PAUSE AT SCENE MUSIC FESTIVAL THIS SUNDAY!
Hey man,
What are you up to this Sunday? Wanna hang out? I'll be at the SCENE music festival, at the Pause Designs booth all day. It's in St. Catharines ON, and it has 160 bands, on 17 stages. Not too shabby! You ought to stop by. Tickets are like, $25 or something. That's 15 cents a band.
That cute girl that did those Old Navy commercials is playing. And those guys who went to spring break and had a TV show about on MTV will be there too. So, them, plus 158 others.
Anyway, come and find me in Market Square, I'll be the guy surrounded by Pause t-shirts. We'll go grab some pizza and see some bands or something. Who knows!
Oh, check out the SCENE
website to see who else is playing this year too.
See you there!

SPLASH PANIC!
Growing up, I lived very close to the Ontario/New York border. Everything I know about Buffalo, I learned from their local television channels that would come in crystal clear on my TV. To me, Buffalo was a place where everyone sued everyone when they got into car accidents. A place where they have two Arby's restaurants for every three residents. A place where they'd let
anyone have a commercial on TV, regardless of how low their budget was. Where Celino and Barnes ruled with an iron fist. And where the everyone pronounced words like "Bar" and "Cannibal Corpse", "Berr" and "Melodious".
Basically, it was paradise.
But last month I learned a little more about Buffalo. You see, besides all the weird and wonderful things Buffalo puts on TV, it's also home to one of the greatest indie shops in North America. Scratch that. The world.
Splash Panic has been setting the awesome bar miles high ever since they opened early last year.
Splash Panic was started by two handsome devils: Amanda and Andrew. (A.K.A. The Double A Alliance) Not only is their shop superbly decorated, fun, and always chock full of babes, but they are also the only shop in New York to carry such brands as Design By Humans, Threadless, Alternative Apparel, American Apparel, Holly Hue, Indi Denim, and as of last week...*drumroll*...Pause Designs!
Needless to say, they are exactly what we look for in a shop, and we're quite excited about working with them.
I could try and explain how awesome this shop is here, but you're really better off going to see it for yourself:

Well, the interview we did for Senioritis a couple weeks ago answers at least one of those questions. Check it out in it's entirety

STEVE
Sorry about the lack of posts these past few days. Things have been a little hectic around here. You see, last Monday we had a new roommate move in with us. His name is Steve, and it turns out he isn't as easy to live with as we initially thought.
We figured it would be fun to have someone new around the house. He'd help with the chores, ease up the rent for the rest of us, and allow us to have even teams when we play candyland every Tuesday.
But as it turns out, it's not like that at all. All Steve does is hang around the house all day, eat all of our food, and nap. He doesn't even have a job! In fact, I even had to pay Steve's old landlord off in order to get him into Canada. Unpaid rent or something. He wouldn't say. I've known him a week and already he's into me a cool $600! Oh, but it gets worse. Last week, I was sitting on the couch, minding my own business, when Steve comes waltzing in (possibly drunk) walks in front of me, and pees right on the carpet! I shit you not. Right in front of me! Then he just walks out of the room like it's the most normal thing in the world.
But get this, despite Steve's obvious lack of caring and hygiene, he is an absolute chick magnet. Seriously. He's Sean Connery times a million. Cute girls are constantly coming up to him on the street and putting their hands all over him! I've never seen anything like it. I'm basically invisible when he's around. I mean, yeah, admittedly it does make pickpocketing a lot easier for me. But still. It's the principal of thing.
