Kaws Exhibition in Connecticut 2010

KAWS Museum Exhibit Opening from Paper Fortress on Vimeo.

This is a cool video that's from the Kaws Exhibition Opening at the The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Ridgefield, Connecticut. It includes a retrospective showing of a bunch of different mediums of his work from art to vinyl to sculptures to graphic design. The solo exhibition goes from June 27, 2010 to January 2, 2011. His mix of street and pop culture make for great displays at his shows. I definitely plan to attend very soon and will provide an in person re-cap.

How to Get Over the World Cup Hangover

Here's a little video from video vixen, Rosa Acosta and friends, to help you get over the World Cup almost being over. By now, most fans favorite teams have been eliminated and we have to wait another 4 years before we can get another chance at the planets most coveted trophy.
Who knows, I might even kids by then, but in the mean time, I have Rosa to console me.

Mwanga es Numero Uno

This is a great highlight video of 2010 MLS Number One Overall Draft Pick for the Philadelphia Union. As he scored his 5th goal in his last 6 games, Danny Mwanga, is really coming on as a leading scoring threat for the 1st year franchise. Along with the Frenchmen, Sebastian Le Toux, and midfielder Torres, the Union have shown the ability to create scoring opportunities and finish. Let's not forget that he's still 18, turning 19 this July. The sky's the limit. Shout out to 723FootballFilms for putting this video together.

New Look at Brooklyn

     Pretty cool video from Gregory Solenstrom.  The music is slightly different than the album version  of Hello Brooklyn 2.0 produced by Bigg D. I'm going to try and find out who did this one, but none the less, enjoy the creativity.

Two Stars Making Heat - Rozeezy

     Rick Ross and Kanye West have just released their new collaboration called "Live Fast, Die Young" and looks like Yeezy is continuing on his hip hop comeback.  The music he produced on his latest single "Power" and the beat he produced on this track sound more like his usual catalog, previous to 808's and Heartbreak (and even Graduation).  Rick Rozay is pretty much the hottest thing going in hip hop right now and it only makes sense for these artists to make magic.  Listen to what Kanye says about the collabo here. Great to see him making classics again after hiding out a bit.

Plastic Bottles = US Soccer Jersey

     I thought this was super cool and now we have an explanation.  I bought my 2010 US Mens' National Team Donovan jersey to support our squad and he's my favorite player with my favorite number.  (Pause) I also found out when they unveiled the new jersey in May that it was actually made from recycled plastic bottles?!?!  Yeah, plastic bottles.  How they do that??  Well we have a pretty good explanation below, check it out.  Go Green, Red, White, and Blue!!

Philly Always Loved McNabb

     Donovan McNabb will be one of my favorite Eagles of all time, yes, I said it.  In an age of players who get in trouble every other weekend for guns, drugs, booze, sexual assualts, this man represented our club better than anyone.  He had tremendous success and you can't blame not winning a Super Bowl on one person.  He gave us much more happy times than bad ones and let's all remember what the Eagles were before he got here.....exactly.  Anyway, I was personally pleased to hear his comments in this interview when asked about Philly and his relationship, since he is now a Redskin....still sounds terrible.
