Roses really smell like...

You know how people write ' My ideal sunday would be...' well I was thinking about it - and its pretty much how I spend it every week.
Wake up, chuck the kettle on, tea, head down to Colombia Road flower market, coffee at Nick's, pick up some Peony's, head to Brick and check out what the china man has in parts, then look for a steel 1pound 15ml spanner (where have they all gone?!) get to work and chill all day. Afterward varies. Staying back at the shop, go to London Fields and drink in the sun, or just go home and watch a good doovd.

I got sunflowers this time. And a flower sculpture from that guy that does it for a buck and I usually say no to, but this time said yes. And I got a rose too infact. Just in black and white...



Lastly, just a heads up -

www.wunderkindmagazine.blogspot.com

Gotta hype. Check iiiiit.

Wheels in motion..

So finally I am motivated. Finally!!! Fuck. Anyway things are underway for the magazine - I interviewed Sanna and Juliet yesterday - they were so great, couldnt have answered my questions better!

Got Peony flowers from the Colombia Road - so amazing - although they look better on my arm! Mmm maybe I should have got colour...

Went to Frith St after hours and Stefano tattooed me for his portfolio. I dont know why, as he is really really good already. And has only been tattooing for 5 months. So so good.

Met Dagmara today for PingPong. They had really good toilet paper and we need some...bahahaha steeping so low...! But the food and tea was worth it.

Stolenspace has been rented out for a few days and tonight was the launch for a new skateboard exhibition - kind of like No Comply but not. Stu's was the best by far!! Fuck yeah!! But Lucas Deverell's, was good too. I only met him today.

So much to do. So little time... And Issue 4 is ready to arrive on Friday..shit thats tomorrow? I think Ive already mentioned it looks like the best one so far. And in the background I can see Macaframa which has been out on DVD for only a little while, so I just getting your paws on that one.

Out.

Sundays are the best

I got back a few days ago from chillin with the fam in Gdansk, Poland cos my parents have a place there. Sooo much fun. Good food, good times. Bootcamp fun! Then it was Andys birthday on Saturday so we started off at Broady Markets for some Climpson and Son coffee and people watching. I got him some bday cupcakes .. pic on his flickr fixedgearlondon.

We rode to the city - Magma, Apple, Hideout, Vans all on the list...only because I just got my Australian Tax Return! Thanks Kev. Haha. The afternoon ended at Lock 7. So cute!

So we didnt end up opening the shop yesterday - so Andy and I chilled at the markets with Josh and Ted. Ended up at the Golden Heart pub and next thing I know we have to return some dvd's and chill at London Fields in the sun for some more cider.
I think the boys were already drunk from the night before. Mayhem!
I bought a cute dress at the markets too...Im gonna dye it black for extra sass. Pic up soon!









Gdansk...


This was where World War II officially started!


Heaps of forests. Ah fresh air




I usually dont really like churches, but this place was amazing!! So huuuge. Saints buried there and just amazingly built.


Our place had this basement which was the creeeeeepiest ever. I swear they had prisoners down there! Heaps of rooms and all walls and doors scream proof. Ahh Europe.




Got Andy the Samsonite Marc Newson designed Scope duffel. So bright.


Dickies is supplying us - who work in the shop - with pants! At the moment they feel like cardboard and make my arse look huuuge. Yay


Teds workshop door - just so we know which to deliver beer to

Ive decided to sell it. Vintage track frame. Steel lugged. Aero seat stays. English frame. Its been powder coated so bit of a mystery as to who built it. Anyone interested email me!

OH SO BRIGHT

We got back from Bright Tradeshow a few days ago. HOLY SHIT I cannot even explain how much fun it was. The crew was hilarious - pretty much laughing the whole van ride there. (Oooh thats niiice Keanu...How was school today Yatiiiii!!) Yep, all 9 of us in the Vans sponsored TigerTours van (which was pimp by the way...better than expected.)
We drove from London all the way to Frankfurt, Germany - where Bright Tradeshow is held. Its in the biggest old police station you've ever seen - with old cells and strange vibe. Most of that has changed because of all the stickers EVERYWHERE and each room occupied by a skate or streetwear brand. There is a massi skate park in the middle - and on the third level of the building there is the most amazing wooden skatebowl youve seen is yo life. Fo real.
FGLDN, we were invited by Bright to exhibit and introduce fixedgear bikes. Well, its their second time there but still, man, Thomas and Toby looked after us hella good. Paid for everything and made us feel like family. Riding around Frankfurt was the best!! We pretty much had the best crew ever. I cant wait to see them when they visit London in a few weeks and more so, Bright Winter in January...itll be the 10th Anniversary show!! Sick!!

Jonny, who is amazing and also a great phtgrphr took the best shots, but here are some snappys of mine. Enjoi



Gettin our shit together for the exhib...


Holy shit!


This skatepark was fun for bikes. Mike workin it
