Push it to the limit...

Thanks to recent uploading sprees (dare I say, a bonanza), I've hit the monthly limit at my hosting site. More pictures coming - soon - but a hiatus until the 31st is in order. Maybe this will be the (much-?) needed impetus pushing me over the edge of actually making content-filled drops rather than a blast of photographic waste. Holla.

Still enthused by that Staple Varsity.

_Dance!_

Friday night, I rolled with Victor to the Dport basketball court, where
Rachel awaited.


Atticus bread. Free at 11 PM err'day on the skreet.




The basketball court doubles as a dance studio... the
wisdom of which is highly debatable, seeing as how the
mirrors are non-retractable and there are basketballs
flying around [||].


Rachel invited Vic over to learn a dance from TV's own So You
Think You Can Dance...


Yup was in town for the night and down to ride.


Mohlei getting down to business.






On the real, I miss that mustache already.


A chorus line.

Rachel's Surprise Party

Monday10.13.2008

After prayer on Monday night, we gathered to cele-
brate the anniversary of Rachel's matriculation into
the world.


Faithful KASY husband.


Waiting... biding our time, letting momentum build.


The fuse is lit.


Jae, in preparation for the night's entertainment.

Rachel is a connoisseur of teh R'n'B. So some of the guys
decided that a thoughtful birthday gift would be a very
personal rendition of Ne-Yo's Closer.


The ever-prepared KASY father.

Surprise!












Joe, thoroughly embarrassed by the second verse.


Ben, nonchalant by the third verse.


Max, Rachel's dance partner, and Emily: posted up.










Claire's.














Joe mad ticklish.


Mad ticklish.

For your consideration/enjoyment

NYC / Staple varsity / working late nights

_The_road_back_

My dad and I rose around 7:30 Monday morning in
order to hit the road and get me to Philly on time for
the 8:40 bus back to New York.

After arriving on-time and circling the bus "stop" near
Madison Square Garden for 20 minutes, I hit the
skreets of New York at 11 AM. I'd made sure to keep my
Monday schedule clear through the evening, to account
for travel time, so I had the rest of the morning and
afternoon free. So of course it was time for a straight up
gear hunter mission.

Two downtown trains later, I was straight bougie
stepping out in SoHo for all the usual suspects: Union,
Clientele, Uniqlo, H&M, Y-3, and the like.

Uniqlo has a new robot assistant.




Dude is programmed to make eye contact with
customers and respond to simple questions.

Most the time I was in store, he was wandering
around the womens' sweaters though. Not a good
look for your kind, duke.

My original target was Reed Space, Staple Design's retail location.
However, remembering vaguely that their shop hours began
somewhere in the afternoon, I wandered around SoHo until
around 12:30, then headed over towards the L.E.S.


Arriving at Reed, I noticed their drapes still drawn, so I bummed
around outside until they finally opened.

_Staple_Design_Varsity_

My actual target on Monday, however, wasn't
technically Reed Space: I was actually straight gunning
to come through the Reed Annex, the next-door bargain
bin that replaced Reed Space's old sales/clearance
section.

Reed Annex is the bomb because not only are all gears
marked down 30-70% in the spot, but they are always
stocked with plenty of hard-to-find Staple Design gear
from the previous season, all marked down by a good
30-50%.

In my case, I have had my eye on the black CMU Staple
varsity jacket since it dropped in the Winter 07 lineup.

Of course, at the time it cost a cool $350... not a good look
for me at the time.

But with a little more money in the bank, a 50% price
reduction, and winter quickly approaching, the timing
just felt right this time around.




The best part? The chenille patches in this colorway match two pieces
from Bust Out season 2 - the fitted cap and the MAN VS. CITY tee -
to a T.

_Around_Campus_




I'm calling it now, suspenders are back.


Nan found shoes that fit.

That night, I had to prepare some notes for the next
day; Joe had a paper; Alice was studying. So, after UCW
prayer, I headed over to Alice's apartment for an
unplanned sleepover.




Alice made eggs.
