What not to do in the OC…
July 24, 2009 – 10:38 am | Comments Off | submitted by John iD Agency

Yesterday Mark, Emily, and I checked out the Agenda tradeshow in Huntington Beach and the US Open of Surf. I’ll let them show the good stuff off, but I would rather showcase the bad side.

Let’s start with what not to wear in OC (or anywhere for that matter)…unless you’re a sponsored athlete then you pretty much have to.

After a nice dinner at Habana in Costa Mesa. Mark and I hit up Waterfront for the LIRA clothing x Agenda party as we wanted to keep it mellow for the evening and save our energy and our livers for tonight’s Fatlace party at iLounge (if you plan on attending please arrive “hella” early).

How not to dance…

Lebron James Gets Dunked On
July 22, 2009 – 3:35 pm | Comments Off | submitted by John iD Agency

Here is the first video of Lebron James getting dunked by Xavier College’s 20 year old Jordan Crawford. This happened 2 weeks ago during the Lebron James Skills Academy camp during an after camp pick-up game. This is the first video to be leaked. Nike tried to confiscate all the videos that were taken during the game, but of course someone with a camera got smart and was able to sell to the highest bidder. Later tonight TMZ.com will be releasing another version from a better angle and I will be sure to follow-up to this post with that as well.

Damn how do you get dunked on at your own camp by a college dude that’s only 20?

A Vegas Weekend
July 21, 2009 – 7:30 pm | 2 Comments | submitted by John iD Agency

After a long Formula DRIFT weekend I headed back to Las Vegas for the 2nd weekend in a row. This time it was for some relaxation (somewhat) and a wedding. Luckily, my friend let me stay at his condo on the strip, which made it easier to escape the madness of all the tourists and casino section.

One night was spent at club PURE at Caesar’s Palace as I had a few friends spinning there. This definitely had it’s perks as we were able to stay away from the crowds and also have free bottle service in the DJ booth. Good hanging out with all the DJ’s from DJ Reflex, DJ Hollywood, DJ Ikon, and even Eric D-Lux.

The wedding was short and sweet and it was off to the reception. Good times and great meeting new people. Vegas can be amazing, but I need to stop gambling so much especially at New York New York and Monte Carlo…I’m gonna stick to the Wynn / Encore and Hard Rock from now on. Lesson learned.

Tee Thursday continues this time with a collab between Rogue Status and The Wild Ones. This shirt drops on Saturday and will be available at the Rogue Status shop in Venice and online.

I dig the comic book vibe of this tee and The Wild Ones character, “The Bandit” is great complete with his signature spray paint can.

If you’re in the LA area stop by Rogue Status shop in Venice for some food, drinks, and a good time.
