So I have traveled from Normandy to Brighton to Worcester and we have been rehearsing all day. Tomorrow we leave to embark on the first leg of the tour, Germany. As a little project to keep me busy, I am going to upload an eleven second video each day from each new place we visit. I’ve created a vimeo channel to house them all nicely. I’ve called it ‘The Deer Run In Panic’, because I’ve been waiting a long time to use that name for something.

After thousands of entries, here at Umbro we can unveil the finalists in our competition to customise the sole on a pair of Specialis. The response we had was amazing, with a fantastic range of designs from different ages and different countries around the world. These are the final 14, chosen from the thousands of different designs by a team of judges which included Umbro designers Stuart Semple and Stewart Scott-Curran, and Esquire’s art director David McKendrick. I won.

Luke is a winner. Rad news.

Brighton Beach tonight. More here.

Packing for tour is hard.
Not sure if all this will fit.

Lots of talk tonight about distant future and not so distant future plans.
King of England is going to take some pretty cool steps in January.
2010 could be a pretty great year. I have some pretty great friends.

I have spent 20 summers here. It rules beyond words.

What a dude.

Basquiat was so good. I’d give a limb to watch him do a painting.

This is so fucking incredible.

Stephen Wiltshire is the current blower of fine art minds at the Pratt Institute and pretty much everyone else in existence. With a quick fly-by via helicopter for a view of New York’s skyline, Mr. Wiltshire is recreating the cityscape from memory on a 20-foot panoramic mural. Born with autism and limited communicative skills, his amazing photographic memory and knack for drawing shows a tremendous insight on the capabilities of the human mind. Catch him create his masterpiece in person at the Pratt Institute or via web cam, before this week ends.
