Vor circa einem Monat begann eine kleine Gruppe von ein paar Hundert Menschen auf dem New Yorker Liberty Plaza mit ihren Occupy Wall Street Protesten, die ihren bisherigen Höhepunkt letztes Wochenende fanden, als auf dem ganzen Globus Tausende von Menschen auf die Straßen gegangen sind – so natürlich auch und gerade bei uns in Frankfurt -, um ihrer Wut auf das aktuelle Finanzsystem und die dadurch entstehenden Ungerechtigkeiten Ausdruck zu verleihen. Korrigiert mich, wenn ich falsch liege, aber das ist wohl erstmalig, dass Proteste dieses große weltweite Ausmaß erreicht haben! Sogar unter Prominenten und Wirtschaftswissenschaftlern – darunter auch ein Nobelpreisträger – haben sich schon Sympathisanten gefunden, zu denen man auch den siebtreichsten Menschen der Erde zählen kann.
After having spent all day yesterday pimpin’ the hardware of my MacBook while hitting several obstructions, what better way to tell the world I’m back with a very funny video showing off a guy that also hits a lot of obstructions himself. But he is trying to get a message accross. Please watch for yourself & enjoy.
I was literally lying under my desk, while watching it for the first time! Gaaaaaaaailer Typ!!! Please give him his money back, NYC! Double!!!
Crada recently posted this pic on Facebook of him working with Tony Yayo in NYC. You never know, if something is being realeased out of these sessions, but it’s really crazy to see what international artists he has the chance to work with in the last months, after he landed dope beats on CuDi‘s and Drake‘s debut albums.
This proofs to me that talent, effort, good people in your team plus the tiny bit of luck can take you anywhere. Hopefully there is much more to be heard from this guy.

Allright, folks. It’s the time of year again and we don’t want to distract you too much right now. Rather go spend some time with your family, friends and loved ones, but it wouldn’t be a proper Christmas without some Christmas music, right…?? RUN FFM’s choice is obvious: it’s RUN DMC with their track ‘Christmas in Hollis‘. Enjoy… (after the commercial, that you have to endure to watch… sorry!)
And for “some” history on Hollis, Queens this adidas Originals video is for you.
To everyone out there Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays. To everyone, who doesn’t celebrate Christmas also lots of positive energy! Look back on the past year and start to get excited for 2011, people!
Love, peace & soul.

Just recently Caro, who we met back at the Market 41 Flutschfinger party for the first time, spent her holidays in New York City and judging by the pics she sent us, she spent most of the time attaching RUN FFM stickers all over NYC. :)
Since we really like that, I didn’t wanna keep those beatiful pictures away from y’all, so here we go. :)
She even got other people to join the street team. :D
So if you are in NYC, keep your eyes open. Some goes for Tokyo, London, Berlin, Frankfurt of course and I’m sure also some other places, I can’t even think of right now. As usual, pics are always welcome.
Caro also goes by the name of C-Arrow and as YOSOY‘s 1st lady she is spinning tonight at Walden along with DJ Craze and Klever, DJ Passion & Mango Jack a.ka. Jack Sehn a.k.a. Jacksta a.k.a. Blacksta a.k.a. Jackmode a.k.a. 1 half of The Goooniez.
So I promised you some party pictures I decided to post just a few of my favorites and the rest is on my flickr account so click right through.
I finished putting up the Q&A session with DJ Neil Armstrong also and uploaded it on Youtube the video is embedded in this post hope you like it!
Probably unusual from the interviews you see somewhere else haha.
You can view the video right here, I would recommend you to watch it at least at 720p. If you like to keep updated on what videos I upload next simply subscribe to my youtube channel.
The link is youtube.com/chrishimself84 hit that yellow subscribe button (you need a youtube account for that).
Oh this is a little bonus btw.
enjoy :)

