What I thought would be great for Todd was to create something people would want to share.” On the Internet, he told his friend, you don’t have to be as selective as at a magazine.

They capture the crowd flipping their wig during The Murder City Devils at the Pool Parties show in Williamsburg a couple weeks back. Thanks to Sohrab for getting me in. It is fancy when you roll VIP: They were giving out free custom Vans coupons in the section for the special people! I sweat on mine and the ink ran though. Such a serious bumma.
