumping into the freezing cold Chesapeake Bay in the end of January. As well as the Plunge, there are vendors and other stuff set-up all along the Sandy Point Beach.
We’ve aligned ourselves with Team Mickey, which is named for a rude, impish DJ on 98 Rock. We are looking forward to meeting Mickey, Amelia, Scott, Lick-a-lot, and the rest of the 98 Rock family. But mostly, we want to meet Steph and Josh Spiegel who are seriously the only reasons why we used to listen to the 98 Rock Morning Show last year when it was just two fat homophobic sloths talking about what they wanted to watch on TV later that night.
Seriously, watch this video.
We like it. We don’t know if it’s the attempt at Jim Jones’ voice in the second verse, the oversized dollar bills, the fact that they got the one black guy in town to drop a verse but he obviously wasn’t invited to the main video shoot, or just the high school-ness of making a song about your mom yelling at you, but these boys have a hit on their hands.
We have been meaning to check out Major for a while now. In case you have missed all the internet NikeTalk.com buzz, Major is a new sneaker and streetwear boutique which opened recently in Georgetown. They are located in an understated store front at 1426 Wisconsin Ave. NW. They don’t have a big sign out front, just their logo frosted onto the front door, so we walked past it a couple times.
Once inside, we were impressed by their selection of sneakers. Our favorite sneakers are Dunks, Blazers and Vandals, all of which they had several different colors of. They also had a bunch of other Nikes, Jordans, Adidas and Reeboks, but we weren’t really checking them out.
Andy: You, me, bar, beers, buzzed. Wings, shots, drunk. Waitresses, hot. Football, Cornell/Hofstra, slaughter. Then quick nap at my place, and we hit the tiz-own.
Michael: No, I don’t want to do any of that.
Andy: Duh, which is why I was joking about doing it.
I don’t know if it transfers to paper well, but Andy’s monologue on last week’s episode of The Office was so funny, in an unbearable adult-frat boy kind of way. Andy is great new addition to The Office and he has kind of helped to humanize Michael a bit.
Also, we’ve all taken a nap at our friends’ place between drinking while watching a football and drinking at the club later, but planning it ahead of time is so pesimistic and also kind of homoerotic. You should plan to meet some babes at the football bar and sweep them away to the dance club after the game is over, not plan on going home to regroup and try again later. Come on.
