As the year comes to a close, it seems like the appropriate time for us to discuss our favorite things of the 00’s.

For this occasion, we held a round table discussion of sorts with several panelists, including Nick DePaula (SoleCollector), Kaezel Sangil (Fatlace/LadyLike), Illecism (Fly High), Neek (Where’s Neek?), Ryan Lindow (CityState), and Matt Carney (BKWLD).

Feel free to add in your input in the comments section of these entries.

We were fortunate enough to host our One Year party at the shop this past Friday night.

The night featured music by CITYSTATE and DJ Whores, a photography exhibition by Colby Elrick and Colin Arlen (Macaframa), and a couple of ill decorative cakes courtesy of The Frosted Cake Shop.

I want to thank our out of town friends like Benny, Hiromi, and Levi (Benny Gold), who were gracious enough to drive out for the night. Hidehiko (California Street), Joe (House of Commons) and good ol’ Neek (Where’s Neek) even came out from SF and LV.

I also have to thank all of our sponsors for the night: 10 Deep, Flying Coffin, Mishka, HACrticial, and Vitamin Water.

More than anything, I want to thank all of our friends and family who made it out. Without all of you, this would not be possible.

Cheers.

The High Life installation went up yesterday at the shop.

Papes and Brian checking things out

Tim Mar and company proving that you can’t live the High Life without lawn chairs.

The Hibachi is a must.

Thank you to everyone who made it out. New Lucky Lefty’s tees will be available starting this week.

This Saturday. Reception starts at 5:00 pm.

I take photos and lurk.

Name: Neek
Location: Las Vegas

The don of whatsonewearing.com, Stussy LV underboss, Hundreds photoblogger, lover of Japanese girls and Jen.Lu, WDYWT legend, and expert lurker, Neek is, by far, one of the most interesting people we’ve ever crossed paths with. Keep a look out for this guy (especially if you are a Japanese girl).

Be sure to check him out at Where’s Neek

Today is Hina Matsuri in Japan, also known as Girls Day. All over the country, families wish their daughters a successful and happy life.

Hopefully, they will be lucky enough to meet a guy like new late night talk show host Jimmy Fallon.

Today, we celebrate Japanese girls everywhere.

For some reason, it doesn’t seem right ending this post without giving a shout out to NEEK.
