Hi-Fi New York

This is a little old, but in honor of Tim O’Connor getting a shoe with adidas, the company held a roast. Or someone did, at least. Anyway, NJ Skate Shop owner Chris Nieratko served as host and pretty much killed it. But somehow I find the footage of O’Connor “dancing” with a huge cardboard tube (1:54) to be some of the funniest stuff in here. Either way, definitely worth a look. Unless you were behind the making of Nike’s “Nothing But the Truth.” Ouch.

Mark Gonzales T-Shirt as featured at the front of the adidas Originals Store down on Wooster Street in Soho. (They also had a framed photo of Gonz looking all bearded and cool. I should’ve snapped a photo of that as well. Next time.)

• GOODS: Holiday shopping? Limited edition Dennis Busenitz adidas!
• GOODS: Not feeling the Busenitz kicks? Limited edition Gonz adidas!
• GOODS: Spend your hard-earned scrilla at Caliskatz and get a free Strange Notes “Tastes Like Awesome” DVD. Sorry, forgot the exclamation point!
• NEWS: Girl Skateboards? Nah. Skateboards for girls. Evidently, gals don’t need that pesky seventh ply. At least Cool Girls don’t.
