FREE IDEA RULES EVERYTHING AROUND ME

Yesterday i moved into my new apartment in Fitchburg MA, where Im splitting it with some room mates. Possibly the best sleep i have had in weeks. Also going through ideas for the new line, what i want to release, and where things are going for the line. And if its almost time to open up another shop.
In 13 months I will be moving to NYC in a nice little studio apartment in Crown Heights Brooklyn. From there I will be Opening up the FREE IDEA NYC SHOP (yes its official.) Sitting in the same neighborhood (SoHo) as Kid Robot, Supreme. and Many other BIG fully established names. Like The FItchburg MA, Home shop. Im running into this blind. I have no Idea how the Free Idea following will be within a year so this is a big hitter. Over the next year i will be back and forth to NYC to check out different retail spots, and going over the paperwork to open on September 23rd. 2011 (which will also be my 23rd birthday).

So i guess you can say you read the official. Free Idea NYC will be open in 2011.

and p.s this month will be the last month for the blogspot. page, actual website will be up shortly.



keep pushing.

LA DISPUTE TOMORROW WORCESTER PALLADIUM

Tomorrow LA Dispute plays the Palladium in Worcester and I currently have no control over myself because of it. I have been Super busy designing the new line, making sketches, crumpling them up and tossing them away. then making one that looks close to what i want a final to look like and then putting them into my trapperkeeper *shut up, you know trapperkeepers where the shit when you where in elementary school*

I finally picked out colorways to go with the new summer releases and i am VERY happy with them. All the new stuff should be out of printing/stitching by the end of June, but deff before July 4th

there is currently a sale going on. so head over to the online store. pick up a tee for under regular sale price, and tell some friends.

I want to start a weekly blog post on pictures of people in Free Idea gear, so leave them on the Facebook,myspace or in a email.


oh and here is some more La Dispute for your face.

La Dispute, in a basement

On April 2nd I drove out to Amherst MA to Dad City with my two pals Mark and Katie to see one of the greatest bands alive, La Dispute. that is not in opinion. yes they are one of the greatest bands alive. thinking this whole time that the show was in an actual venue, we pulled up to a house number 665 (neighbor of the beast) and followed through the front door and sat down with one of the guys living there and and talked over the show. Also met two really cool people who where sitting on the couch across from us. they where both photography students who had the same passion for la dispute as Mark, Katie, and myself. one of them was Dan, he is originally from NJ but came here for school. for about an hour we talked over the music scene in MA and how it differs depending on where you are in the state. and compared it to the NJ music scene. check out Dans photo work here at www.danbassini.com

eventually people started to show so we gathered into the basement.
end of the night, La Dispute played and gave everyone there fill. we stayed a little afterwards, picked up some tees and had some short talk with Jordan, the voice of La Dispute. seeing how genuine and nice the members of this group was. it gives a little more hope for music now.
