Celebrate the rich lager that heralds the end of the winter brewing season and the coming of spring at Shop Bock, a shopping event at the local, independent stores of historic Over-the-Rhine during Bockfest, March 4-6.

Here’s how it works: buy a special Shop Bock bag at participating stores for $3 and receive discounts on most merchandise. Each bag comes with a Shop Bock 2011 button! Proceeds from sales of Shop Bock bags benefit Over-the-Rhine Foundation.
Be sure to continue the celebrations with a stop at the one-of-a-kind restaurants or bars in the area!

Saturday 10.9 from 11am to 3pm, Red Bull is turning Fountain Square into a high speed go kart track…

In the words of Mannie Fresh "How You Luv That"

Went to the Obey Giant exhibit opening party last night and I swear it was a million people in line…

The line went down the street and around the corner… It was much too cold for all that lol so me, Dubs, and Warren walked to the front to see what was good…

Low and behold the doorman shopped at OTR the week before!!! Needless to say, we skipped the line.

Check out the flix I took before “Top Flight Security of the World” made me put my cam away.

Not part of the Obey exhibit, but I took a picture of it so look at it.

Check me out, I was included in a very interesting story that ran here on Cincinnati’s Fox 19 10 o’clock news program. There are 2 parts to this story and I was part of day one… I’m very grateful for the opportunity and would like to thank Kimberly Homles of Fox 19 for giving me the opportunity to take part as well as the opportunity to feature the Original Thought Required boutique.

The first part actually shows the space before we opened, so you get to see how far we’ve come…

…but the shop looks DOPE at the end

This Friday (01.29.2010) aTYPICALsOLE’s storefront; Original Thought Required, will open up in Cincinnati’s historic Over the Rhine neighborhood.

Original Thought Required is a Male/Female contemporary streetwear boutique and we’ll be selling a variety of up and coming brands from all over the country as well as aTYP, so you’ll def see something new when you come out.

Like I mentioned before, the shop will open up on Friday 01.29.2010… for the Gateway Quarter’s Final Friday event (which occurs the last Friday of every month). We’ll have special opening day hours, from 5pm-10pm, and will commence normal business hours going forward.

Come down Friday, have a drink with us (from 7-10pm), and buy some stuff lol
