Starting today with conferences and tomorrow for the expo, San Francisco will be renamed Geek City until January 18th as tech-savvy folks swarm The Moscone Center for MacWorld 2008. MacWorld “brings together the loyal, yet diverse, base of Mac users in creative services, education, entertainment, application development, enterprise and small office/home office environments.” Imagine this place crawling with Mac users. God, that must be awful. Granted, every single one of us uses a Mac, but some of these types go wayyy to far with it. I certainly wouldn’t want to be surrounded by thousands of them with my limited, but expanding, knowledge of keyboard shortcuts and inferior, but still highly usable, version of CS2.

Not necessarily a collaboration, but Tough Shits (ex Bitter Sweethearts, Working Girl, Top Dudes) guitarist John makes his modeling debut in the Spring/Summer 08 Urban Outfitters catalog. Check the band out this Saturday (M Room w/Dark Horse and the Carousels 10pm $7) and tell John you think he’s handsome.

It seems as though we’ve entered a love for snowboarding/Burton day here at [ 2 one 5 ]. It’s going to continue right now. And there’s nothing you can do about it. You could complain, but we won’t listen. Instead, just feast your eyes on what Burton sent us as a holiday present for handling the advertising/all collateral for their line of protective equipment, R.E.D. Protection: A Burton Sleeping Bag! This cocoon will come in handy. Who’s having/When is the next sleepover? We’re prepared now and promise not to ruin your mom’s shit.

This weekend, head over to Big Boulder Park for the Transworld Snowboarding Trans Am. The event features an amateur competition in the park. Not sure what the winner takes home, but let’s hope our boy Trevor B (and his [ 2 one 5 ] Snowboard) can vault to the top of the podium. A few of us will be on hand, so holler at us if you’re going or if you see us there.

Prior to the start of this weekend’s round of NFL playoffs, did anybody think that Eli would still be alive while Peyton spends his weekends at home? Or that T.O. would be balling his eyes out at a post-game press conference? Me neither. Things got started on Saturday afternoon in Green Bay where a snowfest turned into a dominant performance by Ryan Grant and another poor day for former MVP Shaun Alexander. It’s hard enough to pass in the snow, but imagine running. Let alone for over 200 yards. Next, Jacksonville hung in with New England for the first half of what had the promise of being a good game. Well, I fell asleep at halftime, so I didn’t really see how it ended. The Pats won and kept their unbeaten streak alive. That’s all I know. Sunday saw Peyton Manning and his giant head (in the literal sense) lose to the Chargers. Knowing Peyton, he’s blaming his line and receivers before he even points the finger at himself–something he’s never done. Then, Sunday night provided the most entertainment as Romo and T.O.’s Cowboys got knocked the fuck out by Eli Manning and the Giants. Basically, the best part of the whole thing was T.O. post-game crying and saying he never blamed/blames his quarterback, but rather supports them. It was the media’s fault for his feuds/hissyfits against Jeff Garcia and Donovan. Right. Go cry again, please.

Burton has released a whole series of Archive outerwear that updates some of their late eighties/early nineties designs with the two-thousands era technical materials. These garments really take us back to our early days on shred sticks. You know, back when snowboarding didn’t fuck our knees like no other. Seriously, some of us have only been out on the slopes once this year, and we’re still recovering. Plus, we’ve got shit to do, and colds to catch. We’re all on the second coming now. It must be the apocalypse.
