Fishing for Mackerel..

After a long day buying in London, got the train back to the coast and went down to the seafront at Eastbourne with Vicky and the Kids. My dad was fishing for mackerel, on the turn of the low tide fishing up the beach as the water flows back in. Four Fish on one cast out... Must of just caught a passing shoal. Two Big ones are now sizzling on the BBQ this evening...

Urban Industry Vs. Sub.fm - 30th April 2010

Sean had a great idea only a week ago to see if our mate, Raj would fancy running his regular internet radio slot on Sub.fm from the store. A week later we're doing it! Using my old 1210's, Tetris's and Raj's mixers, laptops and speakers we got the office rigged up for broadcast. The fridge was filled with beer, and with 3 dj's the night got underway... A heavy show of Hip Hop, Breaks, Dubstep and DnB...




Raj 'ODESSA' Sidhu getting warmed up...

Spent the Morning at the local zoo with the kids and missus. Compare the Meerkat in this one...


Needless to say i didn't fancy a series of injections in the stomach so made sure we kept out.


Caught the penguins being fed.. Turns out this Heron lives on the Cuckmere Valley near the zoo and pops by twice a day to catch some easy dinner.. Just got the shot as he took for a quick flight..


Caddy Shack anyone?

My favourite blog at the moment..

ONLY NY Summer Arrives

Our US find ONLY NY dropped their Summer collection in to us today... Bit late due to the Volcano but still well received.

We found ONLY via one of the Hype blogs i think, however it was , it was a great find. Solid graphics, good design ethic that cuts through a lot of the dross. Micah and the ONLY guys have a great attitude, just waiting to get my invite to one of their fishing expeditions...

Headed up to London today, Way out west to West Acton to check out the LRG Holiday 2010 collection. Felt like Spring was definitely here even if Summer was a little way off. Long walk up to their Office/Warehouse was a nice refresh after the train and tube ride.







Mahendra took me through the goods.. LRG is heading down a very clean, outdoor inspired route for its October 2010 delivery.. Lots of tonal plaids, melton wools and cotton canvas jackets.



Took the tube right over to the other side of london, Shoreditch bound to catch up with James at Out of Step and Ben at Supra, again for the their respective holiday collections.




After a quick Sausage and Mash lunch and pint across the road we got down to business. Lots of strong Brixton Hats and Beanies, plus some rather tasty jackets in the mix. The Hundreds is always good for a graphic t-shirt, flannel shirt and some great snap back caps. New HUF samples hadn't arrived due to the Icelandic Volcano so will keep that for another day.





Down stairs for the double tag team conclusion with Ben From Supra. I did take a load of pictures of the Holiday 2010 Supra Shoes but under pain of death there's now way i can be publishing them on this blog! I even pixelated the shoes behind him in this shot!! To be honest, Supra have a major problem with chinese rip off's, they try to tackle this by keeping the lines tight and under cover until release. If it's Hot, its Hot i guess.. Got to keep it under wraps.. Anyway, needless to say, there's some great shoes on the way..

This is Harry.. after Harry Potter. He has an exclamation mark on this head as a marking.

This is Barry, a proper Nike fiend, has more shoes than i've had hot dinners.. Don't let the street wear pose fool you, he's taking the piss. Respect to Barry. He's been coming over from Hastings for the last few years and is a true Urban Industry supporter, always worth shooting the breeze over the new deliveries, the state of brands and all that.

If you're in Hastings and need a cut, Barry is your man.

Would you buy a used car from this man? Alvin our Volcom rep packing his car up after checking the tight Holiday collection. Alvin has been in this game a long on both sides of the till. Always comes with some goodies, this time an Egyption Cotton Dressing gown, super heavy with Volcom Branding. Gives me a kinda Dark Sith lord / Ali look..

Having a pop here with my new 50mm lens. Sean, Highorder, took the shot, i need to hget my head round photography again, been a few years since i last shot in anger..

some bright nike's

Nike Quick Strike have been loving these All Court Premium's this season... 5 colour ways down so far. These dropped today, think Washed tennis ball for the colour, bright neon yellow. Looking good with barry modelling them though..
