Eyes Wide Shut: Shut Skateboards at 200 Orchard

How does this not work out perfectly.
Eyes Wide Shut Masquerade party with Shut Skateboards.
Over at 200 Orchard. A great place to snap some photos.
For some reason a ton of Euros are always there.
No complaining at all it's just kinda funny.
Plenty of tunes and even masked dancing all night
Great beverages and conversation with kids from France.....
So we got the post from RB about the event and ran to get a mask.
But waiting in line I reread the flyer and saw they would have em.
Book it down to 200 Orchard and find Mr. Ortiz for the hookup and
The mask was funny cause I was crazy taking photos.
The next morning I found a purple scarf and a mask with Buddhist Monks on it.
The monk mask will be here and referenced again in another post.
I must though it was my stuff in the dark it got dropped on my bag....wooops...

Adidas Paper Mag Party: Part 2 Plastic Models

You might not want to stare at this at night.
You may have scary dreams or night mares.
All the mannequins at the Adidas party were styled properly
There was something about the colors and the design of them.
So vibrant and in a way almost lifelike.
So I got the idea to shoot of them like party goers as there were tons of togs already snapping away in the crowd.
I had an idea and I went with it....
So get all in in the face of some plastic...they need some love too..

Adidas Paper Mag Party: Part 1 Mickey and Friends


Adidas Paper Mag Party, originally uploaded by thismeik.

So at the last minute on Wednesday I found out about the Paper party
The one celebrating Adidas Originals at the Soho Wooster store.
It was sandwiched in between the marvel event and art show at John Allan's.
It worked out even though I could on only stay about 20 minutes.
There were lots of kids dressed nice from all the scenes of art, music, design, skating, mags, fashion and whatever you can name.
I spotted mickey and he had an insane tiger jacket on.
Here's a glimpse at the night and the fun we had...
Part 2 is kinda insane on my part.

I got the text they were playing in the AM.
JUSTICE
I didn't even see the set Promo'd
Maybe it was booked at the last minute.
No chance of making it via the the whole 6am wakeup schedule.
But I have this history of walking by Venues that Justice plays.
You see I've seen and heard them at Terminal 5 properly.
But In NYC and France I've stumble past awnings with neon lights and said...Dammit there playing here tonight.
The France thing was funny cause I saw kids in the cross shirts.
That woulda been sick but my co-traveler was not having in Paris St. Germaine.
Oh well till next time...We'll be walking
