I think the idea is pretty dope! Keep doin' it y'all! It would be great to see them get out to some of the other, more local neighborhoods too! or... maybe use an iPhone or Blackberry or some type of camera phone and post the pics in realtime, as soon as they take them. That would be kinda sick!<br /><br />Here's a little background on San Francisco Is:<br />San Francisco Is... started as a group project for an Advanced Graphic Design class at San Francisco State. They initially began work on specific locations in the city, and realized in doing research, that the concept and idea of defining the essence of San Francisco came about.<br /><br />They wanted to find out... "What is it about San Francisco that people love and why does it continue to intrigue so many? What is San Francisco?"<br /><br />... and they realized that there wasn’t one definite answer. In order to define San Francisco, a social experiment needed to be created.<br /><br />Peep out <a href="http://www.sanfranciscois.com">www.sanfranciscois.com</a>, they're definitely reppin' SF! If any of you get your own picture on there wearing some 4fifteen gear, holla at me. The first person to get up on there reppin' 4fifteen will win a teeshirt of their choice!

I admit it gets kinda addicting. It's like a constant stream of status messages that consist of no more than 140 characters per message, also called micro-blogging. It gets pretty entertaining... seems like everyone and their mom is up on there, these days. The homies Lxele and Plug1 got me into Twitter, and at first I wasn't really feelin' it at all. But, then you start to discover all these celebrities and people with like interests and friends that are also using Twitter and it becomes really interesting to read what they're thinking, doing and encountering everyday... and it's fun to share your own thoughts and encounters with others too. I've found it a dope tool to help network with others in the game... I've met a bunch of cool folks.<br /><br />Try it out, for yourself... <a href="http://www.twitter.com">www.twitter.com</a><br />Once you're on there, find us: 4fifteen <a href="http://twitter.com/4fifteen">www.twitter.com/4fifteen</a><br /><br />And, of course join us on Facebook too! <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/4fifteen-clothing/17799352935">http://www.facebook.com/pages/4fifteen-clothing/17799352935</a>f**k a 9 to 5http://www.blogger.com/profile/03513231835487425451noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275895786268193433.post-41992579374997720382009-05-28T12:02:00.000-07:002009-06-10T09:20:49.798-07:00Independent Hustle<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/iwP7WOHehRc&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/iwP7WOHehRc&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />I've wanted to write about this song "Independent Hustle" by Skitz The Samurida & Estairy of the ScoJourners featuring Mike Marshall, for some time now. It's a sick song and the whole meaning of the song is dope. <br /><br />In true Bay Area spirit and along the lines of the meaning of this song, I feel that 4fifteen clothing is on an independent hustle... when I listen to this song, I'm inspired to keep grindin' and workin' hard to get 4fifteen to where I want it to be. I'm doin' this for the passion for passion, as well. For the love I have for the City, and for creating dope shit that people will want to wear to rep SF! <br /><br />I'm hella proud of the ScoJourners, (consisting of) Skitz, Curt Sak, Estairy, Max and An Na. I've known a few of them for quite some time now... we all grew up in the City and the City isn't all that big, so everyone knows eachother. You all know how it is. ... and they have kept following their dreams. It looks like it's all starting to pay off... they should be proud. Keep it up y'all!! See ya at the top!<br /><br />The ScoJourners new album should be droppin' this Summer. Definitely gonna be dope!<br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/scojourners">www.myspace.com/scojourners</a><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=logo#/pages/Skitz-The-Samurida/118387720356?ref=ts">Skitz's Facebook Page</a><br /><br />-dp.f**k a 9 to 5http://www.blogger.com/profile/03513231835487425451noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275895786268193433.post-52165941395172399182009-04-29T00:01:00.000-07:002009-04-29T00:24:05.094-07:00"Peep This"... was the title of the emailI was checking the 4fifteen email the other day and had a message in my Inbox from an unfamiliar name, the title was "Peep This".

