Lakai-o-u

Maybe it's all a big hoax and "Fully Flared" will actually drop by summer's end, but comments on Lakai.com and 411vm.com strongly hint that the highly hyped and even more highly anticipated video will not be out until Thanksgiving. Yes, Thanksgiving; late November. That trailer came out what, about a year ago? People need to stop using "coming soon" so liberally.

On an entirely different note, resident wildman, Bill Cunningham had a recent run-in with Johnny Law that you might find as hilarious as I do. So Wild Bill's got a case of bottled beverages and he and a friend, who will remain anonymous, were sitting across the street from the "O" enjoying said beverages. Bill empties one and throws it against a wall, shattering it of course. A cop notices and yells at Bill to "Get over here." Bill goes "ummm... Fuck that" and bolts only to be chased down by a few of Oakland's "Finest." Long story short, the cop thought Bill was 17 (he's 21) and Bill ended up with a punch to the face and the cop taking $6 from his wallet and his brand new packet of cigarettes. It might be a fair trade considering the possible fine/ citation he would have gotten otherwise. My favorite part of this story is that Bill went back to the spot to get the hat he dropped when he ran, and across the street he saw the cops puffing away on his pack of smokes. Justice prevails.
