abakus party: Year of the Rabbit (1/26/11)

[Image]So, even though the shop was closed today Phil and I ended up going to the shop to do some work. Good thing too, the Year of the UNLUCKY Rabbit crew neck, and T. shirts finally came in. This is probably one of my new favorite pieces. It has nothing to do with Jessica or Roger Rabbit. Here’s a hint though, he was before“Mickey”. If the snow isn’t too bad tomorrow I might be able to snap some shots for you.
Like always, these pieces are limited drop.
Release Date: February 5th, 2011
Time: 6:00PM
Here’s some information on the year of the rabbit:
Year of the Rabbit:
1915, 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011
People born in the Year of the Rabbit are articulate, talented, and ambitious. They are virtuous, reserved, and have excellent taste. Rabbit people are admired, trusted, and are often financially lucky. They are fond of gossip but are tactful and generally kind. Rabbit people seldom lose their temper. They are clever at business and being conscientious, never back out of a contract. They would make good gamblers for they have the uncanny gift of choosing the right thing. However, they seldom gamble, as they are conservative and wise. They are most compatible with those born in the years of the Sheep, Pig, and Dog.

Sideshow: Real street cred for Gamble and Huff

Wednesday at noon, Philadelphia immortalized a big part of its entertainment history. The 300 block of South Broad Street was renamed Gamble & Huff Walk, in honor of prolific hit-monsters and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame mainstays Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, phounders of the Philly Sound. That block contains the Philadelphia International Records building, where G&H penned 3,000 tunes and produced hundreds of hits and lots of Number Ones and Grammy winners, including "Back Stabbers," the ubiquitous "Love Train," "If You Don't Know Me by Now," "Don't Leave Me This Way," "Only the Strong Survive," and "TSOP" (the Soul Train theme). They've recorded with just about everyone. A fire set by an arsonist closed the offices early this year, but soon it'll be party time: Next year is the 40th anniversary of Philadelphia International, and 2012 is the 50th anniversary of this storied partnership.
