Here’s a little ad we did for 707 Restaurant that appears in this month’s Philadelphia Magazine.
Saw that Packer Shoes just got this little pack in. It appears to be a Nike/Parra collaboration featuring a great jacket, a simple (but so Parra-esque) t-shirt, and a great colorway on some AM95’s. You can’t help but love Parra’s work, and the blow-up in recent years is well deserved, including a few magazine covers (Juxtapose, Arkitip).
Greeting Kiddies, for all ya’ll that dont know the above image is whats referred to as a mixtape. These were around since the beginning of HIP HOP. This particular mixtape was put out by DJ MISTER CEE on the underground mixtape brand TAPEKINGZ. I had the luxury this weekend to reconnect with my vintage mixtape collection and will be posting a new mixtape every monday for all ya’ll youngbucks to drool over.

Our homie DJ Adog passed this video along to us from his youtube page. It’s from the U.S. Open of Snowboarding in Stratton VT. DJ Russel holds down the tent at the top of the pipe all the while wearing our Dot Windrunner. Check out his blog for more shots of the [ 2 one 5 ] gear taking over the VT Nation.
7 more days until the Phillies disappoint us all!!!! Sorry, my hating days are back.
Wrote a paragraph today that looks eerily like the state of Pennsylvania. My Bucks County is a little suspect. You be the judge. I blurred out the text because it’s so top secret.
Cinderella’s alive and well this year at the big dance, and Philly’s own Villanova leads the waltz. These rags to hopefully riches stories left everybody in the office with furrowed brows as a decent number of our picks bowed out much before we hoped. As 12 seeds, ‘Nova and Western Kentucky lead the bottoms of low seeds advancing, with Davidson (who knocked off office favorite Georgetown) not too far behind. There’s a few days before the next round of games, so we’ve got some time to gain our bearings and hope that our remaining picks can get us more points to walk away with the bragging rights we all so desperately covet.
There’s only one way to celebrate the resurrection and trump the lame and disgusting candy (minus the peanut butter eggs) covered in plastic strips of “grass” (how is this shit child safe?): by listening to the Stone Roses “I Am The Resurrection.” Back in 1989 the Manchester lads played what later became a legendary concert, during which Ian Brown walked out with a light-up yoyo and donned his infamous Paul Smith “money shirt.” The shining moment of the Blackpool gig came at the very end, when the band broke into their 10-minute craziness on this track. The song starts with Ian Brown repeating “who is and who isn’t” (a reference to ecstasy), singing horribly out of tune (he never sung in tune in concert. listen for the chorus and the word “couldn’t), and eventually banging on some bongos like the monkeyman he is all the while Cressa does his best I’m-on-ecstasy dancing, The true gem in this masterpiece shines when John Squire completely goes bonkers on the guitar freak-out for five straight minutes while barely moving an inch. Watch. Click the screenshot to see the video.
Vermont snowfalls for the last 72 hours.
Smugglers Notch, 17 inches.
Stow, 15 inches.
Jay Peak , 22 inches.
Stratton Mtn, 3 inches.
Vermont is known for two things- the US Open and maple syrup. Syrup is sweet, but the US Open has been pretty harsh.
The low pressure system that swung through New England was generous to all of Vermont except for Stratton. With the low sitting off Canada and another low moving across PA right now, Vermont is sitting between two spinning gears, with ass-hair-freezing cold air getting sucked down from the Arctic.
The show has gone on, however. Yesterday’s slopestyle event produced one major upset, as Buaas Oestgaard, of Norway , zapped the seemingly invincible Jamie Anderson. Anderson completed her run with style, but Oestgaard pulled out the 720.
The Mens event wasnt nearly as much as a surprise in that S Dubbs won the thing again, much to the chagrin of every fan over the age of 12. However, second place went to Tim Humphreys of (get this) Basking Ridge , New Jersey . This, just a month after Jersey ’s Shane Pospisil took second at Terje’s Arctic Challenge. Unfortunately, this event has been lacking one Travis Rice.
Numbers dont seem to be down, as East Coasters still flock to this historic event. Fighting the harsh wind to pick up some free foam novelty is a time-honored tradition. Today, competition will continue with the Mens and Women’s Pipe.
Rumors are that tonights Big Air might be cancelled, due to the relentless winds.

