Know?Show Vancouver Pt. 1

I was in Vancity with Harry last week for Know?Show. I hadn’t been to Vancouver since the age of 8 or 9, so everything was sort of new to me. Besides, last time I was there, was a family trip, and I recall spending most of my time in Chinatown and Richmond or Chinatown 2 if you prefer.

As the plane took it’s final descent, nothing but high summits and water surround us. The view was staggering.

The Know?Show itself was held in a venue called the Vancouver Convention center, located right next to the Sailboat inspired Canada place center. Equipped with a green roof, the convention center had one of the dopest ceilings i’ve seen, completely covered in 2 by 4 – like beams.

Fuck it, I’m making a blog category just for ceilings.

Have Heart. Shipwreck. Final Word. Bitter end. Cruel Hand. Broken camera.

A visitor from Vancity

“Are you…20hundred from hypebeast?”

“yeah…who’s this”

Long time buddy from hypebeast, Jolin came by the shop today. It was nice to finally meet. The guy takes great photos, maybe I’ll be able to learn a thing or two. Check out his shit here!

Currently killing it on the 1′s&2′s as I am writing this…Presently playing: It ain’t hard to tell – nas.

It’s funny, this post feels like a tweet, how often can you blog something in the same moment it’s happening, AND have good pictures for it.

Purple Drank & Griot.

I was feeling the hood pumpin in me today, so I went to eat Haitian griot, but to truly fulfill my experience of eating like a black person, I had to complement my rice & beans and pork, with the one and only Purple Drank.

P.S.: Ben Trep, everyone tells me your the food specialist around, so if you’re reading this, I dare you to go. It’s called Meli-Melo on Jarry street. You gotta go to the back of the grocery store to find the hidden counter…(everyone = maura)

Neek

My homie from Vegas just started a new blog called The Breakfast of Champions dedicated to critiquing, with a humorous turn, of daily banal life. Knowing Neek, this will be something of great interest…Look forward to seeing what this website will bring to the blogosphere. But from what I see and read so far, seems to me like a breathe of fresh air from all the coolguy blogs (i’ll include mine as one of those annoying coolguy blogs if I may)
