The Ed Hardy T-shirt. Nothing is a bigger symbol of douchebaggery in clubland than it. It’s a faux-tattoo armor for those too wimpy to get real ones. Bedazzled and they achieve a whole another level of douchiness. Oh, and if you’re wearing Affliction you have two strikes against you: you’re…

If you can’t wait for Saturday to have your trick-or-treat themed fun, head to the Catalina for their True Beach Blood Party. That’s right, take out the “Beach” and the “Party” and you have True Blood — the uber-popular vampire series that we must admit we’ve never seen. This fete…

Thanks to the round-the-clock coverage that the mainstream media gave Michael Jackson’s death and its aftermath, by now you’ve heard how he died and how he lived. All that was left was to see if the undisputed King of Pop still had what it took to live up to that…

When we recently caught up with NeckFace, the elusive graffiti goblin was busy conspiring with the crew helping him create his nightmarish opus at O.H.W.O.W., on the corner of NW 32nd Street and Seventh Ave. The 25-year-old West Coast street artist has been in town since August preparing for “Devil’s…
