If you have never been to Philly I suggest you do so very soon. As the weather grows colder the city doesn't back down from a good time.

Grey on Gray with Graye watching
I've been looking for a good single button grey blazer in a tweed or something but it is still pretty hot down here in Austin so I probably won't get to actually wear it until december but you never know. This one is from Topman if you are interested in that sort of dribble.

Las Vegas
Last weekend I took a journey out to Las Vegas, Nevada with 4 gentlemen and scholars. We found a talent for betting on the ponies and brunch at the Rio. I don't recommend spending over 36 hours in this city.

This is a great idea
22-year-old accused of posing as student released
ODESSA, Texas — A 22-year-old man accused of posing as a high school basketball player in Texas was released from jail Wednesday.
Guerdwich (GURD-which) Montimere posted $500 bond a day after he was arrested on a charge of failure to identify himself to a police officer, said Ector County sheriff's Sgt. Debbie Bruce.
School officials said Montimere admitted posing as Jerry Joseph, a 16-year-old sophomore who led Permian High School to the state playoffs. Permian is the same school made famous in the football movie "Friday Night Lights."
Suspicions about the player's identity first arose when three Florida basketball coaches familiar with Montimere recognized him last month at an amateur tournament in Little Rock, Ark. Montimere graduated from Dillard High School in Fort Lauderdale in 2007.
The 6-foot-5 Montimere presented himself as Joseph after moving to Odessa in February 2009 and enrolling as a ninth-grader at a junior high, said school district spokesman Mike Adkins.
He showed officials a Haitian birth certificate indicating he was 15 and claimed he was living with a half-brother in the dorm of a local university, Adkins said.
Montimere eventually admitted the person was a friend, not his half-brother, when the friend left the state last summer. Montimere then moved in with Permian boys basketball coach Danny Wright, Adkins said.
Permian administrators said they received an anonymous e-mail April 27 that alerted them to Montimere's true identity. Officials initially rejected the allegation, and a judge granted Wright legal guardianship that allowed Montimere to remain enrolled at the school, Adkins said.
But school officials, police and ICE agents confirmed Montimere's identity Tuesday, and he confessed after being confronted, Adkins said.
The district said Joseph claimed to be an illegal immigrant from Haiti, but authorities determined he was actually a naturalized U.S. citizen from Haiti.
If convicted of the misdemeanor, Montimere could face up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $2,500. Bruce said there was no record of an attorney for Montimere.
The allegations against Montimere mean Permian will probably have to forfeit the 2009 basketball season in which it advanced to the playoffs.
Montimere was named newcomer of the year.

The Finer Things
A couple years ago B.Miller and myself got into the World Cup and "the finer things in life". It was a summer filled with some of the finest cooking and bronzing we had seen in our short lifetimes.

Movie
I went to see Greenberg last night. We were the only ones in the theater but I had high expectations for this film because I think Noah Baumbach is talented individual. The movie is very slow going but Ben Stiller plays a character that I semi-cared to find out more about. Noah Baumbach seems to be really interested in periods of life when people have little direction such as post graduation of college in "Kicking and Screaming" and middle age which he is approaching. This movie was a little strange as far as a normal movie structure goes. I didn't love it but didn't hate it either and kind of want to give it a second viewing to see if the melancholy can be more insightful. I think I new what Baumbach was saying but he didn't do it with as much comedic moments as expected. I'm no film critc but the preview sets a totally different tone for this movie than what is actually in the film. The preview sets it up as a man who discovers something profound but wasn't expecting to. However, the movie lacks the experiences that make this relization compelling to watch. (I recommend watching it but maybe rental not theater)

Rocky Mountain Heisman
The Colorado Rockies drafted Tim Tebow last night. Tebow is known for his great wind up and pitching arm....wait, what's that? The Broncos drafted Tebow? To play what? Oh, well I don't agree with that one bit.

New iphone found in a bar
Gizmodo has managed to get its hands on the next-gen iPhone, and has posted videos and photos of the new handset. At this point we’re pretty much certain it is this summer’s new model.
Our good friends at the Giz have had the handset for a week, and despite not being able to get past the “connect to iTunes” screen of any new iPhone, they have fully documented it and even opened the thing up. Somebody at Apple is in big trouble.
The rear case is, as we saw this morning, flat and shiny. It seems to still be plastic, though, rather than ceramic or glass as rumored (the Giz folks aren’t sure), and the chassis and sides of the body are aluminum. There is a front-facing video-conferencing camera, a high-res screen (which is such “high quality that it was impossible to discern individual pixels”) and a micro-SIM slot, mimicking that found on the iPad. This slot is on the side, moved from the top.
There is also a bigger camera lens and a flash. No, not that Flash – a camera flash, and also a second microphone for noise cancellation, like that on the Nexus One. The other major changes are that two round volume buttons replace the previous rocker-switch, and the whole case is thinner than the current iPhone 3GS.
Inside, many of the parts are proper Apple components, and they have been shrunk to make room for a bigger battery. When hooked up to iTunes or Apple’s developer tools, it also identifies itself as an iPhone. In short, it looks like the real deal.
Like we said, somebody at Apple will be getting into trouble over this. The prototype was lost in a bar in Redwood City, and was sat inside a custom case which makes it look just like a 3GS from the outside, complete with custom cut-outs for reaching the new hardware controls. Apple certainly wanted to keep this one a secret. We believe that this might be the biggest leak from Apple that we have ever seen. It is also a hot-looking iPhone.

Honest & Respectable Bevies
Hey why can't I get this stuff down in Austin? It was everywhere in NYC. Tell me if you have seen it in Austin. (and this isn't the honest tea they sell at Whole Foods. It is a special group of them, they come in plastic bottles)

This is crazy. That is two deep fried chicken breasts as the buns on a bacon sandwich. Available only at KFC.

I had a chance to visit the Gato Heroi space a couple years ago with Alex Knost and those kids seem to be having a good time making some interesting shapes and experimenting with dying t-shirts and boards. Gato Heroi
TNS
John, Cameron and myself have been playing some tennis. The US Open is coming soon. Some call boxing the "Sweet Science" I like to call tennis "Bright Math". It is a game of inches and apparently Pete Sampras is a bad tipper.

Rockaway
I can feel Rockaway Beach calling to me. The long journey out there for a crowded surf break is one of the best feelings on a warm day. I recommend sandwiches from that grocery on 90th street.
