Our favorite local point guard/filmmaker is back! B-Diddy is flashing his range and balls. The former Maroon 6 member and now Clippers and Internet Superstar is going solo. Ladies and Gents, “Maroon Boom” front man…. Baron Davis (BoomDizzle)!

How many collabs is Supreme on right now? Shit. But I gotta say, the fabric looks niiiiice. Check the interview with Supreme NY manager Charles Lamb in the new Sneaker Issue of Vapors. I think you can click through to it up there in the uppermost left corner. (Wait, what is this, The Brady Bunch?)
Picture stolen directly from my peoples at Proper. Obviously. Hit them up.
Whoa. In4mation ups the ante yet again, this time with a little help from Vans via this denim/houndstooth version of the Steve Caballero classic. The gum rubber outsole is a good look, and if you skate ‘em and wear through the denim, more houndstooth underneath is exposed. I’ll be you can throw them in the washer with some toxic chemicals and end up with some real hesh frayed and acid-washed shoes too.
As my ace Piney said in her email, “super uber limited edition.” 500 pairs available only through In4mation’s site and their store at 1050 Ala Moana in Honolulu. Not due out till 12/12, plenty of time to get your sidewalk camping gear together.
Over the course of Shark Week on Discovery (which I’ve just finally finished on my beloved Tivo, I really should make more time for TV), something unusual happened.
Mike Kassak is this surfer/skater that used to be the ad assistant or something at Hustler Magazine. When I worked at Big Brother (then owned by Larry Flynt), he was probably the only person I could relate to, since Dave Carnie is too smart for me and everyone else was working on the first season of Jackass. He’s now married to Rita over at DVS.
Long story short, there was a show documenting great white shark attacks on surfers and divers, and one of the surfers mentioned was Mike Kassak. They mentioned his name like five times as a witness to a pretty vicious chomping. How many surfers named Mike Kassak can there be?
I’ve since asked Mike and his wife about it, and they both act coy. In fact, I just sent Rita an email, and she wrote back, “That’s funny–someone else was asking him if it was him too…”
No answers. No more shark shows. Just that Bear Grylls douchebag drinking liquid wrung from elephant turds. [Sigh.]
I used to live right across the road from Cock and Bull in Santa Monica. I only went to the bar once, to meet this guy Mike Piscitelli, a photographer I met through Jason Dill. (They used to do that clothing company Fucking Awesome together.) I don’t remember what Mike and I talked about, but I drank two pints of Boddington’s pretty quickly, then walked home. As far as I know, Mike has gone on to be a really successful photographer, I think?
Considering this night of boozy olympics is hosted by Travis Graves of Mt. Egypt and the inimitable Clyde Singleton, it should prove more eventful than that forgettable night.
Look Daggers sounds rad: Mars Volta keyboardist Ikey Owens teaming with L.A. underground rap hero 2Mex of Visionaries. Since I like Mars Volta and 2Mex, this is like the best of both worlds. (Which reminds me: remember Best of Both Worlds, the Jay-Z x R Kelly album? That must be one of the worst albums ever. “Jigga, Kelly, not guilty…” Hahaha…) Anyway, since this album doesn’t involve any hyper-inflated egos or statutory rape cases hanging around its neck, it ought to be that much better. It’s due out September 30.
God I love using X to denote any kind of combination. If I ever get married, it’ll have to have “PJC X Mary Jane Rottencrotch LE Exclusive” on the invites–only 10 will be made to keep the guppies off the trail. (And don’t get your panties in a bunch, feminists; MJ Rottencrotch is a joke from Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket.)
