A day in the life of Philly

LAst week

philly — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 02:17:43 +0000

Stayed at the Mondrian Hotel on Sunset Blvd. This hotel is the only hotel in LA that has a topless swimming pool. I never knew these kinds of hotels existed. A lot of celebrities such as Britney Spears come here to relax and party. This is the place to see a lot of fake boobs and plastic people. haha. Definitely interesting.

A topless guest with some dude with a boner just chillin next to her like nothing is going on. Wow!!!

Passed by the The Montalban Theater last Thursday. They just had a ?uest Love event the prior night. He just released his new Air Force 1 shoe. The gold edition is going for $2500 on ebay. WTF ???

Fatlace Mark standing in front of the poster he designed.

Filmed the 88 Boadrums show at the La Brea Tar Pits last Friday. I started my day at 6:30am filming a timelapse of the whole stage getting build. By the time it was noon, I already got a little sun burned on my nose. But the show was crazy sick. 88 drummers playing at 8:08pm for 88 minutes straight. I couldn’t hear a thing when the show was over. Ear Plugs would have been a good idea.

CanonBall Eric in the house.

And Now…

Went to check out the Fatlace Hellaflush car meet this past weekend in Burlingame. Got there a little pass noon. When I arrived, Al and the Gang were leaving the show to head out to SF with their Ruckus. Didn’t get a chance to film them, but I was able to take a few snaps.

Here is a little video of the day.

Kero One at the Cellar this Tuesday!!!

philly — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 21:30:25 +0000

Next week’s guest is confirmed and we are definitely excited to have SF’s own KERO ONE comin’ through to rock shit with us!

Often compared to the styles of Common, Strange Fruit Project, and The Roots, Kero One is a full time deejay, producer, emcee, and record label owner from the San Francisco bay.

Since 2003, Kero One has released over a dozen 12" records on his own imprint "plug label", collaborated with artists such as Grand Puba, Ben Westbeech (Giles Peterson, UK), Aloe Blacc, Dj Mitsu, Ohmega Watts, and toured all over the world performing his songs and/or deejaying parties to move dancefloors alongside the likes of KRS 1, EPMD, DJ Kentaro, DJ Cash Money, Ugly Duckling, DJ Mitsu , Blu + Exile.

Kero one’s first full length hiphop album release entitled "Windmills Of The soul” garnered the attention of magazines such as Rolling Stones, URB, XlR8R and was called one of the best hiphop albums of 2006 by "Remix magazine" and Blues and Soul Magazine. In addition, the album climbed to top spots on International sales charts at record stores as well as ITunes digital downloads.

Currently, Kero One is currently finishing up his 2nd sophmore solo album which is set to drop summer 2008. Fans can expect the same attention to detail and soulful feeling as the first album but this time with a exposition of growth and maturity as a writer, composer, vocalist and arranger.

Went to Yone’s photo exhibit last week in LA to shoot some more footage for the Yone DVD.

His name on the door was spelled wrong.

Yone wasn’t trippin at all, he was just laughing the whole time.

All you need is some black electrical tape to fix the problem.

Setting up the photos.

Kenta and Yu in the house, or shop.

Lots of people came by to check out the photos and also for the open bar provided by Monster drinks.

Yasu came by to join the festivities and to see some breasteses.

Yone and Eric Haze. Haze had a show that night right down the street too.

Just picked up the all new super limited iPod Nano Mini Extreme. It has a built in mic, speakers and is a 1 gigger and half the size of the previous Nano. All this for under $20. Hot stuff!!! lol

We’re A-Ok

philly — Mon, 12 May 2008 10:02:33 +0000

A 7.8 earthquake just hit China a few hours ago. It was 900 miles from Beijing, but we felt the ripple effects from it. No major damage up here in Beijing, but I’m sure there is a lot in Chengdu, the epicenter of the quake. Lets pray that there’s not to many casualties.

Ni hao

philly — Sat, 10 May 2008 22:33:49 +0000

I hate it when people leave their window shade up during the in flight movies. The flight attendant even asked people to shut them so people can sleep. But this faggot ass chauncey decides to leave his window shade up the whole duration of the 12hr flight. No sleep time for me.

L- Flying somewhere over Siberia. R- Hello China

L-They built a new airport in Beijing for the Summer Olympics. But its not done yet. A lot of the buildings here are still under construction and it looks like they are going to need a miracle to get all the buildings completed by this August.
R- Grandma and grandson just got dropped off by this guy. All 3 were riding at the same time. Pretty cool and dangerous.

Chili Willy

philly — Mon, 05 May 2008 20:50:14 +0000

Many thanks to Defdiggs (SRxMM), who just came back from Hawaii, he brought me back some frozen Zippy’s Chili. This is one of the top 5 reasons I love going back to Hawaii.

Today is also Defdiggs B-Day. So if you see him skatin through the streets of SF today, or poundin some wild turkey shots at some bar, make sure to holla!!!

Happy B-Day Chadster!!

The BBQ video

philly — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 18:08:35 +0000

Got the call from Mark in the morning about a little bbq at his house. So we rolled over there in the afternoon with my new gadget. Just having some fun filming test footage of random things.

The V1U has a slow motion feature on it, but its in Low Res. . It’s a lot of fun to use, but the picture looks like crap because its heavily compressed. Shot this a few weeks ago with some friends.

808 Love

philly — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 05:56:48 +0000

Much thanks to the in4mation homies who have been keeping me fitted through out the years, since the Define days. And also Ian K for hookin up the Hawaii Stussy T’s. Thanks so much!!!

My friend Chris flew up to SF for the day to go kick it, actually not even for the day, just for a few hours. Ended up grabbing some lunch and immediately after, went skating for 3 hours, then he flew back to LA, then back home to Yokohama. He got to chill with the Fresh Prince for a day taking photos of him.

Check out some of his work. ChrisOnePoint8

Chris J- Backside Tailslide Shuvs Out 3rd try after not skating for more than a year. Dope.

Mecca Graphics 1997

philly — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 23:07:45 +0000

About 11 years ago, before Fatlace existed, there was Mecca Graphics. A one stop shop for all your graphical needs. Here is a commercial we filmed for 360 Video issue#2. Mark, Rob and I were all a lot thinner back then.

Finally

philly — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 18:21:38 +0000

Finally, like FTC’s first title of their video, just finished up the DVD box set. Be on the look out.

New Spot

philly — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 03:40:39 +0000

Finding new spots to skate in SF is like finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I must have hit the jackpot because this spot is 5 mins away from my house. City College SF just got renovated with some new buildings and really nice ledges all around. Hurry up and skate it before it gets knobbed off.

Yu’s back

philly — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 23:57:38 +0000

Yu is back in SF from his 3 month trip back home to Japan. Its been over 3 months since he had a carne asada burrito from La Guadalajara.

While he was in Japan, he was working hard channeling spirits for money. Check out this video of Yu channeling a lady’s spirit who is believed to have been murdered a few months ago in this love hotel somewhere in Yokohama. Creepy shit!!!

Kanto Tuners

philly — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 17:56:19 +0000

People like to rip our DVDs and put them on youtube all the time. Its great for everybody, but sucks for us. Our DVD sales drop which means we cannot go out and produce the next DVD. I try and find these tubers and politely ask them to take our videos down, and they usually do, but more and more keep showing up. It’s a endless battle. Well here is a clip from one of our DVD, Kanto Tuners. If you like what you see, you can check out more at JDM Insider
