Non-Stop
Posted: 03/03/2009Wow, just now finally able to catch my breath. Things have been a whirlwind as of late.
We last left you with an invite to the MOCA to celebrate the release of SF4 (on Capcom’s dime, of course). Holy shit, dude… we didn’t think ALL of you would show up. It was a madhouse! It got so bad our friend/guest artist Steve Barron, who worked his ass off for three days on our Akuma-themed cabinet, was denied entry. Fire-marshals with axes were calling the shots. By 8:30 PM, if you were outside, you were toast. At least you were in good company. G4 couldn’t even get back in.
Then we headed to the annual fashion trade show in Vegas, MAGIC. Las Vegas is funny. It’s the city you are most excited going to, and the most excited to leave. At least we got to hang with Greg and Ease from Mishka, and Simone from Tokidoki. We also got to see one hell of a burlesque show at Forty Deuce (on Ben Sherman’s dime, of course).
Back in LA, I ran into Greg and Ease in front of Johnny Cupcakes (with Johnny himself) on Melrose. They extended an invite to their little going away party before they fled back to NYC. Luckily they left behind their personal DJ, Gina Turner. Not only did she rock the house that evening, she protected it brilliantly from an onslaught of underage ravers. By dropping the beat and turning on the lights, she snapped them out of their K-holes and shipped them right out the door.
