Big Earn Goes to Philly!

A good friend of ours decided he was going to move to Philly to teach kids and better the world. He goes by the name of Earn and he is like the little brother to the BPC. We decided it would only be right if we sent him out the proper way, BPC style. We made a few calls and rounded up some of the city's best performers to really make this a night for all of us to remember. BZE and Dos Noun are our homies and when it comes to freestyling in Pittsburgh they are the kings, they both agreed to come rock the spot. We knew we needed a dope DJ, so we thought who else but world infamous DJ Hank D to come through and spin that real hip-hop. There was still one element missing so we called up Pittsburgh's finest breakdancing crew The Get Down Gang, Teena Marie and D-Smilez came through to show us their stylish acrobatics. I can't forget to mention the pleasant surprise that BZE brought through, he is a breakdancing instructor at this little camp they call Woodward and he goes by the name of Kid Cuba. Kid Cuba just so happened to be in town the night of the party and really put on a show for everyone. Here are a few flicks of what went down.

All in all it was a good night with good people and good vibes. I want to thank everyone who helped make this event possible. Shout outs to the Blasfamily, Beedie, BZE, Dos Noun, The Get Down Gang, Kid Cuba, and everyone else that came through to send Big Earn off.

ill shit, ill people ... period

We've been havin some ill people come through the shop.

Pittsburgh MC Beedie stopped through to pick up a shirt order for his crew, the Varsity Squad. Check out his myspace for show dates and to hear some tracks. Cop his mixtape from Time Bomb Spot if you know what's good for you.

The homie Seth came through, which was an awesome treat considering his wild ass has been busy squatting in Maui for the past year or so. He made time on his trip back to the 'Burgh to stop through the shop.

Do you have a picture of yourself or your homies rocking BOOT PRINTS CREW gear? Take a picture! Send photos to Bootprinting@gmail.com

Blogs are neat but hard to keep

We suck at keeping a blog, you already know. This is another attempt to do this on a regular basis. We have been slammed with work this summer, and shit just keeps gettin better. We did the biggest job through the doors this week courtesy of the Pittsburgh Black Family Reunion (Big ups to Twitter for this job).

(Back)

(Front)

The shirts were designed by Dreamers and Believers (@dandbapparel). They are a sick ass self-made clothing company from Pittsburgh. T-Shirts and Wovens available at Time Bomb now.

Another sick job we did this week was for local rap ruffians The Varsity Squad. Jon Quest, Beedie, and Shade Cobain deliver hard hitting punch lines and creative concepts. Check the next blog for more about them.

Seriously though, we really are going to keep at it this time, so check back for more.
