We like fancy soaps and we don't care who knows it.

Been working with our friends at Lloyd Architects to design up our new joint. We told them we were going for the warehouse Shredder set up for his Foot Clan in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movie. They nailed it. We’re super stoked. Highlights: Glass garage door on the front, full skate ramp, lounge at the top of ramp with stairs going to roof top patio, ample ping pong table room, giant kitchen so Potter can cook up crepes for the troops, and last but not least, double bathrooms. Finally, the contractors are ready to start swinging hammers. We bribed them with copious amounts of Beef Jerky and Pabst Blue Ribbon to get it done ASAP. Pretty sure we’re breaking fire codes in the space we’re in now. Ever have to ride the hump in the backseat of a car? Yeah, it’s like that. 14 hours a day. (more…)

So last minute we entered a few things we had lying around the shop into the 100 Show. 4 of our pieces were selected and we ended up winning a Copper Ingot. No we didn’t win a small bird, you’re thinking of a Yellow Warbler. We made the same mistake and went to accept our prize holding a birdcage. Turns out it was a cube of copper. Embarrassing. Since we already bought the cage that’s where the Copper Ingot now lives. We change its water regularly and call it precious. One of our interns is trying to teach it to talk. Pretty trophy. Trophy want a cracker. Stuff like that. (more…)

Spent last week up in the Emerald City with most of the crew. It started out 80% hustling and 20% partying. By Wednesday it was 80% partying and 20% hustling. By Thursday it was full blown debauchery. High points were Top Pot, Cha Cha, Pesos, Goods, and hangin with all of our homies, you know who you are. Funniest part was getting kicked out of the W lobby bar until they realized we were “valued guests” and then being invited back in. Good times. We would like to take a minute to formally apologize to the good folks at Enterprise for what we did to their Chrysler gold package Towne & Country van we rented. We have a feeling no matter how many times they clean it, things will never quite be the same. (more…)

Dirt bag robbers have ruined it for ski mask lovers everywhere. Just because you like to keep your money maker toasty, doesn’t mean you want the 7-11 clerk to empty the till onto the counter and lay down on the floor in fetal position as soon as you walk in. We decided to take back the ski mask for all of us nice folks who like warm faces. For good measure, we added some sweet STS flare and then embroidered up a bushel of them. We’re handing them out with the promise that everyone who takes one, does a good deed in public while wearing the mask. We think sooner or later perceptions will change. Eventually when people see someone approaching them wearing a ski mask, they’ll assume something really awesome is about to happen. Like a hug or a sincere compliment. (more…)

HOW mag just informed us we’re being featured in this months “Behind the Design” section for a board we designed for Roxy. Out of the hundreds of boards we’ve developed, this is one of our favorites. Nothing like high fashion you can huck off a kicker. (more…)
