If you are a fan of typography like us make your way down to the on going series of alphabet inspired art at Go Font Ur Self* at the Nine Lives Gallery in the Valley. I intentionally left out images from the event you have to go checkout the artwork yourself.

- T, ya dig!

After our escapades to the Core Series final on Sunday, last night we dropped by the monthly JDMST Brisbane meet to see what these guys get up to. Reports were that last time over 150 cars turned out, so expectations were high. Needless to say, we weren’t disappointed with plenty of cars turning up. It’s nice to see there’s a move away from the candy paints, giant chrome wheels and airbrushing that seems to dominate the Australian scene. We didn’t bother taking too many shots because aside from there being plenty of guys that shoot all night, we’re still a grip on shooting in different settings.

Big thanks to Riley and Rory for making us feel welcome, and to all the guys and gals that grabbed some stickers cheers. I’m sure there were plenty of “what the…” reactions from those who found P4 stickers shoved under their windscreen wipers, but hey we’re shameless.

For more pics and future event info you can head to JDMST or check out Downshift Aus.

A few good dudes I know got together to form a new band called Apollo, I’m not well versed in my indie music but I did really enjoy attending their debut show at Noosa’s own crap shack of a bar now given a trendy name, Fusion. I think they are alluding to the fused smell of B.O. and V.B. soaked carpets, regardless of the venue these guys definitely put on a stellar show and I am sure they would like to thank all their friends who attended and a good time was had by all.

- T,

The headlining band was Hope Springs but pretty much everyone decided to clear out after Apollo’s stellar performance.

This past weekend, Brisbanites took to the Chandler Velodrome to celebrate the launch of newly established bicycle themed brand, “Domestique”. A large group of fixie heads gathered to check out the new brand, show some love and just have a damn good time. For many this was their first experience on the velodrome, whilst a few were already seasoned competitors. Along with the track there was also a few fellows that came along to oversee the velodrome newbies and offer a word of advice (or three). We went along to take some photos and drop some of our new stickers off.

Domestique is now available at The Outpost, Gear and Sneak & Destroy and a big thanks to the stores for organizing this dope day, as well as the velodrome support staff for putting up with the rag tag bunch.

- P4,

The photos are also up on Facebook please tag yourselves.

Over the Easter break I took to the road and drove from the Sunshine Coast all the way down south to Sydney. The 1000+ Kilometers of journey would’ve been hellish if it wasn’t for my good friends and good food stops on route. While there i got to check out the new range of Feit, dropped into Supply, had a dope meeting with Ones Clothing and got to checkout the HMAS Darwin.

- T,

We stopped off at Grafton, which looked pretty much like a ghost-town except for this joint, which was overflowing with cars outside we ducked into checkout the menu and boy did we get a pleasant surprise. Elegant and simple bistro food at a country town pub. The whole trip we just kept discussing at the sheer dumb luck of finding such a nice restaurant on a trip where we definitely excepted a fast food binge.

Next stop was Port Macquarie, just to have a stretch but the lovely visuals definitely rejuvenated us.

We started 8:30 am Friday morning and 14 hours later we got to Sydney!

I went to Oxford Street, to checkout Feit and Supply who happen to be next door to each other. The Feit Moc Hi is the toughest boot I’ve ever laid my eyes on, these things look like they could crush any terrain in luxurious comfort, just an unmatched combination of aesthetics, quality and functionality.

After I finished groping all the shoes at Feit, I ducked into Supply. They gave me a look at their new range of tees, gotta say they look pretty damn good. Should be getting some pictures shortly. If your unfamiliar with the store they stock some of the most sought after brands such as Visvim, Supreme, Neighborhood, Tenderloin, Head Porter and many more. Check them out at their official website, and definitely drop in and check it out if your in Sydney.

We met the guys from Ones Clothing at Buffet, Junior was nice enough to invite me down to their studios and checkout their operation in person. These guys are true hustlers producing their own stuff when they have down time from their own full time printing business. We had a long conversation about producing quality products and bounced of ideas each other, we look forward to working with them sometime in the very near future.

One of my best friends is in the Navy and he gave us a tour through his ship, the dude is 6”8 I have no idea how he can last in that place for more than a couple of hours its so claustrophobic. But I was pretty much nerding out pretty freaking hard (pause), all those instrument panels, guns and hatches, the ship is a fucking maze; it was fucking awesome. Oh there is this crane called the Hammer Head, apparently its falling into bits but i though it was pretty impressive sight nonetheless.

We had to head back to the 4000 Monday morning, even though all the fun was over we did get to stop for one last meal in Taree, it was pretty rubbish, except for the cold drinks.

Bonus Shots:

Good friends, lots of drink ensued in hilarious moments captured on my newly acquired Fuji Instax 210, consider this my review of the camera it is just fun, no other explanation needed, its just fun to have around. Nothing beats instant gratification.

