Thanksgiving In NJ
by: Brink | Tuesday, November 29, 2005
- In case you ever need to purchase some butt.
So I got to go back to the motherland of NJ for the holiday, but, since I am always thinking about fine ways to entertain you loyal etnies.com visitors, I snapped a few photos while I was on the run. Sometimes I love how absurd life is.
- Fur woman attacks!
Fur Lady: Ok this chick, maybe she was like 55 or 60, was boarding the plane in Orange County. Yes, thats California. It was like 70 something degrees out and she had a full-length fur coat on while boarding the plane and white fur boots laced over her shoulders. FREAK!
Butt Depot: I dunno, this just seems funny.
- As if "Gilbert" isn't a bad enough name.
Dr. Poon: When I saw my first Dr. Poon office here in Lake Forest, I was amazed. She is a chiropractor. Little did I know NJ had another Dr. Poon. So much poon, so little time!
Happy Thanksgiving!

NYC Color/etnies Party Follow Up!
by: Brink | Wednesday, November 9, 2005
- O'Dell and Sandro!
A letter from, Sandro, the Editor of Color magazine:
Beloved supporters,
First I have to send out a huge thank you to etnies shoes, We clothing, and the city of New York who totally astonished us with your generosity and support. the NYC party went off without a hitch with an overwhelming 1000 RSVP's received. Guests were greeted at the door at the etnies table where they received a gift bag and five random partygoers received an etnies backpack stuffed with an etnies gift certificate for a free pair of shoes. ironically, over a month of work and promotion was soaked up by 100 guests within 10 minutes before 10 pm when Babysteps started off the video premiere, followed by Green Apple's Modern Love. both these videos and the etnies footy that followed for the remainder of the night were projected on the upper wall between the first and second level of the club--providing maximum viewing from both levels.
- Hipsters!
The open bar made for some very pleased New Yorkers from all social groups. A lot of fashion-forward yankees, artists/photographers, skateboarders and industry heads all cheersing their glasses in celebration of skateboard culture. From the Left to the Right coast. We thank you for helping us spead the message of Color!

Early November Artist Update! Whoot!
by: Brink | Wednesday, November 2, 2005
- Against Me!
Against Me! is touring through the states on the Fat Tour with labelmates The Epoxies, The Soviettes and Smoke or Fire. We caught up with the guys in LA to see how the road is treating them and they couldn't be happier. The tour is insane. Be sure to catch them live.
Speaking of tours, Pretty Girls Make Graves just completed a run of Southern California and the new material...Wow! April can't come soon enough.
There's some rumors of awesome tours coming up, so keep checking back...
On a somber note, etnies would like to give its condolences to the family and friends of John "Beatz" Holohan of Bayside. Donations to the John Holohan Bayside Memorial Fund are being accepted.
