This strain is the one that everyone brings up when they try to nay-say marijuana. In no way at all does Green Crack have anything to do with real crack or even butt cracks for that matter. This strain was originally known as "Cush" and hit the scene in the early 90's in SoCal. Somewhere in its travels thru California, Cush got sold to Snoop Dogg and his crew. Its said that Snoop Dogg took a few hits of Cush and said that he was going to call it Green Crack for now on because of how quickly it hits you with energy and how much he just wanted to keep smoking it. This strain is a fantastic morning weed. It gives you every benefit of caffeine and gives you a lot of creative juices. Artist tend to keep Green Crack around cause of how well it helps to break through creative barriers. A great med for anyone who needs motivation, stress relief, anti-depression and pain relief. This is one of the most sought after strains out!!! Have a hazy week ya pot heads! -Colin
TRAINWRECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I. Fa-king. Love. This. Strain!!!! Seriously tho, one of the best scented and best tasting types of marijuana in my opinion. If you are looking for a cerebral “head high”, as the kids are calling it these days, this is a perfect strain to pick up. Trainwreck has been a household name for us marijuana abusers for decades now. I’m sure if you said the name “trainwreck” around your hippy parents, they would know exactly what you’re talking about. Besides giving a crazy awesome head buzz, this strain is great for patients that suffer from depression, anxiety, appetite stimulant, cramps associated with PMS, RLS, DDD, nausea, muscle aches, and eases pain from nerve damage. I personally have found myself leaning towards this strain whenever I’m in need of a pick me up. It helps take a bad mood and turn it right around. It’s also great to smoke during the day because it gives you a euphoric state of mind with a high amount of energy.
Smoke em if you got em boys and girls! Have a gnarly week!

It's coming whether we like it or not. That old-ass bitch, winter. I often like to stave off the brutal Michigan chill with beverages of the higher alcohol content variety. Including barley wines, quads and every once in a while, a cider. Hard ciders are gaining popularity at an insane speed here in the US and people are going nuts for them. Whether you think you have a gluten intolerance(you don't) or you just simply don't like beer, ciders are becoming the choice for a lot of people now. One cider I had tried last year simply blew me away as I had never heard of ciders being made this way. Aged in whiskey barrels. And why not? Beer is. Mead is. Virtue cider out of Fennville, MI makes tons of great ciders, but The Mitten just does a mouth good. A blend of seasons past ciders and fresh pressed cider brings not only tartness, but the unique qualities a whiskey barrel can impart. Vanilla, caramel and hints of oak mix with sweet and sour aged and fresh apples. It's one of life's perfect marriage of flavors. Pair with friends and fires. Oh, and donuts. Cheers!

I'm stepping outside of the box with this week's #wcw feature, to bring you my ultimate crush --besides Alexander McQueen like, always..
The Koenigsegg One:1 Sweden's 280 MPH Carbon Fiber Hypercar
The name One:1 comes from the power (1360 PS) to weight (1360 kg) ratio giving the car 1 PS per 1 kg weight. The 1360 PS power output is the equivalent of one megawatt, which Koenigsegg is claiming makes the One:1 the ‘World's First Megacar."
The One:1 is equipped with a variant of the same 5.0-litre Twin Turbo Charged Engine, used in the Ageras.The One:1 boasts a phenomena 1,360 horsepower at 7,500 RPM, and 1,000 NM (737 lb ft) of torque from 3,000 until 7,500 RPM. The total weight of the engine is only 434 lbs thanks to a the Carbon Fiber Intake Manifold, and Aluminium Construction. The transmission is a 7-speed Dual Clutch Paddle Shifter.
Koenigsegg is only creating six, uniquely developed and designed One:1 Models (all of which have already been purchased.) This is one of the most exclusive production car programs ever conceived.
Now, I promise that I'll be back to crushing on all things fashion next week..
Or maybe not, I mean, I am a Motor City Girl after all...

I like my blondes like I like my coffee... tasting like coffee. Bean Flicker by Odd Side Ales is sure to blow your mind a little. It's a blonde ale so it's translucent yellow in color but when you put it in your mouth your pallet is overcome with coffee. I don't know how they did it, but I'm glad they did. They removed all the gut heavy weight of a coffee stout but left the flavor and shoved it into a sessionable, easy drinking blonde. Perfect for a summer day and easy on the alcohol. Smooth on the pallet with light carbonation. A nose of vanilla, almost brownies. Pair this beer with more of these beers. They're tasty as hell. Cheers!

Finally a style that's slowly becoming more easily available. The Berliner Weisse. A beer native to Germany, this is a funky take on a wheat beer (weisse). Light in color, cloudy and best of all, sour. Usually a Berliner will vary from light tart to that back-of-the-mouth sour bite you get chomping into a fresh granny smith apple. Typically, in this beers homeland, it is sweetened with a raspberry or woodruff syrup but this hasn't even come close to catching on in the states. Evil twin has decided to create a most easily drinkable Berliner that, while still having an abv of 4%, is still packing that great sour punch. The 6 pack of cans may be my favorite container to face delivery method. Found wherever specialty beers are sold. And as always, if you can't find any of these beers I review, don't hesitate to ask your favorite local beer store. More often than not than can get what you need. Cheers!

No trends forecasting, no seasons, no cares of what's "hot" or "in style". Just plain ol vintage style tees, made to beloved by their owner's.
These tees are probably best worn while watching Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds in "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas," riding off into the sunset on your '75 Honda Cafe Racer, or drinking Cheap Whiskey at your favorite Local Dive.
Regardless of how you don Bandit Brand, you're going to look like one Hell of a Badass.
Go get your Vintage Art, or Hand Drawn Tees and remember... Ladies love Outlaws,
xo, Sar.
We are taking a step away from the Detroit Rock City to draw your attention over seas to Melbourn Australia. Totally a random find but we want to introduce you guys to this rad band " Brittle Bones." The band is extremely knew but they are making some music worth paying attention to.
Check out this teaser for Buffalo Girls
and this brand new track (just released) called White Elephant!
Heres some pics from our recent shoot with the talented Trevor Dernai (aka LFTY_ )
featuring our two brand new designs:
Our 2nd Gen Snap Back and our Murder Mitten Tee
Model Cred to Casey Jones and Ashley Mendoza and Jeremy Don Gottie aka "SIlly"
A few weeks back we had the pleasure of interviewing 1876 front man Fernando Solis. I can say without any hesitation that Solis is one of the most entertaining frontmen we have seen in ages. Solis talks about their current EP, the upcoming festival season, and writing for the new record.
Short's Soft Parade. You've had it. Bitches love that shit. Unfortunately, however, they have no idea what they're drinking. They just "want something fruity that isn't really like a beer.". Au contraire, mon cheri, it's still very much a beer you're drinking. In fact, it's a rye beer so it's even more beer than you realize. Included in that rye wort is 200 pounds of pureed strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. On paper this is very much a beer but once it's in your face hole it feels more like a wine. At 7.5% abv this is still a kick in the groin region (that's right ladies, it's no longer 9%). Not the best fruit beer you could come across, especially if you live in the Mitten (the only place Short's distributes their beer to), but it sure is good. Guy's it's okay to order this beer too. Don't worry, you won't ever see your bartender roll his eyes at you. Cheers!

Meet Carter Jones of the band Antevorta. We first ran into carter last month at the Modex Massacre. Antevorta played the very last spot at the end of a long three day fest. Even though everyone was tired and worn out Carter was still the guy who was running jumping and rolling around on stage! We definitely appreciated their energy and commitment to playing even when you are tired and worn out! So we invited Carter over for a quick interview and talk about their upcoming ep! Check out the video and all their tracks on Itunes.
Gouden Carolus Cuvee Van De Keizer! A top of it's class Belgian dark strong ale brewed every year on the 24th of February to celebrate the birth of Charles the Fifth. Also known as Cuvée of the Emperor this exceptional beer is a special version of the Golden Carolus Classic, with a huge flavor profile and mysterious aromas added. Sweeter malts and elevated abv at 11% give this beer an almost wine sensation in the mouth. Kept with a cork and cage, perfect for sticking in your basement and forgetting about it for a year or so (but age-able for up to 10 years!). Shit, I'd get two and drink one fresh and sit on one. This is such an incredible, flavorful beer. Something that is so special it should never be drank alone. Get someone you know who has never had anything bigger than a Bud light and let them have a glass. Not only will they be drunk before they know what hits them, they may fall in love with better beer! That's win/win in my book. Cheers!

It's like a super beer. Three styles in one. Dogfish Head's India brown ale is a Scotch ale, an IPA and an American Brown ale all in one. The balance on this beer is ridiculous and because Dogfish doesn't like to brew weak beers, this one is up there at 7.2% abv but drinks like a 5%, due to organic brown sugar. Dry hopped to give the nose a huge punch of hops much like the 60 and 90 minute IPA's they make. Sweet like molasses, chocolatey-coffee type flavors and great hop profiles in the middle range of about 50 IBU. This beer is one of my favorites and it can be yours too. Pair with smoked meats, braised meats and I guess most barbeque. Because it's that time of year anyway, stick this in your throat hole and thank me later. Cheers!
