A Family Affair
Unless you’ve been in Outer Space this past week you’ll know that all roads yesterday led to The Hundreds Block Party on the corner of Fairfax and Rosewood in Los Angeles. I’ll leave it to Bobby to give you what I'm sure will be a way more detailed report – http://www.thehundreds.com/ – but in the meantime here are a few pictures to whet your appetites. For those of you who have never been to a party put on by The Hundreds, these boys know how to get down. The sun was shining, there were girls everywhere, the music was off the hook and there was no half stepping when it came to the food.
The burgers and dogs were under the careful supervision of Ben who made sure no one went home hungry.
Everyone in the neighbourhood turned up to show some love and Dennis from Crooks & Castles and Omar from Commonwealth were rolling deep and also brought a tent along to keep the sun off everyone’s faces.
It wasn’t just a local thing though. Jason formerly from Vapors and now running things at Tower Records – Yes Tower Records – came down from Sacramento for the day and was kicking it with Brett from Estate LA.
The guys from Fruition in Las Vegas were up in the spot.
The Huf crew from San Francisco and the Inquiring Mind gang from Toronto were also all getting down.
Meanwhile around the corner Flight Club opened up its doors to give the crowd a little teaser of what lies in store and Damani from Flight Club and Dame Ca$h from Twelve Bar/Cliquenmove took a little time to talk kicks and things.
The store looks amazing and will no doubt be taking the West Coast sneaker game to the next level. If you look hard you may be able to make out a little heat behind the back of the three of us representing for Cartel Goods / Riottt, Flight Club and Twelve Bar – Sky is there anything you don’t do ???!!!
Then all of a sudden everything went crazy. A helicopter appeared out of nowhere and the good old LAPD showed up in force with nightsticks and bullet proof vests. The Hundreds had a permit, there was nothing going on but good vibes but the cops weren’t having it and no one wanted to mess with them. Within minutes it was all over and everyone was gone.
For a moment I thought they might have been looking for me for trying to strangle Yuri from Warp Magazine but that wasn’t the case at all.
They just weren’t down with a bunch of friends all partying and having a good time and I guess in LA that’s a crime. Cops aside this party jumped off and was the real deal. Fairfax is the future of LA and I’m looking forward to us being here permanently. Thanks Bobby, Ben and the rest of The Hundreds for making this happen and keep me posted about the next one.
