Hundreds: Badam




from the Hundreds:

According to the interweb, Bruce Lee once said, "As you think, so shall you become." Badam must not have the same positive mental attitude our mascot Adam has, and it shows. Celebrate the dark side of the force with our unsavory bandana-rocking bomb friend on this limited edition tee release for Black Friday. Bomb logo print at the top back.

Available in black, and red.


don't forget the hat to match



Get up to no good with our trouble-making buddy Badam, who is clearly the bad bomb to Adam's good bomb. The bloodshot eyes, the bandana, and the sour expression are hard to miss. He's lost his spark too. On a New Era fitted hat, with a tonal New Era flag logo embroidery at the left side.

Available in black, red, and teal.

Benefit for Lee Powers



From Houston Press:

Two weeks ago, the Free Press Houston folks lost a beloved friend and staff member when Lee Powers III passed away at the tender age of 19. Saturday afternoon at the Silo (4601 Clinton), some of Powers’ favorite artists and musicians are teaming up to help raise money for his grieving family: Devin the Dude, Rob Quest, Grandfather Child and B L A C K I E are all slated to perform. (Powers actually interviewed Devin for a quick piece on the FPH Web site a few months back.) Some of Houston’s coolest graphic artists will be donating pieces as well, and a raffle will be held for gear and supplies from Soundwaves and Houston Fixed Gear. Admission is only five bucks, and all proceeds go directly to Powers’ family to cover some of their expenses.

First of all NO I'M NOT QUITTING, RETIRING, GIVING UP, ETC. If you still don't get it go back and read my speech. At the moment I'm back in the studio with Digi after spending most of last weekend at home in bed. I'm truly enjoying the little time off before my actual vacation.

Last week was amazing, I thank every single performer who swallowed there pride and left their egos at home. The night was about making history and more importantly uniting everyone for a common goal. I can't thank you all enough! Here are some photos from the show:
