House Of Saddam - HBO Exclusive

I just finished watching the finale of the HBO special series House of Saddam. I'm impressed, I sat through 2.5 hours and enjoyed every minute of the show. It was more like a movie with several parts, but the in depth look into the life of Saddam is...interesting to say the least. You see things from his crazed perspective, and in turn relive integral parts of world history that we as young people have just witnessed not but a few years ago. From the gruesome murders, to his deep regard for his family, the journey unfolds through the eyes of the powerful dictator. Two thumbs up for House Of Saddam, HBO has done an outstanding job re-creating a perspective of history and producing a thoroughly entertaining show. If you are able to, watch it from beginning to end, you will not be dissapointed. Peep the trailer, and check HBO for the show schedule.

Inauguration DC 2009, OD

Alright so my homie Terrill just sent me a link to an article describing how OD this inauguration really will be. Plan to be at this joint ALL day, which isn't a problem, because we supporting our boy Barack. The advisory says that ticket-holders should arrive at least three hours before the ceremony begins at 11:30. The place will be jammed. Streets will be closed and so probably will the bridges and major roadways into the district, unless you’re on a special bus. If you’re already staying within two miles of the Capitol, you should walk to the swearing-in. If you have special needs (like, you can’t walk), you’ll still have to walk, or use a wheelchair. Damn, it looks like Inauguration is really going to be OD! More info after the teleport


The team that is planning Barack Obama’s inauguration just put out an advisory for anyone with tickets to the swearing-in ceremony, and here’s the bottom line: This won’t be a picnic.

The swearing-in isn’t just a 60-minute ceremony but a day-long commitment, requiring planning ahead and looking at a map to design your exit strategy.

The advisory says that ticket-holders should arrive at least three hours before the ceremony begins at 11:30. The place will be jammed. Streets will be closed and so probably will the bridges and major roadways into the district, unless you’re on a special bus. If you’re already staying within two miles of the Capitol, you should walk to the swearing-in. If you have special needs (like, you can’t walk), you’ll still have to walk, or use a wheelchair.

There will be “drop-off” points for people with disabilities, but “traffic conditions and restrictions may make reaching these drop-off locations extremely difficult.”

More bad news for these folks: “There will be designated areas for people with disabilities in each of the ticketed seating areas on the Capitol grounds, however these areas are limited in size and available on a first-come first-served basis. Persons in wheelchairs or utilizing walkers should be aware that they will need to move across bumpy surfaces, grassy areas, and possible icy areas (depending on the weather).”

If you’re coming by Metro: “Be prepared to wait for space on a train for long periods of time, during which you will have to stand in close proximity to several thousand people. Many Metro escalators will be closed due to crowding and individuals will need to climb Metro stairs or wait to utilize the small number of elevators at Metro stations.”

If it’s raining? You can’t get through security with an umbrella. Bring a hat or poncho.

And if you’re on medication, like insulin, that you need to take at regular intervals, bring it with you. You’ll be there for many hours.

The advisory paints such a grim scenario that you might think the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, which issued the advisory, is trying to discourage people from coming.

Not so, says Carole Florman, a spokeswoman for the committee. They just want people to have a realistic sense of what to expect.

“We want people to understand that if they try to come, these are the obstacles that will unfortunately exist and they should plan accordingly and use their judgment about whether it’s something they want to do,” Ms. Florman said.

“If someone is going to spend the day in traffic or stuck on the subway or on the wrong side of a bridge, they’ll have a worse time than if they stay home and watch on TV,” she added. “We’re trying to be honest and realistic about the difficulties we anticipate.”

This advisory is just for the 240,000 people who have tickets to the swearing-in ceremony, but many of the same precautions apply to those without tickets who are going to the Mall, where more than a million people are expected, or along the parade route, where hundreds of thousands of early birds will gather.

The weather in Washington in January is usually quite cold and often rainy or snowy, the advisory cautions. “Please think carefully about whether you can stand outside in cold weather in a large crowd for up to six hours, and whether you are ready for long delays getting home afterwards.”

And finally, there’s this, for anyone who thinks they will be able to instantly share their experience with friends and family via cell phone: “Be aware that it may be difficult to talk or send pictures from your cell phone, according to wireless companies. Please use text messaging to send critical messages.”

The Bright Side of Recession

With this current recession we are all going through some rough times but Skaters in Southern California are taking advantage of the many foreclosures by draining empty pools and skating them. An empty pool is heaven to some skaters. A recent NY times article gives an account of Josh Peacock a SOCAL skater and his hunt for the perfect abandoned pool. Its an interesting article about the surplus of deserted pools. The article made me think of classic skaters like Dogtown and Chris Hosoi, check the clip below.

New SB Kevlar Laces

One of the weakest parts of any skate shoe is usually the laces. Nike solved this problem by incorporating a strand of Kevlar string inside the laces to give them more strength. Since Kevlar is used in bullet-proof vests it should be more than enough to keep your laces from breaking. The new Kevlar laces come on all new Dunks and Tre AD SB's. You can see them above on the Twin Peaks Dunk Hi. Teleport for a detailed look of the new Kevlar laces.

New SB's for the New Year

With News Years days away it seems Nike SB made a resolution to be fresher in 2009. Their January release comes packed with crack tee's, some nice hoodies and jackets, and of course dope shoes. Along with the new Air zoom Veloce the January release includes the Twin Peaks high, P-Rod II, and a classic Blazer. I'm still undecided on the Twin Peaks but the Blazers are crack, the Air Veloces seem like a good everyday type shoe to run errands. If the prices are right I might cop the Blazers and the red and white Air Veloces. Teleport for the rest of the collection.

Star Trek: The Next Generation, All Day Marathon

Just found out that on the Sci-Fi channel there is an all day marathon of the classic show: Star Trek The Next Generation. That's like a good 7 hours of Jean Luc after a big dinner and plenty of x-mas trees. This is a gift from above. Bless

Akomplice Clothing: We Come Bearing Gifts

Man, I must say it's dope to wake up to a box of fresh gear. That's exactly what Akomplice blessed us with this year for the holidays...a box of fresh gear. The brand definitely knows how to take care of their affiliates! As you can see above, the package consists of a few graphic tees, denim, and limited edition New Years flask. I had no idea that I'd find a t-shirt that perfectly represents the EF mentality. Oh, and might I add, their new denim is OD goodmoney! Akomplice hooked it up, get your gear up world.Check out the whole package after the teleport


Hide away denim pockets are crack, brings a little discrete class to the jeans.
I'm crazy picky about my gear, but even more so my denim. You gotta have a nice fitting pair of denim, a pair that you can wear in, they should look better with age. This particular pair from Akomplice is already a favorite of mine. The deep pockets come in handy for when you holding stacks on New Years.This is how I feel everyday...Dunk'n on bammas!

Meet my new favorite shirt. The Bill Clinton...Akomplice out did themselves on this one. An instant classic, this tee is sure to be a global favorite. Imagine peoples faces when they see the Bill's face and realize whats happening. Then tell them to check out the back part...Ole Granpappy Bush, this imagry is suiting.

What I'm all about, love and blessings people.Flask it up this New Years, you'll def see this joint being put to good use. Easy to pocket, it's a good look. By the way, I forgot to mention the detail Akomplice puts in their pieces. Notice how planet earth is being dunked?

Home Alone 2: Lost In New York

This X-mas movie is so classic I still own it on VHS, and keep it zip-locked. I remember when my pops first took me to see this joint one Christmas in Oklahoma City. This was a minute ago like 1993', but still remains a strong tradition. This was the movie that opened the doors of independence to a lot of kids. From Kevin reserving hit own hotel suite, then buying all the dope gadgets, to setting booby traps and just running NY dolo, made you feel that even though we were kids you could do anything. Somehow, it seems the edition I have on VHS still belongs to blockbuster...that's 14 years overdue. Comedy. Teleport for the trailer, and free Home Alone 2 stream.

A Present From Rastio Lyool: X-Mas Kush

I thought Rastio worshipped Jah! But here's what arrived on the roof in a parachute bundle, it was signed: Rastio Lyool, Bless Up. Apparently Rastio's Auntie is Mrs. Claus. So that means his uncle is... X-mas Kush can it be? I've heard of this myth for quite some time now, but never really considered the possibilities. Scientist maintain that this mysterious purple kush only flourishes around intense periods of celebration. So perhaps we are seeing this marvel of the universe because our boy Barack is making moves, and yea it is the holidays. Thank you Rastio, you've been most generous. Let the festivus continue! Teleport to take a look at the beauty

Happy Festivus For The Rest Of Us!

For those that may not know or understand this Festivus holiday, peep the educational video below, then see how we get down for Festivus!


Happy Festivus! Some many years ago we began celebrating this special holiday by hosting a public Festivus ceremony called the airing of grievances. Here you see DCBG and Rich socializing with some locals in Adams Morgan DC. We had a great turn out this year as many people came to write their grievances for all to see. We even had the aluminum pole in preparation for the feats of strength! After the teleport take a look at some of the grievances our fellow neighbors in DC had. As always, from all of the EF family...which spans accross galaxies. HAPPY FESTIVUS!
