Croakies
I know Croakies isn’t the proper name, but it sounds so much better than eyewear restraint. Probably the best 99 cents you could spend. No excuses for lost glasses.

500GB LaCie Brick Desktop Hard Drive
If you’re going to have a big block on your desk, it might as well look like a giant Lego. Used strictly to hold music.

Grado SR80 Headphones
Be glad you don’t have to sit by me on the bus. These open air headphones give the most rich sound possible. You can hear a muffled version of what I am. Easily the only way to listen to music. Say no to noise-canceling!

This American Life Podcasts
I spend way too much of my time commuting. With that being one of the most boring ways to spend at least 2 hours of my day, every day, I should probably listen to someone else’s story. Clearly, mine isn’t very exciting.

Paul Frank Calculator Watch
If I’m going to wear croakies, I have no choice but to top it off with a calculator watch. I spent a good 3 years working for Paul Frank and love nothing more than representing it on my wrist. Girls think it’s cute. How can I say no?

All them dudes are cool. wtf are some guys hating calling them douches for?
Some of da peeps there are cool, but others are douches. its a pretty cool store, but philly is still pretty lame when it comes to kicks and apparel…..

Fuck Ubiq. It used 2 be one of the best spots on the east coast like 5+ years ago but now its only a shadow of its former self. All four of these guys are douchebags. Dudes are so stuck on themselves and their fugazi Hypebeast friends. Wthn & Made to Order are where its @ in the 215.
Jamal Smith is the man
mike rios is the absolute shit and probably one of the best graphic designs i’ve had the pleasure to meet.
THE HOMIES HOLDING IT DOWN!!!
