THE GOOD OLD DAYS

The Limps and me about a year and a half ago at the Patta x Asics release. We camped out there which pretty much ended in a fiasco that is too long to share with you now... Buy me a beer I´ll tell it to you, it´s a classic.

OBAMA 08

Yeah yeah so he won, big fucking deal... Maybe the States will start Emerging any time soon.

SHAMELESS PLUGS

Will be attending this event as a master or something like that...Ontourke will be there as well as Gee from Patta & Lee from State. Good stuff. www.blend.nl

THE GRIME

Zo Moeilijk from Nijmegen released their album in Nijmegen as well. It was released on Top Notch which is Holland´s biggest record label. They are good, fresh and to top it all off... Grimey.

Winne & Defill who made all the artwork for the cd as well as the Controle shirts.

Nosa is one of the two rappers leading Zo Moeilijk. The guy had a blast and some drinks...

Winne & Roscovitch.

Then I went back to Arnhem where my old job was. Frisco Store was looking stocked... Still love it though.

Frisco just got The Hundreds Footware in.

My Arnhem Boys, Harry aka De Keyser Oneline, Limps and Eric the photographer.

And then like always in Arnhem we got beef with some fucking jocks. Looking tough is hard on you ain´t it ?

Harry is heavily into Polaroids. I like ´em as well. Check out Polaroid Tuesdays on http://www.friscostore.nl/

I fell asleep at the Limps´ crib. Most of the time the kid is broke, but he still has a pornchannel hook up.

MY CUP OF TEA

I went to London once about a year ago for Nike SB. Really loved the atmosphere and the architecture and because of the short stay I wanted to go back soon. Now my mom asked me if I wanted to go to London with her in December and of course I couldn´t let her down. Looking forward to that one.

POPS

If you didn´t already know, I have been heavily into skateboarding for over 12 years. Lately I wasn´t too hyped about it, but when you see ads like this you really want to get out there and do the same. The power of Pappalardo...

FASHION

The Emerging Markets will give you a little insight on what went down in Nijmegen/Arnhem this weekend... Stay tuned.

TAKA HAYASHI

Vans & Active Mailorder got together with Taka Hayashi for some next level work on O.G. Vans silhouettes. For Active´s ´Drop Sneakers Not Bombs` project they customized a Half Cab and a J-Lay. I love this shit in a hybrid kind of way. Release will be November.

ZOMODO

Zo Moeilijk just released their album ´Nijmeegse Modo` with renowned label Top Notch. And let me tell you it´s a banger. Go and get it at your local Dutch record store.
