July 17: Loungin' at Libertine's

On Friday a few of us congregated to chill for the night. Without set plans, we weren't sure where to go. So we went to Libertine's. The night started off slow, but picked up towards the end of the night. A few rounds of drinks at the bar helped a lot too.

We had 7 of us total, so we rolled to LA in the Previa, aka the Green Egg. Thanks for driving Stephen. Not ideal for parking lot pimpin', but at least we were all together.


We picked up Will at his place in Diamond Bar/Rowland Heights (they're pretty much the same) and pre-partied a little.




Who do you think was the drunkest of the night? (Hint: who brought her own glass in the car?)


We had a few options for the night: Opera, Sofitel, Blvd 3, and some spot that James was promoting in Long Beach. I think any of those spots would have had exponentially more people than the amount that was at Libertine's. Super dead inside. Juliana was so excited to be there. Not.


Jinny had the time of her life though.


"You're, choking us...."


We went back and forth, deciding if we should stay or try a different spot.


F*ck it. Let's just drink up already.


Nice Stephen...


Blackberry and Tonic.

Hey Jon joined us yayyyyy.




This AMF put me at that point that we like to call "buzzed".


Parking lot pimpin'.


Julu, Jinny, and Ces. Time of her life.


We wanted to move on to another spot across the street. "JOMO! Stay with me!" Damn it!!


10 minutes later everyone came back. We went back inside for more drinks.



Thanks Will! This... whatever this is, put me at the point that we like to call "drunk".






Comanches.


Don't really remember taking these pictures.



Accessorize your life.


Hahahahahahaha


Time of your life still?


For dinner, we went to House of Pies which is 2 blocks away from Jon's apartment. Lucky.


Christina made an appearance.


Some kinda omelette. Way too much hollandaise sauce.


DAYUMN!


Nom nom nom nom nom....




Not sure how or why, but we got home at 4am.

Sharp020 + xjomox + NSB.org Dunk High Customs

The homie Jorge aka Sharp020 (NSB.org) sent over a pair of customs he made for me. These have been in the works for a few months now and I couldn't be happier with the product. He basically works from a base sole, prints and cuts out the different panels and sews it all together. The original shoe was a pair of Brutes, but it was only used for the sole and midsole.

Some of the custom details include:
-metallic silver toe
-black pig suede toebox and tongue
-green sunburst printed midpanel
-black patent leather flaps
-double swoosh with black patent leather and 3M green
-3M green back heel
-green contrast stitching
-green quilt liner (extra pillowy!)
-custom tongue tags with my name and Sharp020 logo

*NSB.org lacelocks added by me!

These are NSB.org dunk highs, themed after the colorway of our forum. He refuses to use this colorway for others, so you won't find these anywhere! (Except a similar pair for Sid, and a low pair for B53. I'll still take these though!)

*Click the image for a larger version. Enjoy!










Also check out my brother's blog to see a sweet pair of P-Rod 1 customs and Puma customs (made of GOLD!).

Many thanks Jorge. I need more of your customs!
