Last call for BRIGHT DIARIES

Make sure to get your copy of BRIGHT DIARIES, dudes! Failing this would mean you'll miss interviews with Ashley Smith, Dirty Beaches and Harmony Korine plus art works by Todd Jordan, Ted Pushinsky, Magaret Durow, Will Sweeney, Minh Tran, Team Macho and more. Go, grab on or do it like our beloved BRIGHT office mistresses Lissi and Laure: ripp it into pieces and tape it on the wall. Whatever.

KR3W @ Bright

Not sure if Jello would like this one, but still great: Winston Smith for KR3W!

Boardshorts, bag pack, shirt and tee available in spring 14. Booth 235.

Powell-Peralta @ BRIGHT

Don't miss to check out the very pinkish and original retro deck from 1985 by Lance Mountain that Powell-Peralta just released after their legendary Bones Brigade vid. Go back in time or  straight to their booth 244. (nada)

RVCA @ BRIGHT

RVCA is clearly focussed on details, like constantly working with their advocates and taking fair productions seriously.
