Let's hope rain is all we get this season, because hurricane season has officially started. So while we stock up on canned good and batteries, here is what you missed over the weekend:

Sneaker Pimps at the Moore Building

We've got to admit, we don't understand how grown men have basically turned the sneaker into a shoe obsession. It's sort of like when you were a kid and you played with action figures that were basically dolls, but God forbid if anyone called it a doll. Jimmy Choo or Nike, they are still shoes -- we wonder if they realize that. Click here to view the full slideshow from Saturday's Sneaker Pimps event.

Surf Nazis on Ecstasy at Goo
