Puma x Santa Cruz - First Round
Ran into some proxy issues, which prevented from updating the site for the whole week. Well, we are back and let's get back to the regular programming.
Puma and skateboard cult icon Santa Cruz will be dropping this First Round collabo this September. The collaboration pack includes this nice pair of kicks and a special tee. The design of this First Round came from Jim Philips' (Art Director of Santa Cruz) "Screaming Hand" graphic. That graphic is as iconic as Santa Cruz the screw itself. On the side of the upper, where Puma usually print the shoe's model name, it reads "1987" on this one. 1987 was the year Puma came out with the First Round model and the year that Thrasher Magazine had the sneaker on its cover page. Very dope kicks, cop it if you get to see this on the selves.

Ice Hockey / Mr. Tanner is not Gay
After dinner with the Tang family, we went to watch Tim and his team play ice hockey in the 8-Rinks. I miss hockey as a passtime....
Speaking of passtime, what do you do a 12-hr flight as a "passtime"?? Watch those movies and videos that the airline "carefully" selected for you. What did I get to watched on that children-filled dreadful flight?
BOB SADGET.
Yup, Full House's Danny Tanner. I kinda left it to the end to watch click on this too, thinking "why da hell would I want to watch Mr. Tanner doing stand up for HBO??"
Well, I was proved wrong. I laughed hard, almost scared the old lady sitting in the next seat.
This is part 1 of 5 via YouTube. Don't watch this at work though.
Don't know whatever happened to the nice Mr. Tanner, but Bob Sadget in here was nasty. Funny nasty, but still, very nasty.

Harbour View / WrongWroks
Vancouver has always been a warmer part of Canada. Seeing that it is June, I figured I could get some sunshine here during this trip... 10 degrees here! June! WTF?! Toronto, on the other hand, was rocking 41 degrees on Sunday. The climate is definitely different nowadays, the world is changing...
Came to the fisherman harbour for short visit. Luckily, we missed the rain. 
来到温哥华的渔人码头。虽然天气不是很好，但还是挺舒服的气氛。人不多，可能太冷了吧。天气反常，六月份的今天，这里只有十度。应该平时跤冷的多伦多，同一天却四十一度。
Went to Gastown for coffee with Tony of WrongWroks. The last time we met was in Taipei, is good to meet him this time on his home-turf. We are no strangers since we collaborated before and still have active projects going on now, and the fact that I did an article on him in my GUE column, I actually know his story pretty well by now. But still, it is always fresh to discuss new ideas and projects over a few cups of coffee face to face. Internet can only do so much when it comes to interactions. Happy to learn that his new book will be coming out very soon, with tons of juicy photos etc. If you'll be in Taipei this July, you just might be able to cop one from that first batch. And trust me, you'd want to line up for this one.
Tony, good to catch up. See you again real soon. Say... July?!
上期GUE主角，WrongWroks的Tony，这次温哥华打合。约在Gas Town喝咖啡，安排七月在台北的活动。

Vancouver.
Arrived Vancouver. Haven't been back here in 4 years. Came back here to congratulate my lil' sis Alice and Lawrence on their big day. Can't stay here too long, but is still a nice lil' break from the studio. I'll get to meet up with a few friends here as well. Don't even want to think about the flight back home...
今天到达加拿大的温哥华。对上一次到访这城市已是几年前的事了。好像是03年的样子。在这里只能逗留几天。Get some sunshine, meet some friends.是难得的小假期。但想起回程的航程厖有点想吐。

Falling Off the Reel / Puma Meio
Have been quiet for a minute there. Just getting some work done both in the studio and at the dream factory. Alot of things are going on at the same time, can't help but to help a bit dizzy..
Rostarr gave me this "Falling Off the Reel" album a while back, and it has became the background music of choice in the studio in recent weeks. Produced by Truth&Soul, and with the first track featuring Jose Parla. Is definitely an eazy listening collection. Definitely set the right mood for our day's work. 
最近工作室的背景音乐不停放着Truth&Soul制作的Falling off The Reel专辑。
这R&B soundtrack完全让我relax地进入工作状态。第一首La Valla更有Jose Parla的参与，听到他的声音便想到他的笑容。为一天的工作定下了 tempo。
Alot of new products are Olympic-inspired these days, with something new dropping by the day. Is all good, depending on your taste. Jordan fans will get the Jordan6 with the Olympic 5-colors, that's fun. I think the event is fun for sports fans in general, and at the same time, creates good topics for different makers. This Puma Meio showed up in the studio recently, with red and black color combo and croc-skin patterned uppers. It is one of three colorways of Meio that Puma will be putting out in the theme of the sports spectacular. But hey, if you are not at all into Oly, just think of it as a great colorway to rock on. This would be my first time trying this Meio Cell model, look forward to seeing what everyone else will be coming out with as we can closer to the big event. 
渐渐接近奥运日期，很多品牌也赶着推出相关商品。喜欢奥运五色的朋友们，今年心水产品真的多的是。 Jordan第6代也有五色奥运版，还不错。德国品牌Puma也不忘参与这奥运风。从七月开始推出奥运别注版Meio跑鞋。3色上阵，分别代表3个国家。 Meio机种用上Puma的Cell式鞋底，没试过这款的朋友可以留意一下。
As for adFunture, Olympics-related products? NAH... Wouldn't even know where to start..

Mr. A in Motion
Always been a big fan of Andre's (Mr.A) work. Is happy to see MR.A the character eveytime I come across one on the street walls. Now, see him in action in this Cazal music video. Nice dancing, A.

Dacosta / Max Brenner / NYC
While Dacosta and I were in New York, we were recommended by Charles to go to a chocolate restaurant named MAX BRENNER. Is basically a cafe/restaurant that mainly serves chocolate-related dishes. The fitting of the interior was colored... yup, chocolate brown. I felt full just by walking in there. We had a full blown meal before this, by the way. However, the food was quite good. I had a heavy chocolate waffle with strawberries toppings. Do check it out if you are in town. 2 locations, one in Union Square, the other one in East Village. 
在New York的时候，和好友Dacosta到了MAX BRENNER吃甜品。一家专卖巧克力的甜品屋。店里也用上了咖啡色为主色调，其实看到一觉得有点饱了。看到菜单上的照片就真的完全饱了。但在 Dascosta的推荐下，还是点了。味道出乎意料的美味。结果还是吃光了一份挺大,挺heavy的chocolate waffle。值得介绍给大家的MAX BRENNER，有机会可以带朋友去试试味道。
