Anthropological studies conducted in the mall: dwellers and their habits

So after last night's adventure, I woke up and finished that post, had a few, and then went out to meet up my homies Tachi and Conrad. They were DJing an in-store for the adidas store. This is the mall's idea of an "in-store"

Japanese canned coffe: fission bombs on roids (up there with viet coffee even though this one had no caffine)

busted out the creep cam. Like a true conductor of a study, one must be discrete in order to capture and study the habits of the mall dwellers in their natural habitat: utterly stupefied.

In a hurry

In a daze

In a rage

I don't think he liked the 'ethnic music'

InTense (yeah, she's pregnant, at least it seemed so)

In...bad taste
This lady must have been in her 50s and in some little ass cutchie shorts like that...not classy at all.

Wait...they sell beer at the mall now?!?

Went out for a cig. like Rockwell said, "why does it feel like, somebody's watchin me?" cuz they probably are.

Kev decided to stop by to spin some vinyl he just grabbed at the meet of swapping

Even the kids get down when he hits the decks

Pictures of...pictures


maxin, relaxin

some characters

Eastern Europeans can't resist a good bass line and a beat


"You don't like-a de Untz-a-Untz-a?"


Went for Ramen after wards at mitsuwa


Where we came across this odd meeting of what seemed to be strangers...things looked a bit cultish off in their little corner


This lady was in this wild outfit that looked like it snuck out of my mom's closet back in 87, those bright purples and pinks and reds. Her hair was honestly, scarily impeccable, like Jane Jetson but blonde...with a blank cartoon stare (no blinks) to match. The crowd seemed to follow her like some guru


That's herd mentality for ya...

Just to prove how bright the herd can be, my friend needed some cigs from the 7-eleven and as I stood waiting outside, two of them walked past me...

The lady was happily commenting on how much she loves to have a job that allows her to travel..."I worked in Antartica, twice before..." The Indian (yes, India Indian) turned to her with a rather funny look and asked her, "Where???" She replied, "Antartica...ya know? The bottom of the world." If those are the perks of the cult, count me out.

All in all, I'd have to say that mall dwellers are rather interesting and particular, some are happy, some are sad, some greedy, some just glad to be there and alive. Enjoy your days off herd-folk, you need em to do more of nothing next week.

oh yeah...and the dreams drawn...
from this

to this (while listening to the homies play tunes in the middle of the damn mall, birthed on that bench)


enjoy the night y'all!
