The end of the world - but no party?

3 posts in one day, but we may be running out of time.

"Hey, I'm just one part of the Large Hadron Collider and I live in Geneva. On Wednesday at 7am your time a little man in a white coat is going to complete a 2 month process of turning switches on that will possibly make me create a blackhole that will instantly swallow the entire planet, sorry about that."

OK, so I guess the chances of this are QUITE small, but the fact is that there is some chance of this. This machine is going to send beams of particles at each other at almost the speed of light, which will create dark matter and possibly a blackhole. The thing is I like dark matter being in space, I don't like the idea of it being on the Swiss/French border.

Either way my main problem is that no-one has thought ahead and got together an "end of the world" party (which even could have been themed on the end of the world party in Rules of Attraction), in fact, the best thing I could find to do on Tuesday night on Time Out was a Japanese Rope Bondage class, but that is a 4 week course, and we may only have till 7am. So I need some ideas for Tuesday night - anyone?

Read about the end of the world here in The Guardian.

Or watch it live on Wednesday morning.

Found Photos

Doing that last post I searched Sam Walker on Google Image and it came out with a polaroid of some guy holding a massive dead fish,well it turns out that there is a whole site of them. Now there is always something quite awesome about found polaroids, but for me a whole bunch of polaroids of red-neck Americans holding massive dead fish in the 90's is off the scale. Check out this first one (above) for example, so Tommy has put his daughters name on the photo as if she had just caught her first fish, that is almost as big as her, also her name is LEAThA?

It's all about the shorts in these last two. Now Buddy HEArd has a pretty good look going on, but Debbie Lee was obviously the worst mother ever. She has completely failed to realise that her son (left of shot) is getting bullied massively for being both fat AND wearing glasses, as she has felt the need to take him FISHING in fluo-pink shorts. ouch.

Sam Walker

So while the rest of the world is swimming around the site at Bestival, i'll be spending the weekend manning the till at Sam Walker, a little clothes shop in Covent Garden. It's just me here so I'll be mainly playing loads of electro and confusing all the "mods" that come in.

The shop used to be on Neal Street and made all it's own leathers, shoes, shirts etc... there is a few bits left that they are still trying to sell off that are absolutely amazing, if you happen to have size 6 feet you could come and get some sick shoes. It also used to be the only shop in Covent Garden where you could buy Fred Perry, and the owner still has the same agreement with them so they still get nice Fred Perry stuff in.

Anyway, if you're in central at all over the weekend come in and say hello, I'm allowed to "haggle" so if you fancy a new Fred Perry or a funny t-shirt (slogans include the classic "easy fuck" and "i heart sheep") i'm sure I can come up with a good deal.

In other news, if you're near a TV I'll be on a couple of the bits for the e4 music re-launch this weekend, so watch that if you fancy seeing me doing a link with Harry from McFly. sweet.

hello accrobeau

I was trying to think for ages what to have as my first post, but my brain aches from last night and I realised all I really wanted to do was watch the video for Coolio's Gangsta's Paradise.

Berlin

Got back from Berlin yesterday after an intense 3 days of being a tourist. This is how it went down. The Solebox Asics sold out last Saturday; there were cues there since Saturday as it was a pretty hyped shoe. Solebox was pretty rad. They have a collection of all their editions around the shop and stock a wide range of Adidas Consortium pieces, Vans Syndicates and all of the Asics exclusives. They also have a wide range of Ice Cream apparels and BAPE goods (if your into that) with some Maharishi stuff thrown in there as well-at competetive prices.

Also if our planning on going any time soon make sure to check out Monsiour Vuong in Mitte (east side) its a Vietnamese restaurant a couple of doors up from the Vans Butchers block (Alte Schönhauser Strasse) the food and interiors are definitely on point.

Solebox here I come, you better have a UK11 ready and waiting.

Carnival

So today was the second day of carnival and what a day it was. We bopped down to the Red Bull Soundsystem show opposite the Portobello Rd covered market. With performances from Toddla T, Heatwave, Mumdance, Warrior Queen, Rusko, Switch and DIPLO it was bound to be a dope show. Not to mention all the free food and drink (big up Red Bull-yet again-no I dont work for them).

With appearances from Jammer, Martelo, Santogold, Sinden, Annie Mac, Daniel Haaksman and Roots Manuva I pretty much saw everyone one would like to see and book within 1 hour.

On Campus

Thats right, The Adidas campus makes a welcome return. For those of you who were at the FP campus launch last year I'm sure these will be pieces to add to your collection. Although the numbers are relatively high they will be a size? and Adidas originals exclusive.

These are based on the original 80's Campus's not the II's which tend to be in the clearout bins of JD stores and the like. Again these are based on the FP model and I think were curated by Wes.

They feature the eversoft pig suede outer and quality leather inner. The insole has also been dropped by half a cm at the back to allow for a better fit and nicer walk and with a slightly wider toebox the suede won't distort.

Theres also a black one but its not too hot.

A little bird told me...

Must you not have balls to wear a racial tee?!

This one is not so much of a secret

Bike Polo International '08

Sunday saw the 100th anniversary of Bike polo being played at Shoreditch Park. The day (and night) saw some of London's finest polo players and Trackstars. With our South London team taking The honourable 2nd place title, it was a good day all round. As most of the bikes being played on were polo bikes, there wasnt a lot to write home about on the stees front bar a few. However man of the moment Ted was able to jump about 3 ft onto a roundabout Island. And a bunch of unicycle riding clowns who played hockey by night challenged the polo boys, only to win 5-0. A big thank you to red bull for the free booze.

The Germans

Georgia

For those of you who watch the news, you will know about the conflict in Georgia. For those of you who dont, the BBC give quite a comprehensive guide on it. Last week I was there only to be evacuated out by French Marines. Im not going to write about politics here, as thats not really what were about. If your interested email me.

Before the war broke out, I was travelling. On the day the conflict broke out I was on the other side of Gori (which saw most of the action). In fear that I would be trapped there and unable to return we drove out straight away.

This was our crew in the derelict airport where we waited for 9 hours with a bunch of frenchmen.

When we got back there was a protest outside the houses of parliament. I joined with the other 200 or so British Georgians to make a stand despite there being no news coverage or general public awareness of it. It was nice to see fellow E-Europeans joining the protest.
