Santa put Sour Diesel in my stocking...
1. I think instead of anger management and all that new age hooey, aggressive types should be forced by law to wear a red ballon tied to their wrists and a length of 4 feet of metallic ribbon. I mean, try being all pissed off with a balloon tied to your wrist..... Its like being angry and eating cotton candy... can't be done. Not to mention, who's gonna be intimidated by the big baby wif a bawoon on his wist!
Dear Levi's,

A tale of two cities
So, two nights ago, I was blessed with a ticket last minute, to see the man, the legend, the stoner, Willie Nelson. Did I want to go? Fuckin' aye right I did. That selfish cock-sucker Johnny Cash up and died before I ever got to see him in concert, and I can only assume the Willie has been holding on, waiting for my bearded mug to show up in the crowd so he can finally hang up ol' trigger and smoke a bone.......

Mister Freedom Bronco Champ
Good shots that represent the colors of leather, and the red plaid lining (not pink...ahem.... red)
The horsehide is aniline dyed, as it was back in the 40's-60's. This is a surface dying treatment, that will crackle and fade overtime. It will reveal the fleshy colored inner part of the leather in the areas of abrasion and wear. These areas will also darken down once oiled, as the pores of the leather have been opened up from the abuse. I also like how the stars are sewn in with a slight allowance outside of the stitch lines. The corners will start to curl and age quickly. Keeps them more on the rugged side.... not too tidy.
Double snap collar closure.
Why romanticize the past??
Do I like certain things just because they're old? Yeah, probably. There's a life and a depth that the accumulated patina of 70 years of existence will exert on a piece of wood/leather/metal/denim....... But. I'm also not wrong to say that shit was probably also just a lot fucking cooler back in the day too. No federal governement and corporate media doing everything they can to infantilize the populous....

The Drinks Are On Us
Starting tomorrow through December 6, legendary Lower East Side bar Max Fish is setting up temporary shop in Miami. The pop-up Max Fish is the brainchild of Aaron Bondaroff (“The Downtown Don”) and Al Moran, the creative directors of OHWOW, an Art Basel Miami Beach satellite fair known for showing the work of downtown darlings like Terence Koh, Nate Lowman, Dan Colen, Agathe Snow, and Ryan McGinley.
Regulars at Max Fish in New York, Bondaroff and Moran knew the dive’s twentieth anniversary would coincide with Art Basel and its attendant debauchery, and so approached owner Ulli Rimkas about bringing it south for the week. Bondaroff rented out a small bar that had just closed up shop, and Rimkas agreed to staff the space with all of his regular New York bartenders. Max Fish in Miami will be outfitted with artwork by patrons of the regular Max Fish scene, including Neck Face, Mark Gonzales, Steve Powers, Angela Boatwright, Andrew Kou, and Wes Lang, and will feature live performances by bands like Gang Gang Dance (Saturday night promises a “special secret performance”). The bar will also host the after parties for OHWOW’s “It Ain’t Fair,” which features work by Rita Ackermann, KAWS, and Harmony Korine, among many others, as well as for Lance Armstrong and Nike's “Stages” show, which makes a stop in Miami this week.
Max Fish, 28 N.E. 14th St., Miami, Florida. Open December 2 through December 6, 6 p.m. to 4 a.m.