As The Roots prepare their 10th(!!!) album release, a few videos have surfaced to get the machine buzzing. Okayplayer sent this through the wire today. It’s a video for the lead-off single of their new full-length Rising Down. The song is “Birthday Girl” and features the singer from Fall Out Boy, Patrick Stump. While we’re all pretty big Roots fans over here, imagine our surprise when the email from Okayplayer including a tip to look out for a [ 2 one 5 ] shirt!! Here’s the video. See for yourself. The shirt is from an old line, but it’s the Gold Bridge; if you’ve been following [ 2 one 5 ] since our birth in 2001 you should recognize it. If not, we’ve including the exact times when it pops up. Click the screenshot to see the video. Our blog gets wacky when we tried to embed YouTube videos.
Times to look for the shirt:

Snowboard Mag has some pics up from the first day snowboarders were allowed to shred Taos Ski Valley. For many many years (53 to be exact), the resort only allowed two plank to grace their precious powder, but that all changed when snowboard innovator (and Snurfer developer) Sherman Poppen declared the slopes open for snowboarders. Go here to read more about it and see more pictures.
Here’s the deal: You’re going to run a stick-up on [ 2 one 5 ]. Instead of getting money, you’ll be saving a whole lot. No need for gun violence, robbing people, or purse snatching. We’ll be raising our hands and letting you scurry away with exclusive, special prices on the first arrivals of from our Spring/Summer 08 apparel line, including our Bandit hoodie and “double trouble” windrunners. As you’re saving those dead presidents, you might as well tip back a few glasses of free Chopin Vodka cocktails (from 7-9pm) while chomping on complimentary appetizers courtesy of Alfa Restaurant. DJ Skeme will also be on hand to help you get sticky on the dance floor. Get on down to the Walnut Room, leave the violence at home by wearing a Demand Peace tee, and get ready for the Springtime Stick-Up! Bang! Bang

Mass Appealer and 10.Deeper Dante Ross launched his own personal website recently. Great design. Great navigation. Great Concept. There’s plenty there to fool around with and plenty of little not-so-hidden things to find and play around with.
Ksubi, the changed name for the United States of fashion brand Tsubi (not the footwear), launched their website a little while ago and borrows from a popular search engine and soon to be verb google. It’s a pretty flawless knock-off with the easy navigation of it’s mirror.
This past weekend some of us here at [2 one 5] broke out the baseball gloves to throw the ball around. Seeing as in how the Phillies home opener against the nationals is in just 14 days we thought it to be appropriate. Don’t forget to support our boys on the diamond this year. See you all at the park. LETS GO PHILS
Slam X Hype had a pic street artist The Decapitator’s recent victim. The London artists broke out his instrument of death and sliced the fuzzy, beady-eyed head clean off one of the Supreme Kermit postings. Read all about it here, and see more pics of the head-cutters work here. All via Slam X Hype.
Two “Required Reading” posts in a row?? What’s going on? Maybe we’ve turned into a bunch of bookworms. Or maybe we just like looking at pictures. Who knows? I’ll refrain from posting all the libertine books I’ve been reading, and instead, we’ll give you a few more books filled with pretty drawings to look at. Here you go:
Phil Frost has (finally) released his first book.
Instead of repeatedly watching the end credits, why not own all the phallic drawings from Superbad for yourself!
Abject Expressionism – Ron English
Monster Fun Zine – Kevin Lyons – available at WTHN to coincide with his back wall installation (limited to only 15 copies)
As promised to all our faithful blog readers (it’s a monday. you’re reading blogs instead of working. and that’s totally o.k. the boss is probably doing the same thing and claiming it’s “research” or something), DJ A-Dog came through with some exclusive flicks from the Northern Lex Exhibition by Peter Huynh at Status in Vermont. I believe it’s still up, so if you’re 802ing it up anytime soon be sure to stop on by. Or got check out Status (28 Church St. Burlington, VT 05401) anytime you’re up there in the Green Mountains. On to the flicks:
What’s all this global warming stuff we’ve been hearing?? We’re not too worried what’s going to happen to the earth hundreds of years from now, but we do know one thing: It’s been downright cold! We can’t wait for spring, and we’re not pleased that it’s playfully prancing in like a cute, fluffy, doe-eyed lamb. The slow shift to the warm weather does have us a little giddy though. A few pieces of our Spring/Summer 08 Line arrived!! Take a gander with wide-eyed wonder below.
Bandit Hoodie
Black has always been the color choice of mischievous scamps and rotten scoundrels. It cloaks you during your night-time misadventures of tomfoolery and run-a-muckery all the while making you seem mysterious yet highly fashionable. Basically you can do wrong in black, but you can’t go wrong by wearing it. So, what better choice for our Bandit graphic than a nice cotton zip-up with an over-sized, silk-lined hood. Go ahead, get into something bad.
Dot Bridge Windrunner
Finally, the glory of see-through without the wet embarrassment! While the kegs endlessly flow and the raunchy and rowdy cries of Spring Break ‘08 can make you forget about the real world (or for that matter, what happened the previous night), the fact remains: you should always be prepared. Why not bring along our Dot Bridge Windrunner as an extra layer piece of protection. We wouldn’t want you to catch something.
Plaid Windrunner
Everybody likes dessert. Especially something as filling, sugary, and rich as a three-layer cake. But cake never made a splash in the fashion world, and we don’t think it ever will. Instead, we’ve got a windrunner that combines three inseparable thin layers into one jacket. Taste the middle plaid layer through the outer see-through gray, and wash it all down with a thin mesh liner. It’s low in calories, but oh-so-delicious!
