Odd future Pop up Shop

When? 28th march
Where? Bricklane

This was the first installment of Odd Future 6 day "OF SweatShop."

Since the school strike was that wednesday a lot of young kids had filled up the queue on the opening. All geared up in their supreme, huf, obey and snap back. All waiting in the beating sun to meet their idols.

I met up with my BF to see where he was in the queue. Instead of being in the queue he was off side lookin on to the crowd with his red stripe beer cans.

OF where very kind and greeted their fans before heading in to the shop. They left around 4ish and as soon as they left the queue had halved in size. A clever move that my BF had made.

I left to go work and found out that my BF spent £400 of merch. One word DUMB

the clothing was decent priced from £35 for a tee to £50 for a hoody. However the quality was shit. It was obvious that everything was made as cheap as possible for maximum profit.

The print quality, the finish the everything - worse than primark quality . YET people still splashed out their money on the goods. 1 pair of socks £15 a foam hand £10. Most of the youngers brought these items as it was all they could afford. And it was most probably funded via EMA money haha!

Anyway so since my BF spent a S load of money and mind u, he was half drunk aswell. They asked him to go back the next day so he could get his albumn signed since he missed them earlier.

So THURSDAY came. And i went along with him. This time the crowd was older. And again Odd Future was there. These guys are nuts.

I saw a bag of weed on the table and when i mean bag i mean a BAGGGG. These guy were hi of their face. Red eyed and shiet. And you fort spending £400 was bad!? A short fat and round little boy say about 11 years old, spent £650 on merch!! One word RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!

Anyway so my BF got his albumn signed and i was about to take a pic of him and left brain then hos security guard told me to stop takin pics or he'll break my phone. Obese cunt! so we didnt get the picture but we got the albumn signed. Why he stopped me from takin a picture i do not know =\

peace, love and work it!
