EVERYTHING IS IMPERMANENT
Rain, rain, rain....this after snow, snow and snow...and a nice sunny day or two in between.
You honestly gotta love the NYC weather how it teases you for a couple of days then throws a crappy day in there just to remind you that it's not all sweet. I've always said that you will never get a perfect mix of every season quite like we get here, that's more of a look on the bright side of things.
What's pretty ill is the light show I was awoken to at 5 am in the form of a fire breathing sewer that popped it's lid right near my place of rest. After calling the night due to weather conditions, I hear 5 consecutive BOOMS! echo throughout the buildings. My first reaction is always to run to the window like the busy body that I am, only to see inferno spewing from the ground.
Was a sight to behold to say the least, and after muttering an "awesome" I went soundly back to sleep as it had never happened. Woke up to NY1 giving the real deal behind the fire, caused by rain runoff. The best thing of the report was the reaction of the woman who's car was smashed by a flying manhole.
(laughs) "You know what? Everything's impermanent.".... (great outlook)

NO NEWS IS BAD NEWS
It's been real quiet on the Upscene front as of late as we've been in the bunkers developing our new drops. Quiet before the storm if you will, samples have started rolling off the delivery trucks into our hands. We can't wait for everyone to see what we have in store this spring/summer. Check out this mini peep of our newest snapbacks we've developed for all our vets who's been putting in work.

HOW TO MAKE IT IN AMERICA (REVIEW)
Just finished checking out the first episode of How to Make it in America, and I gotta say it's actually pretty good. Being built as the "New York Entourage" might be some ginormous shoes to fill but it really does a great job of contrasting the actual "making it" in Hollywood to the "trying to make it" feel that is New York City. The main character Ben seems to be at a crossroads in his life, his success thus far have been through his past achievements in "making dope shirts" and his ability to get into the cities best parties. His girl friend Rachel left him a little while back for some rich d-bag and he's stuck folding jeans for "the man" at Barney's. He's a breath away from quiting and falling in line, when his friend Cam saves him from a miserable conforming death. Sounds like at least 5 of my friends if you switch around the sitch here and there. Being a native NYer its seems as they capture the essence of party hard, love hard, work hard all along with a coming to age story. HTMA is the journey while Entourage is the destination, and they always say getting there is half the fun. First episode is a go....we'll see how the rest come along. Click the link bellow for the first episode.
Lots of Dipset being played, noticed?

HELLZ BELLZ X VANS
Hellz Bellz X Vans event was pretty epic to say the least, one of the best parties we've been to in a little while. We love good people, good music, and good drank. What more can you ask for in this hectic and cold world?
THE DIRTY BOMBERS
We uncovered a couple of the shots from the Dirty Bomber shoot we did a while back. The photos got lost in translation along the way but we randomly found them today. Better late then never I always say.
HAITI : 6 DAYS LATER

Really breaks my heart to see what's going on down there. However this sort of thing has been going on for years in many 3rd world countries across the world. It always takes tragedy to strike first before we take notice, that's just human nature. Makes you really put in prospective the daily gripes we deal with, how we handle them and also the appreciation we have for our blessings. Our thoughts and prayers are with those dealing with this plight, both in Haiti and on US soil.
Please if you decide to donate to the cause, do your research on your organization. Make sure your honest assistance is received by honest people. Throwing money or clothing into a black hole may or may not reach the people who really need it. I know many people are making the right choice. That's all we can ask for.
Stay up.
