Yo Nug-Lifers!

My homeboy and L80's Night Dj-At-Arms Clockwerk has given me a blog in which to document whatever the fuck I want. I'll be posting up past dj mixes from my residency at Nara in Kansas City (for those of you that don't have them yet) and I'll be trying to spread the Nug Life gospel out here in the city by the bay.

If there are any San Franciscans who visit the site regularly, feel free to hit me up and we'll try to get this city converted properly!

And here is the first mix I recorded at Nara...a melange of styles mixed together in a way that I will most likely never be able to recreate ever again. Enjoy!

so i just got these lighters in..... kinda stoked. exclusively available at Headspace on Troost in KC, for now. If you can't get there, come find me and i'll give you one :)

*EDIT* actually the lighters are all gone. there are 200 of those babies out there so go steal one.

Riddle me this friends. Why is it I can't go fifteen minutes without somehow hearing the underwhelming musical stylings of Asher Roth? Not only does he seem to have all of MTV behind him with a series of commercials and bumps, he's also all over this damn internet.

I'd say I'm a pretty good judge of talent (due in no small part to my own abilities) so I can safely say that this Asher Roth character has very little of it. You can't honestly call the man a rapper, nor can you call him a singer. The best way to describe these musical gems that he's so kindly presented to the world is as slightly melodic talking. This combined with the fact that he's channeling an all too obvious caricature of John Belushi in Animal House by wearing that damn 'College' sweater or shirt in every picture or video he's ever been in.

What does this have to do with T-Shirts? Very little other than the fact that I don't care for his 'College' outfits, but I believe a majority if not all of you will agree with my sentiments. So friends, let's collectively stand from our computers, put our fists in the air and scream "I won't fall for your games Asher Roth!"

You may be seated.

Folks, weve got a situation. Wherever u are you should hop on a plane and get to Chicago NOW! Brian Scott, also known as your boy Clockwerk, is currently destroying everything as we know it at OH NO! DOOM tonight. Plus Trey is here. Woo-fucking-hoo. This place is packed and there is a 55 gallon drum full of ice and free PBR. Yep, you read correct. FREE PBR. So get to Chi and call me. We'll get F'schnockered.

Happy St. Patricks Day everyone. From the few Irishmen here at the company, all we got was, "Dude, leave me alone. I'm trying to pre-drink." And that was at our business meeting this morning. So of course, being the raucous, redonkulous folks we are, we joined them in the celebration. If you are lucky enough to be in KC today, it would be wise to mosey on in to Westport. For all you 'Coasters out there, "mosey" does not make me a hick 'cause i'm from the midwest. Midwestcoast. So bust out that goofy outfit you keep in the back of you're closet for one occasion a year and go get drunk with everyone else. If work calls, tell 'em you got S.I.D.S. or something. Oh, If you're reading this and the sun is still up, you need more beer. Cheers.

There has been such a demand lately from all you great folks across the country for some diversity in our Art Department. By diversity, i mean something other than the OG logo. By Art Department, i mean some dudes who like drawing. Anywho, I assure you folks, new logos' are in the works. We have been brainstorming with our friend Sam Addams for a while. Which isn't helping. These were drawn up by my buddy Ananda Messina. Please let me know what you think. Even if it hurts Ananda to the point of never drawing again. Thanks everybody.

I just want to say thanks to everybody that made Johnnys' bday party last night a success. I definitely dont remember all of it, but i can say that he had a good time and so did everyone else. The folks at Mikes Tavern did one helluva job in dealing with everything last night. Im talkin' 4 deep at the bar from 10:15 to close. Super Nutso. So good lookin' out yall. I'll get back to you with more info on Headspace when i get it. Still looking at the grand opening party on April 1st so mark your calenders. Come back and see me in a week and maybe i wont feel like Nick Nolte looks.

Thats right kiddies its your boy Baxter tellin' all the NL faithful that were havin' a little party. Friday, Feb. 27th, Mikes Tavern 55th and Troost, 9 pm, no cover. The Good Foot is playing at 11. Come try to beat me at pool. i dare ya. Its Johnny Trumaynes Birthday so buy him a drink. Lord knows he probably wont need it. All your dreams just may come true by attending this shindig. i cant back that up. Lets party.

Folks, i am proud to announce the Grand Opening of Headspace on Troost. Kansas Citys' premier glass shop is set to open April first. Located on 43rd and Troost, this shop will feature the highest quality glass Kansas City has seen. Our friend here at Nug Life, his name being Dirty Bird, has been blowing glass for us for the last five years, and we are proud to say that we, in part with him, will be represented to the max in this shop. Soon as spring hits, you will have a spot in KC to pick up your favorite gear. So stay tuned to the blog, and I will get back to you as soon as I know more.
