Drago Endorses: LOLs are the new Thumbs-Downs
Last summer was all about “Hands up, Thumbs down” this summer is about LOLs.

Ps. It’s supposed to be LOL, not LOJ.

Last night we were at The Ugly Mug in southeast DC and we had the pleasure of drinking with a group of really cool Gallaudet students. Gallaudet is a college in DC that is almost exclusively for deaf people. They invented the football huddle.

Barak Obama is one of the younger men to ever run for president and has been using this fact to try to connect to our generation. Even though at 45 he could easily be our dad, he looks younger than he is and he needs to play that up as much as possible.
In order to appeal to the internet generation, Obama is using many of the tools that the internet has to offer. He has a Facebook account, a Flickr account, YouTube, and even his own version of MySpace where you can talk about how great he is.
We’ve added him as a friend on Facebook, but it begs an interesting question. Do we really want the next president to know that we are attending “Jeff’s B-Day Shitshow?”

Brake Fast Records is one of our favorite up and coming Baltimore hip hop crews. They always put on a good stage show and they have been getting to open for some great national rap acts in the Baltimore clubs. The only criticism that we have about them is, while they all obviously like and respect each other, they should not all be on the same stage at the same time. They each have their own energy and direction, and when they perform together there is a visible tension between them. Fortunately, they have been getting enough attention together that they have started performing separately.

Back in the days when we were just starting to seriously consider starting a clothing brand for real, we co-hosted a party with College Life Magazine. And when we say co-hosted, what we really mean is that DJ LS from 360 Nightlife called us up and was like “hey, bring some t-shirts to this party at Eyebar and start promoting yourself, I’ll send out a MySpace message about it.”
Why We Fight is a documentary about September 11th and the war that followed. Yeah, I know we are all tired of this whole situation and we’ve all heard that “We’ll be greated as liberators” sound bite and scoffed at it dozens of times, but this movie is different from a lot of the rest of the stuff out there.
Why We Why fight goes deep into the origin of Saddam’s power (hint: we gave it to him), it speaks on the integral part that business contractors play in wars and how they got to that point, it analyzes the part that the media and marketing play in convincing a populace that they need to go to war.

This art installation is on display at the Hirshhorn Gallery in DC. It’s probably like 10′x8′ or so. Can you imagine the epic Warhammer games that you could play on this table? Or like the stop-motion Pikmin level reenactments that you could create? We could rule YouTube with an iron fist! The nerdy parts of YouTube, at least.

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:
