Whats up everyone!!!!

Been a while huh?? Here is a video some of you may have not seen showing a recap of 2009. Things change and so does life and the date we put on our checks but somethings remain the same, somethings that are gone, aren’t really gone, and some things you knew would be there could be right around the corner…

What do I mean? We will just have to wait and see.

So some of you might have wondered why the blog has been so dead and some of you might have already heard the news but today I am announcing the end of Franco Shade/FRSH. Although I wish this was some sort of sick joke it isn’t and I can assure you all that we tried our best to not have this happen. I don’t want to only blame the economy as our downfall because there are other brands that are surviving in the same climate, along the way we made some poor choices which really hurt us. At this time I would rather not name those choices because I think it honestly doesn’t matter anymore. We hoped to come out with our Fall 09 line which finally had denim and what we thought was our best collection to date, unfortunately we couldn’t even afford to that and are going to be losing a lot of deposits we had placed on all those items. We have built quite a following on this site thanks to all of our loyal readers and daily visitors. I say this now with no promise of financial reward from any of you, I really appreciate you all. You hear people say without our fans and customers we are nothing or whatever corny cliche there is, but that is the truth here. I started this company 7 years ago and to think it could have lasted even this long is laughable. 

I really can’t say how much I appreciate everyone who was involved, I can’t even begin to name everyone but you see them on the blog on a daily basis you know who I am talking about. Our staff, like most staffs in the street wear industry worked for pennies. Thats one thing that most people don’t know is when you are seeing peoples blogs and they’re poppin’ bottles the truth is most of them all chipped in with 20 other people to buy that bottle and its a industry wide practice to just be broke and act rich. I will be starting a new personal website where I will still post videos and information about my friends brands and anything related, also I will be documenting my travels and transitions into the next chapter in my life. I will also keep you updated with all of the FRSH crew and what they are up to. I will post that site on twitter so if you want to know it, just follow me @teamfrsh if you aren’t already and I’ll get you guys that link. 

Again thanks so much for your support and I am sorry we couldn’t stretch it out a bit longer for you but sometimes you just gotta move on.

What’s up everyone! You may have heard Joe mention my name on previous posts. I’m that guy who supposedly had a 4 day hangover from my 21st birthday courtesy of Joe, Derek, Jeremy and the NID guys. This is my first official blog post and I am here to talk about Madden 10. I have currently played Joe, Tui and Be My Guest regular Jason Battle and have beaten all of them. According to Joe, I have a “Madden Cheat Code” that i use. Is there even such a thing in sports games like Madden? If I had a cheat code, i would’ve not let him score at all. Anyways, I just got the OK from Tui to play any challengers who still might want a free FRSH shirt IF (keyword IF) you beat me. First you have to follow me on Twitter (@monchFRSH) to set up the match. If you already won a shirt by playing Joe or Tui, you are not eligible to win a shirt IF you beat me. But if you want to play just for the hell of it, you are more than welcome to challenge me to a game. Just watch this video that i included. I was able to pull this off against Joe which is why he said that i have the secret “Madden Cheat Code”. I hope to hear from you guys in the future and keep posted for more blogs from me.

Here is the deal, tomorrow night at midnight Madden will release for all systems. Just like most of you we are going to geek out and be in line waiting for our copy for both PS3 and XBOX. How many of you are going to be doing the same?? Do you think you got game??

Starting Friday we will take open challenges for an entire week from any of you that want to play either Tui (XBOX 360) or myself (PS3). Make sure you are following us on Twitter to even be considered (@teamfrsh) and hit us up with a reply saying that you want a match and what time at night PST would be good for you. Once we confirm a match you will get one chance to play us and one chance only, beat us and get a FRSH T-Shirt FOR FREE!!

GL and get ready to get bossed…
