This has been semi-buzz since the beginning of the year when Burton showed this hoodie for the Fall line. As I leave the Wicker Park area, I did my last “rounds” around the hood, stopping at the shops I will not be visiting as frequently as before. To my surprise the hoodie was available.
Slot machines in the bathrooms, slot machines in the back of limos, “I’ll take you to the place, you choose the hooker, $220 no tip” taxi drivers, 110c heat, more slot machines. It can only mean one thing. Magic!

I’ve known about this for a while and I only heard about this play because of the movie Jersey Girl, but it does look promising to have Depp and Burton behind it. Unfortunately the WB recently asked Burton to recut it to a PG-13 rating so I guess we’ll have to see where this is going. Read the rant about it on Film Drunk .

The internet world is constantly evolving and Billy Kostka is taking advantage of the whole situation. Rollerblading took it’s toll by creating blogs and our very own radio show, but not in the way Billy is doing it. He is a busy man and a name that was behind the scenes of rollerblading, Billy put out a promising trailer about a month ago and announced the premiere showing of the movie, but for the lonely souls that couldn’t make it to the viewing he mentioned that it will be available for download; a move that hasn’t been done since James Reetzke’s “Before The Storm” (well he also pull off that one post-Daily Bread movie that was available for free). I caught up with Billy to see what the haps behind “Not a Lifeboat”.

One of my best friend Anthony Peraza had a huge birthday bash in Hollywood club Tokio. Photographer Rony Alkin was there to shoot portraits of the guest and my friends. From the look of the photo, you can imagine what kind of party it was.
