In my opinion... Metallica x Billabong boardshorts... Two of my favourite things merged brilliantly into one... All I need now is for TOOL to start making beer and my life will be complete.
And without further ado - here's a picture of my arse.

Thanks to our good friends over at
Element Skateboards, we've just been given of a full set of the soon to be launched
Bam Margera pro decks with artwork by the one and only
Kat Von D. In fact, she was so into what we're doing here with the exhibition that she even signed each of the decks personally.
This one of a kind special set will be included in the SKIN:INKS charity auction that we'll be having at the exhibition
closing event on July 10th at CLIQ. Bring your wallets.

I mean really care... Is the music really important to the clubs in Hong Kong, or is it like everything else, just another label? Many of the larger clubs have a fairly broad approach to selecting "international" Djs to play to their "elite" memberships or guest lists. On the rare occasion that someone interesting does come into town to play, its more often at a club that will not allow normal people in to listen to them. It's all about velvet ropes, dress codes, table bookings and getting a snap on the society pages.. The music? Oh yeah, whatever...
There are of course notable exceptions like Yumla and, more recently CLIQ has been doing some interesting nights that are genuinely different and genuinely open to the public (that's the normal people)... And there's the promoters who continue to put on their more underground nights despite a constant struggle to find venues that will host them... Respect to all of them.
Music is not supposed to separate people, its supposed to bring them together.. That may sound cliche (actually it definitely does) but its also true... In this town its becoming a badge. Its not even about hearing a Dj play - it's more about making the cut and getting into the event...
For me this is such a HUGE topic that I don't even know how to begin saying all the things on my mind.. This is just touching the surface (not very eloquently either)... But I believe it's worth thinking about and I believe that it doesn't have to be like this.
There are too many 'private' sponsored events, there are too many dress codes, there are too many bouncers, there are too many velvet ropes, too many wannabes, too many posers, too many accountants, too many sheep...
AND NOT ENOUGH MUSIC.

Just wanna say a quick thank you to everyone who showed up at the SKIN:INKS launch party last night.. A very special and the biggest most respectful thank you goes to the mighty Sam Lee and the adorable Miss Yellow for providing some seriously rockin tunes... You guys are the best... And thanks to all the artists, the ChinaStylus and RedDog crews, Min and the Racks staff, Patrick and all the ANDers, the Herbs and all the assorted party people who showed us so much love and support...
And thanks to all our sponsors who helped make the event what it was - especially the 'refreshment' suppliers – 42 Below, Heinekin, Red Bull and Jaegermeister.. Who were those girls?
The event totally went off and was the perfect start to whats going to be an amazing exhibition and a great way to raise some cash for the kids that need it....
Check it out at Racks every day from now until July 9th.. And we'll see you all again at the closing event at CLIQ on July 10...
I'll get some pix up once I've recovered enough to handle technology..
Most respectfully, THANK YOU.
Jay FC
