shoe montage

my great friend austen just sent over this sweet montage... he's a photog, graphic designer, badass futbol player, AND he was one of the first guys to test out TPS waay back when.  

but i can still do more pullups than him, any day of the week.  -anton

Soo Good.

put this in your pipe, smoke it and "feel it all around."

babycakes

the super-famous vegan BABYCAKES has made its way from NY to open it's doors this week in DTLA. I had a gluten free vanilla cupcake, with spelt vanilla frosting.  the cupcake itself was just OK.  kinda bland. a bit too spongy.  however, the spelt frosting was SO good it almost made up for the mediocre cupcake.  But then again, I could have saved the $4 (not exactly recession friendly)  and just got a taste of frosting. mmmmm.     OH and they do a cookie sandwich with frosting in the middle... next time.  

Babycakes, 130 East 6th Street (right next to Coles).

DTLA is so not what it used to be a couple years ago... we'll save u the cliches, but we all know that the hipster to homeless ratio at this point is pretty much 1:1.  So I (Anton) was on my morning walk today (houndstooth pleated shorts, coffee, NYtimes), as I literally stumbled into VIRGO.  It's a little hipster haven with one-of-a-kind silkscreened tees, vintage army jackets, & military boots.  It has the feel of the LES, without the cooler-than-thou attitude.  

Brainchild of the sweet design duo Alejandra & Rana. Welcome to the neighboorhood ladies.
