Were you there?!?!?!
I got to Tradition around 7:20ish and by 10 the store was pretty full. Free drinks, music (DJ Katastrophe), and amaaazing artwork by Patrick Martinez and Eyeone.

I got a chance to talk to Patrick and Eyeone.. as well hang out with some friends (new and old) and have A LOT of good laughs. Patrick’s Go Getters (Break Yourself) foam hands were a big hit in YELLOW but I think I did see a girl cop a pink one. A limited zine was also out so I hope if you made it out you were able to pick one up.

Patrick said that one of the inspirations behind this painting came from seeing a kid just drinking a liter of soda. It is so sad to me these days how kids can just down soda, junk food, and fast food. I remember when I was younger it was a TREAT to be able to have a Mc D kids meal! Girls toy please.

My favorite part about Eyeone’s collection is the brick. He actually has a collection of about 10 and these aren’t just ANY bricks. They are all special in their own right picked by him based on history as they were what originally built our cities (they’re old, worn, and just have a story that goes along with them). The brick he is pictured with below is from Griffith Park.

Andrew of Tradition hooked Senior Producer Eric up with a hat!

Here are the rest of the pictures I got that night…

EYEONE:

Before I forget about this, Eyeone had a secret newspaper in this stand. I snatched one… not sure how many others new about this?

Anyways, I met three young men that night as well. Tradtition’s new dance crew? The young fellow in the all over jet print had a dance battle with Bui outside - unfortunately I missed it. I heard Bui got showed up though…
Hey guys! - if you’re reading this.

If you weren’t able to make it Saturday night, try and stop by the store and pick up some goods. Jason and Andrew are really great guys and would appreciate some new faces!