DJ Neil Armstrong was in Frankfurt am Main for about 2 days, for sight seeing, food excursion and playing a gig at club “Travolta”.
I told him about the “curry wurst” and that they have one of the hottest types of curry wurst at “Best Worscht in Town”.
Neil was down for it so we went there, I told him that the highest “grade of hotness” I ever went for was C and it goes all the way down to F or F+ even.
C is already 30(!) times hotter than tabasco, everything beyond that is just crazy in my opinion even C is tough work.
DJ Neil Armstrong eating Curry Wurst (Grade C). =D Certified curry wurst eater in the building!
Doing some quick check ups on the internet before we shot the Q&A for my youtube vlogs, will cut that during this weekend so stay tuned.
Some more food at Frankfurt Sachsenhausen, Handkäs mit Musik and some Äpplewoi.
It was funny hanging out with Neil and his theory about what makes “a real New Yorker” was also quite interesting, changed my image of New York quite a bit.
My next post will contain some pictures of the party at Club Travolta and also bookmark my flickr account if you would like to download the pictures : http://www.flickr.com/chrishimself
This post is dedicated to some of our strongest supporters out there, everyone who bought one of our RUNFFM T-Shirts and those who actually send us a picture of them wearing it.
All of them are extremely awesome, look at what Rodney did who was here on vacation just a few weeks back.
Are you a Yankees fan? =) I guess RUNFFM.COM is cool with the Yankees now huh? haha
There are some more cool pictures at Rodneys flickr page and make sure to check out his newest online venture called JuntosWorldWide.com , its a travelsite/blog hybrid where people can share photos and videos about their recent travels around the globe. It’s a little different than the usual travel websites since you get the information right from the person travelling in a kind of refreshing and personal style, kinda like our blog where you find random information on our daily “adventures” in our local midst or on tour =).
He is also into vlogging and produces little videoclips like the one right here where he interviewed yours truly.
But Rodney is not the only one I really like this shot of Philipp too.
Mike after the epic Germany worldcup game against Argentina.
She is just referred as “Miss Undercover somewhere” lol. ;)
We like those alot! thank you for sending them our way.
If you want to send us your picture wearing a RUNFFM T-Shirt, send them via email to webmaster@runffm.com , we always do appreciate it =).
By this beautiful video, I was just reminded, that Chrishimself and me spent a wonderful evening with Steph and Tiff in Coney Island last year to this exact date during our NYC trip!!!
As I saw the trailer a few weeks ago, I already couldn’t wait for this little documentary NY-Z by director Danny Clinch, which is centered around Jay-Z‘s benefit concert at Madison Square Garden last year. It’s a little different from what I first expected, because it’s not all about the concert itself. That’s truly great, because it was nice to see something unexpected, combined with really dope visuals in this video.
From bricks to billboards. From Marcy to Madison Square. Enjoy.
As there is not much original concert content in it, I highly recommend to watch the complete concert from Sep, 11th, if you haven’t yet, so you can get an idea of the energy in the building as well as how Jay-Z connects with his audience. Especially how he does at the end – that’s what really standed out for me.
It seems like you can’t escape New York. And you may not escape Chinese brand Li-Ning in the near future, as they already signed NBA players Shaquille O’Neal, Baron Davis and Jose Calderon. But the honor of premiering the first Chinese brand on an NBA court belongs to Damon Jones, who was with the Cleveland Cavaliers at that time.
This is an awesome video of Baron Davis running through New York City along with his basketball. I remember that he tweeted all the time during this day and let people know where he’s gonna be. So, you may follow him (@Baron_Davis), but you can follow his beard (@boomsbeard) as well. Also some msic artists are featured in this video. Common shows some nice handles, while Jim Jones is BAAALLLLLLIIIIINNNNGGGGGGGG!!!!
Just saw this video by SneakGeekZ of the new and first Kixclusive Store in SoHo, New York. Looks really nice and contains some incredible kicks. Definitely a spot to put on my NYC to-visit-list: 288 Mulberry Street (E. Houston) NY, NY 10012.
P.S.: They even have some BAPE stuff listed in their online store.
In other sneaker related news, German mailorder and record store hhv drops the NIKE Rivalry Pack consisting of the NIKE x DJ AM Dunk High Premium and the NIKE x DJ Premier Air Force 1 Low Premium instore this Friday, Jan 15th, at noon: Revaler Straße 9, 10245 Berlin-Friedrichshain
At around 5pm you should check their online store for what’s still left, if you are interested.
Does anybody know of other releases of those sneakers in Germany???
(UPDATE – 17:20: Overkill Shop in Berlin will get the DJ AM Dunk “within the next days”.)
And since I began this post with SoHo, New York, I’m gonna end this post with SoHo New York. Here’s itsbongoboy‘s video from the pre sale of the pack at NIKE SB’s 21 Mercer Street store. Had to laugh out lout on two intances.
