That’s right, Issue #2 of the “Tourists Guide to All Things Cool” is on the shelves, and just in time to guarantee that your wallet will be comatose come Memorial Weekend. Like you’ve come to expect from Antenna, this edition is packed cover to cover with everything you wish you had. Covering everything from Alfred Hitchckock and Alison Brie to kombucha and babaganoush, with a few dope threads peppered in-between, I expect the pages might get a little sticky from the sweaty fingertips – or something else (I mean if you’re into that sort of thing). Maybe it’s me but they always seem to pack the best stuff in the Summer volumes. Just sayin…

Alright turn everything down right now!

You hear that? Thats the sound of a quarter billion Apple fanboys creaming their pleated khaki trousers as we speak. When this pic of the so called “iWatch” surfaced, the entire gizmo geek universe came to a screeching halt. Cars were crashed, ships sank, buildings crumbled and a few Boeing jets fell from the sky, the tech world was in a state of total chaos. Unfortunately for the dead (and severly crippled survivors) all the hoopla was for naught, as it was revealed that the photo above was simply – shopped.

The “watch”, as designed by Italy’s ADR Studio, would feature an aluminum casing and full-color LCD screen, 16GB of internal storage, and could connect to the iPhone or iPad via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. And it would answer calls that come through on the iPhone in your pocket, or display RSS feeds, weather, or photos, and would even have a built-in pico projector for letting you show videos on a nearby wall.

Alas, this may very well be just another entry into the annals of Apple’s concept graveyard, but nonetheless it is a valiant (and uncannily attractive) effort to bring to life an idea that has been on the minds of gadget freaks for decades. But don’t hold your breath, even Jobs doesn’t think we’re ready for a timepiece that does damn near everything short of pick our noses. As our world continuously inches closer and closer to realizing all the technological marvels that we’ve only seen in the likes of anime shows and summer blockbusters (I’m still waiting for a lightsaber), it’s becoming apparent that our dreams of teleporters, light bikes, and holographic interfaces aren’t so far-fetched after all. Till then, we’ll just have to make due with our puny little iPhones.

How do you celebrate hitting your sales goal? You treat the whole crew (well, most of it) to a free meal (kinda) at one of the city’s finest steakhouses. And did we go in! Everything from prime cuts, to calamari, nothing on the menu was off limits – except for the “Porterhouse for Two”. You know we had our resident chef Kirk Cocaine schooling us on the menu’s best flavors, the dangers of corn-fed beef, and the proper pronunciation of Au Gratin. Sheed called the toast and found a new nickname, and yours truly just snapped away (although the dim lighting made it difficult to get things right). Of course there had to be one ignorant homeboy as young Chris in all his glory opted for a bowl of fries to offset his seafood allergies. Obviously, no get together like this would be complete without some discussion for the next month’s game plan, so check for us to up the ante and 1up our April numbers. But on behalf of the whole Fam, I can’t forget to thank all our friends, fans, followers – pretty much whoever’s reading this post – out there for the endless support, cause without you the F² would stand for “Fully Folded” or something like that (I couldn’t think of anything better). Perhaps next time I’ll be typing this from Japan, who knows? One thing’s for sure though – it’s good to be family.

If you haven’t seen it already, pick up a copy of The Metro Proponent and see our page 1 ad featuring some dope looks rocked by our fam Royal-Tee, Revenue, King Carter and S-Dub.

Over the weekend our boy Keelan took some of the fam out to his “Paw Paw’s” cove out by Lake Norman. Of course you know I had to tag along to get a few shots of the outing, but between the lake’s zen-like serenity, the satirical reminiscing – not to mention the unholy levels of alcohol intoxication – finding the will necessary to pry me from my rod (pause) and actually take a break came as somewhat of a challenge. But we got the shots we needed, and the other guys even got in on the action as well.

Apparently begginer’s luck didn’t quite shine in my favor, as I didn’t catch as much as a single bite. In fact the only fish hooked all day was caught by Rome, of all people (and you thought urban dudes couldn’t fish). As the sun went down we packed up and headed to the lodge, as drunk as Irish sailors, just to chat and mellow out. To be honest, I can’t really remember much of the conversation, I just know we had a really good time.