White tees and one heather gray tee with simple colorways for the designs. I wanted to let the designs really speak for themselves on clean canvases. I'm quite pleased with how these four designs turned out.<br /> <br /><img src="http://www.4fifteenclothing.com/samples/golden_state_kings_4fifteenss09.jpg"><br /><strong>Golden State Kings.</strong> Representing all of Northern Cali... we are the Kings! Comes in two colorways, both on white teeshirts. Black outline w/ gold crown (as shown above) and Royal Purple outline w/ gold crown.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.4fifteenclothing.com/samples/fog_city_4fifteen-ss09.jpg"><br /><strong>Fog City.</strong> San Francisco is the Fog City. Black and white design on a heather gray teeshirt. Reps the Fog City well.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.4fifteenclothing.com/samples/street_signs_4fifteen-ss09.jpg"><br /><strong>SF Sign Language.</strong> Reppin' The City with various street signs from throughout the city. Reppin' all different neighborhoods. Can you find your street?<br /><br /><img src="http://www.4fifteenclothing.com/samples/read_btwn_lines_4fifteen-ss09.jpg"><br /><strong>San Franciscans Read Between the Lines.</strong> At first glance, this design may not make any sense to you. It might look like a bunch of words throw together. Look closer. If you read between the lines (or every other line), there's a hidden message. Welcome. We don't call it Frisco.<br /><br />A few baby-sized pieces are on the way as well, for the pint-sized San Franciscans. Never too young to rep the 4fifteen! They should be ready in April too.<br /><br />Hope you guys like em. The shirts are being printed up right now and will be available for purchase on the 4fifteen web site in April. In addition, they'll be for sale at The Cherry Blossom Festival in Japantown on April 11-12 and 18-19.

We set up a booth at this fair every year and it's always a great time!! Big ups tp everyone who came by to say what's up, picked up some gear and just came by to kick it!!<br /><br />We also learned that the Homeowners Association and the owners of the Condo building at the corner of Post and Webster, where the Japantown Bowl once stood, are threatening to try to put a halt both the Nihonmachi Street Fair AND the Cherry Blossom Festival... and even the Fillmore Street Fair!! What the heck??<br /><br />When I heard about this, it really saddened me. Not because, they insulted me, as a vendor, by referring to the vendors as "purveyors of schlocky souvenirs", but because of the following reasons, which really don't sit well with me...<br /><br />1. As newcomers to the Japantown neighborhood... you would think they'd embrace the neighborhood, its culture, and the cultural events that have been taking place in the neighborhood for decades.<br /><br />2. The Japantown Bowl, a Japantown icon, was torn down to build the condos. So I feel it's almost like that building is stripping the life out of Jtown. No more bowling alley, no cultural shops on the ground-floor of the building... and now they want to do away with the street fairs??<br /><br />3. As a kid, growing up in The City, the Nihonmachi Street Fair and the Cherry Blossom Festival, were and still are an annual tradition.<br /><br />4. These festivals are in NO WAY dirty. 4fifteen clothing participates in three street fairs annually... the Cherry Blossom Festival, the Haight Street Fair and the Nihonmachi Street Fair... I can tell you that the two street fairs held in J-Town are so clean and well organized. Hands-down.<br /><br />I wanted to write about this to help bring awareness to this issue. I will do whatever I can to help out in the fight to keep the street fairs in J-Town!!<br /><br />Read more about this on<br /><a href="http://sf.curbed.com/archives/2008/08/11/throwdown_in_japantown_developer_threatens_festivals.php#more" target="_blank">Curbed SF</a><br /><a href="http://www.yelp.com/topic/san-francisco-japantowns-nihonmachi-streetfair---community-threatened-by-a-tenants-association#IexUJMLXwC7ONn_m5KVolw" target="_blank">Yelp Talk</a><br /><a href="http://www.akit.org/2008/08/japantown-festivals-threatened.html" target="_blank">Akit's Complaint Dept</a>f**k a 9 to 5http://www.blogger.com/profile/03513231835487425451noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275895786268193433.post-91819598039865376862008-06-27T12:34:00.000-07:002008-12-11T03:16:09.875-08:00Meet the CEO of 4fifteen design co<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5CgrhqjmG-GIrH5h6Uxfz_MjGnufKrxe9AP9c0QLihoJTMq-ewh26LiO9fTsyJl3YkXdHbtmh7Nt7uoKW_baDNWYpUN8kMVjDEZumGvutyR-szizVAsCm3p1lL8m-MXifjucZiQycoPja/s1600-h/4fifteen_ceo.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5CgrhqjmG-GIrH5h6Uxfz_MjGnufKrxe9AP9c0QLihoJTMq-ewh26LiO9fTsyJl3YkXdHbtmh7Nt7uoKW_baDNWYpUN8kMVjDEZumGvutyR-szizVAsCm3p1lL8m-MXifjucZiQycoPja/s400/4fifteen_ceo.jpg" border="0" target="_blank" alt=""id="the CEO of 4fifteen design co" /></a><br />Meet the CEO of 4fifteen design co, Izzie!
