Kinda funny how some things work out.  I didn’t want to spam you guys with a bunch of individual posts, so I was trying to figure out how to tie things together that made sense to me.  How this turned out to be mostly related to our Hawaii peeps, I’m not sure… you guys are just rockin’ it like that.  Maybe I should have edited my title…

Okay, first, our brotha East3 wanted me to make sure that you guys put this on your calendar!  The SF/Bay Area’s own Mighty 4 will be at the University Of Hawaii, Manoa on December 5 “Honoring Hawaiian Hip Hop History”.  If you’ve  got roots in any of the elements of hip hop, DJing, MCing, Graffiti, Break-Dancing, you’ll want to be there!  And, if you’re not familiar with Mighty 4, take a minute and check out their site.

Vinyl nuts – no, not records – but the toys, check out the Angry Woebots (Aaron Martin) interview by Jesse Hernandez, posted on his Vinyl Addiction site the other day.  Angry Woebots announced that he’ll have a new toy coming out through StrangeCo, although there’s no information on exactly when that will drop.

For more on Angry Woebots, check out Army of Snipers and  ArtsProjekt.

In related news, here’s the final cut video from Estria’s 3rd Annual Invitational Graffiti Battle held here in Oakland, CA.  The word was GROW, as in “grow”ing graffiti into a legitimate art form.  You’ll definitely want to check out final pieces at the end of the video!  Sick!

Lastly, I wanted to follow up on a previous article: Subway Art: 25th Anniversary Edition.  If you haven’t gotten a copy of this yet, I don’t know what you’re waiting for… it’s incredible… and huge!  The hardcover copy that I got measures ~17″X12″ and even has the same fold-outs as the original!

There appears to be two versions of the 25th Anniversary Edition, but I’m not sure if there’s any differences other than the cover.  The ISBN of the one pictured is 978-0-500-51454-2, which I found on eBay.  The other version, available from Amazon, has a picture of Dondi on the cover.
