I almost forgot that I went to Los Angeles for a reason.

Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles!!

Well that and the Adidas / David Beckham party. So after I indulged in what seemed to be the oddest combination of foods (fantastic by the way), it was time to head out to the event. And yes I put syrup on my chicken.

The party was what I imagined a Los Angeles party to be… celeb city. Quincy Jones and his daughters, Snoop Dogg, Ben Stiller, Anthony Michael Hall (16 Candles? Ask Deon), Mister Cartoon, Ciara, and Eva Longoria were a few of the notables that were there to support David Beckham. Dj Muggs and a trumpet player provided the music and there was paparazzi outside the club in trees, under cars and in disguise. Big shouts to Lucci and James Bond for taking care of us.

With Deon and Uncle Lucci. I think Lucci is the closest thing I ever had to an uncle. He’s an O.G., design genius, and has infinite insight. Thanks for the love Greg!

I lost Deon in the crowd and when I realized it I headed to the bar to find him. The bar is like the customer service counter at Caldors. When you loose someone you automatically head there in hopes of reuniting. I didn’t mean to interrupt his conversation with Eva Longoria. Sorry.

After the Adidas event we rolled to a spot where Romanelli was hosting an art show. First thing out of his mouth was “where’s Fresh?”

This is the interview we did with House of Pain after our super successful Adidas Campus launch at Concepts.

A lot of history in the room, H.O.P., Dante Ross, Ill Bill, Slaine and Slick… It was a blessing to have everyone there at the same time and another blessing to rub elbows with legends.

Peep video below.

HOUSE OF PAIN & ADIDAS Campus 80 Sneaker Release: St. Patty’s Day from Peter Dudgeon on Vimeo.

Yes we did!!! Connect the dots…Concepts…Boston…Adidas….House of Pain…….ST. PATRICK’S DAY…nuff said. Bodied it.

Check out the madness here!!

Let’s be for real.

When you think of Boston, you can’t help but to think of it’s legendary St. Patrick’s Day events, parades and drink-a-thons. If the soundtrack for the Puerto Rican Day Parade was Hector Lavoe, Marc Anthony or maybe Big Pun or Fat Joe… St. Paddy’s Day’s anthem would be House of Pain’s “Jump Around”. I dare you to argue that.

So being in Boston I thought it was only right to unify all those elements into something that made the locals get rowdy and spill their drinks. Oh, wait… that’s normal!

On Tuesday, March 17th, House of Pain (all 3 members) will be at Concepts to launch their Adidas Campus colab designed by Danny Boy (with the rest of La Coka Nostra on hand).

We are also raffling off 5 authentic Adidas Celtics jerseys custom made for the launch. I would tell you how many were made but the number is so small you’d get mad at me!

Come down and meet the band, get a drink, cop a shoe, win a jersey… put on some shit kickers and kick some shit…. and enjoy what the Irish gave the world… St. Paddy’s Day!!!
