BIG Week in Dallas!

Even if you don’t watch football, you know Dallas is doing it big this week!

Check out my pre-cap below:

FRIDAY: My 25th birthday. Celebrate with me as I turn a quarter of a century old! I have a little somethin’ somethin’ in store for YOU on Friday, 2/4, so keep an eye on my twitter, shop, and official site for details!

Also happening Friday, Sore Losers play at the Super Hip Hop Bowl! I feel like I need to be there just so I can act a fool to the “8587 (Birthday)” track. See the flyer below…Doors open at 7pm!

SATURDAY: I will be partaking in my FIRST group event! The Good Child brand was born LATE last October — about 3+ months later, The Good Child is rocking the boat with some of Dallas’ finest apparel brands and sneakerheads! I’ll be there with ALL of The Good Child merchandise AND quite possibly the prettiest woman you’ve ever seen in your life will be packaging your purchases for you! See the flyer below for info on Sneaker Bowl XLV…Even begins at 2pm!

SATURDAY CONT.: Also happening Saturday is MatrimonEy Clothing‘s Super Bowl XLV party at the old Centre location (#104 at Mockingbird Station). They’ll have a meet & greet, surprise guests, free liquor (21+) and raffle prizes, so make sure you stop in on your way to the Sneaker Bowl XLV! See the flyer below…Party starts at 2pm!

SUNDAY: Not really much happening Sunday… except you know, an additional 250,000 people are traveling into Dallas to watch a football game! Here‘s a list of changes you can expect to see around Dallas/Fort Worth for the big game.

The Super Bowl XLV starts at 4pm (pre-game show)/6pm (actual game), so make sure you’re set up with tons of beer, snacks, and a comfy The Good Child t-shirt before then!

Learn more about Erin Magee’s brand, MadeMe. I can relate a lot, except for wanting to be a backup dancer for Madonna.

Mean Streets

“These are some mean streets…these are some preppy, mean streets. A lot of popped collars and pink & green here. You gotta be careful.”

Parking Lot the movie

Parking Lot the movie

This is an incredible film – an honest, often humorous look at a culture most see as wasteful.

Aloe Blacc Pandora Station

My Aloe Blacc Pandora station is THE best. Soul AND hip-hop AND across nationalities!

Atama’s Dunny Azteca II Release

Last night, despite the freezing cold (unusual for Dallas), I attended Atama‘s Dunny Azteca II Release/Trading Party. As soon as I got upstairs, (Atama is the colorful upstairs space in Centre), I saw a few cases set up for buying. I also was greeted by Josh Romero, the manager for Atama and pretty rad guy all around.

The shop still had a few Show Me the Munny t-shirts from the incredible custom Munny show back in December. Did you cop one?

Now, let’s take a look at some of the Dunny Azteca II series!

My friend and day job co-worker, Design By Proxy, and I were the first purchases!

He got doubles of the Dunny Azteca picture just above (on top of the semi-truck). I got the one just below…

The purchase that followed mine made a shame outta me…

This kid, Austin, walked up and bought an entire case!

First one out of the box!

Austin was the coolest little man I’d ever met. He even traded Design By Proxy for one of his doubles!

Design By Proxy was looking for one of those 2Tone Dunny‘s, but he could not acquire!

After making my purchase, living through others’ purchases, and not even wanting to trade anything, I chatted it up with Hance (Centre) and Nic (NTX Hip-Hop).

Nic had some of the “throwback” The Good Child stickers! Check it!

Sorry about the camera blur – Nic is super cool and super fast.

I had a chance to check out the new Centre x New Era caps. ::pause:: I want one of them pretty badly.

All in all, it was a chill evening at the Centre & Atama shops – one I needed. I had a good time checking out the merch, meeting new people (including Illtellect), and bullsh•tting with Hance. By the way, keep a lookout – Centre is getting a new set-up on their floor in the near future that I am stoked about (but, I’m not revealing that). It’d be good to keep your eyes on this boutique in general. 

Always coming up. ®
