Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Yesterday Philly brought us vintage style, twisted curious smiles, & enough Jamaican Jerk Hut yummies to last a while. Marla and I ventured through the streets with a soul mission of exploration. With the bus at the shop and a dime in our pockets, nothing not even rain could bring us mellow. I officially started representing Kopali last week and am enjoying the change of pace. Steven's enthusiasm has rubbed off on me. Kopali comes from the word kopal which is a sacred wood that is used in ceremonies in Aztec culture. The word pali means an abrupt edge or cliff in Hawaiian. Thanks to Sarah Wu for bringing us into her Philly apt. Laundry machines are sacred, as are showers. We have been at Ruth's exuberant home for the past few days and with out a doubt she prepares some of the finest raw cuisine since I've left Venice beach. The apricot crumble is to die for, or should i say live for. She has warmly taken in the crew and for that we are all grateful. After an eventful day of demoing and spending hours at the mechanics, it is past my bedtime so I bid all goodnight.