Finally convinced three of my favorite compadres to sack up and join me for a night of titillating tastes in Brisbane at one of my favorite restaurants, called “Sono”. Even though they are some of my favorite people to hangout with I must say they’re taste buds aren’t always up to the challenge for my culinary expeditions. Three fussy eaters who take a dislike to certain seafood, aren’t exactly the correct demo graph for a Japanese meal, however if any place was going to leave a good memory for fine seafood on their taste buds, Sono definitely meets that criteria.

- T,

The first dish which sadly didn’t survive long enough for a picture was a “Wagyu Tataki with Ponzu Sauce”, it really set the tone for the quality of the meal ahead. I won’t bother (also cbf) explaining every single dish, nevertheless we dined on some of the best seafood dishes to be had in Brisbane City, presented with simplicity and elegance that can only be achieved by fine Japanese cooking technique.

We had a great time and a fantastic meal, though it wasn’t cheap we all had a consensus that we would be going back there sometime in the very near future. Sono is definitely worth a visit if you are in the city or you can also try their river side location at Portside Wharf, however which ever one your visit you definitely want to make an advanced reservation to secure yourself a table, even for lunch. Yeap! they are that popular.

This week we decided to revisit the Queensland Gallery Of Modern Art, a pleasurable day spent gawking at visually stunning art work and accompanied by some of the best views of the city from the river front gallery. Currently both the Art Gallery and Modern Art Gallery are exhibiting the 6th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art. Make sure you take the time to check out these incredible displays, our photographs dont do them justice it is something you really need to see in person.

Taxidermy Elk covered in glass bubbles to excentuate the texture of the animal was by far the most standout installation and the stunning all white room was the perfect backdrop.

After nearly being bored to death by the immensely overrated Where the Wild Things Are, the most recent field trip into the BNE was salvaged by good food. It seems that nothing matters when you have something tasty to slide down your gullet.

There was also an impromptu visit to the newly opened Culture Kings and catchup with our friends at Apartment. We had a go at snapping some pics at Apartment but weren’t happy with the results so we’ll bring you a proper pile of shots next time we’re around that neck of the woods. Culture Kings on the other hand… we’ll leave you to make up your own minds about why we wont be featuring them on this site.

Food pics ensue after the jump.

Little Singapore – Sunny Bank Hills

Gotta love Asians and their random cartoon characters, this lemon ice tea was made more awesome by the mob of badass ice cube gangsters on the lid.

First up was Roti with Chicken Curry. This had the tell tale signs of a good curry with a nice ripple of oil on top and really fragrant and just the sort of stuff that makes you over eat, awesomely tasty finger food that you simply cannot eat too much of, but that didn’t stop big T from polishing it off.

The big T decided to dig into the misleadingly named Dry Noodles with Chicken and Prawns, which turned out to be anything but dry and was a text book noodle and broth dish, not worth trying to be frank.

Meanwhile the smaller brethren opted for the Singapore Style Fried Fish, which is basically like the KFC of the sea. Although a bit lacking on its own the sweet chilli sauce was too sweet adn syrupy but the dish was rescued by some nice Pickled Chillis and Sambal. Mainly I was just glad I didn’t have those lame dry noodles.

Freestyle Tout – West End

To round out the evening we headed to Freestyle Tout in the Westend for a G&T and the Sorbet Supremo which actually kicked arse, even with the somo aura of 2 dudes sharing a sorbet desert.

All-in-all, aside from the bitter disappointment of the movie, a chilled night filled with good food and conversation. Now time to get prepped for next Saturday with the release of the Skippy New Balance at Laced and Sneak and Destroy’s One Offs show. Now that should be entertaining.

We’ve been quite well……quiet lately. Exam season and real work commitments keeps both of us sadly preoccupied pied these days. But finally this past weekend I got a chance to step out of the house for some R and R with the boys and attended a Fight Night in Noosa.

As of recent I have taken an interest in fight sports and my boy pictured above having his first amateur bout and I was ring side to capture every moment even though when he knocked his opononent out I was too busy in celebration and dishging out high fives and fist bumps to capture the moment, but there is some footage i will upload soon. Lots of mean photos after the jump!

I took over 800 shots but I have condensed them down to the ones that took my fancy, I was really digging the pee wee fighter those kids are so well trained and composed even after drawing blood they hold their cool can’t imagine I would’ve reacted the same at that age and also the different gym logos were ill very reminiscent of old school Americana which is something I’ve always loved.

Anyway, this past Sunday we rolled into the Noosa Classic Car Show and were thoroughly impressed. Somebody proclaimed it to be “Australia’s answer to Pebble Beach”. Whilst this is an unfair comparison for both parties involved, there were some great automotive masterpieces on display (and some not-so-great). Unfortunately the dust whipped up by strong winds meant that most of these classics were covered in a thin film of dust.

We realise that simple shots of cars can be pretty damn boring so we tried to give you a taste of the event from a more interesting perspective. Hit the jump to see what we came up with.

After traipsing around on what looked like green carpet for hours in the midday sun, we were in desperate need of refreshment. Massimo’s sorbet and a mango ice tea were just what the doctor ordered.

Lychee and raspberry…. soo good.

OM NOM NOM NOM

That’s all folks.
