In the final installment of the 3 part series, Gourmet, Jimmy Gorecki and Chris Mulhern bring the Quattro Skate to NYC. The video features the Quattro Skate in white full-grain leather/suede with the ice sole.

Loving the way the white sneaker looks on the streets of our homebase. Gourmet is coming out with some really exciting shoes. If you haven't already, you need to check out Joe in a pair of Gourmet Quadicis from 151 Pieces, seen below. To learn more about Gourmet (and get a cooking lesson), watch the interview we did with them after the break.

This past Friday we celebrated Frank Chapter 41: The Seventh Letter, with a party at the SURU store in Los Angeles. Representatives from both the Frank and Seventh Letter crews were in attendance, along with plenty of other friends and family. Frank151.com contributor PartyWithPanda (www.PartyWithPanda.com) and a few other photographers were on hand to make sure anyone unable to attend still gets to share in the experience.

Thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy the good company, tasty food provided by the Taco Nazo truck, and great drinks courtesy of Sailor Jerry Rum!

 As part of Google's "Chrome Experiments", the Canadian rock band Arcade Fire created an interesting music video but not in the traditional sense.

With the release of their third album "The Suburbs" in early August, the band, along with director Chris Milk, created an interactive music video for their song "We Used to Wait" that utilizes the latest web technology, HTML5, to bring you an experience that is unique to each person who views it.  

The viewer is asked to supply the address of your childhood home. After that, the "interactive film" takes you on a nostalgic journey through the streets of the neighborhood you grew up on with the Arcade fire setting the mood.

With the advent of HTML5 upon us, this could be the start of a new form of creating music videos.

Caveat: you must view the video through the Google Chrome browser.

Introducing MAKE NO!SE, a new lifestyle multimedia series where I highlight (via highly stylized photography and video) DC area creatives, such as artists, musicians, and DJs, that are making noise within their respective crafts/industries. Combined, these candid shots and video will tell two stories:

1.) How this person is building their brand
2.) The steps they take to create a branded project

In this first edition of MAKE NO!SE (photography by Rosina Teri Memolo and video by Opiyo Okeyo) supported by DC Shoes’ Life Collection, I highlight a DJ by the name of 2-Tone Jones. Check out the shoot below and click here for 2-Tone’s branded project – a mixtape inspired by the DC Life Collection…

As we mentioned last week, the North Coast Music Festival is hitting Chicago this weekend. We had tickets to give away to 3 Frank151.com members who best described, in 5 words or less, ex Governor Rod Blagojevich's hair. Here are our favorite 3:

bricas: "this thing is bleepin golden"


richee: "Holy Birds Nest Bat Man!!!!"


Cjack_Burnsburg: "Hairdo mantra: Bieber meets Douchebag."


Enjoy the show, gentlemen! And thanks to everyone who commented! If you didn't win, you can still get tickets to the Nort Coast Music Festival, here.


Stay tuned, more contests are right around the corner...

This past Saturday was the Rock The Bells music fest on Governors Island in New York. Frank came out in full force, giving out books and stickers at our tent. Thanks to everyone who came by.

The weather couldn't have been better for an outdoor music festival. With the main stage and the Paid Dues stage, there was never a lull in great music. Featured acts included Wu-Tang, A Tribe Called Quest, Lauryn Hill, and Snoop Dogg, and everyone who performed really did their thing. Besides the announced talents, quite a few cameos showed up, including Jay-Z, Beyonce, Busta Rhymes, John Legend, and Chris Rock.

There was so much going on, we had two great photographers there to make sure we didn't miss anything. Frank151 Photo Editor Craig Wetherby shot the show for us, along with legendary hip-hop photographer Joe Conzo. See their selects below...

Lastly we want to thank everyone at Rock The Bells for putting on an amazing show. It couldn't have gone better!

Really looking forward to this event – its one you don’t want to miss.  The illest thing about it is that this was conceived during a conversation Aniekan and I had 2-3 months ago. 

Wednesday, Sept 1 at The Fridge DC, 7pm to 11pm, located in the rear alley of 516 8th St SE (across from Matchbox, Capitol Hill). 

Live painting: each live painting will be inspired by and painted using a flavor of Vitamin Water of the artist’s choosing.
