After cruising around the internet for a bit I came across this little gem of a video.

Vegas for a week...

First off if you ever go to Las Vegas don't ever stay at the luxor, the only good part about it is; its connected to Mandalay Bay. Anyways Vegas for a whole week would be rough on anyone unless your a stripper. Our week in a nut shell consisted of the most amazing mexican food for close to every meal, jack daniels and Jim beam, seeing old friends, meeting new friends, eye candy at the mandalay, and betting on black at all the wrong times. Well worth the time though...

Just a reminder about the monthly photo contest. It ends a few days earlier than normal because of the short month so get your pictures in by the end of next week. Also check back the beginning of next week for a recap of our productive slash wild week in vegas.

We are showing the new collection down in las vegas for the Pool Tradeshow. Chad is handling most of the duties, while the rest of us are indulging in some of the sinning this city has to offer.

Ake.

The spring collection brings a few new colorways, as well as a couple reissued colors of the original Ake. Shown above is the Ake in canary yellow, go to the online store to look at the rest.

On the spot

Every month or so we are going to start highlighting a store we feel represents our brand well.


ALTER from NYC established itself in the up and coming neighborhood of Greenpoint Brooklyn which is just a 15 minute stroll from Williamsburg. The mens shop just celebrated its second B-day this month, while the womens shop, which is located right across the street, is about six months along. The atmosphere of both shops is a mash up of textures, reclaimed pieces and structures that were conceived and created by the owners, Tommy Cole and Roy Caires. ALTER's characteristic style is mixing hand picked Vintage items and blending them with new and interesting designers from all over North America. Design is their muse and giving it to their customers at very affordable prices has spread the word of ALTER all over the world. They are also launching an online store that should be up around march, so keep your eyes out for that.

- Shop hours Monday: Closed, Tuesday- Friday 1- 9 p.m, Saturday 12- 9 p.m and Sunday 12- 8 p.m

Words to live by.

intelligence, put them on with care, and then forgotten all
about them."

If you dont listen to The Black Keys we already feel bad for you, but the singer Dan Auerbach's solo album comes out on the 10th of February. This album will probably be one of the best to come out in 09. You can check out the whole album on his myspace. Its amazing cant stop listening to it.

February is a busy month for us. We are attending two trade shows to show off the new stuff in non other than sin city. The compass show is on Feb 12-13, our show room oak will be representing us so come say whats up to "bear".
