This Thursday, we here at TOLA! and with our homie TEAMS are opening a New night at the Hyperion Tavern. While this is a temporary night on Thursdays for the month of October, if we get enough people to come and support. (Buy Beers!!!) We will be getting a permanent night, after this one month run is over. So we need you! Yes you. As Teams would say "Come listen to sick Dj's, drink beer and do some hood rat shit with your friends". Every week, will be a rotating line up of LA's best underground DJ's. We'll have guest stars from other cities, MC's, and Superstar Dj's coming through as well. It's gonna be an amazing night, and I'm fucking excited.

The Dropout: Issue 5


I got this by way of Vegas. A great lil Magazine. Well written, great articles and awesome insight into our corner of the world. It comes out of Austin, Tx. Check out back issues online here, and be sure to read their blog, while you're there. I think is great, I had dreams of starting a Magazine about a year ago, total zine style. Bring back the old school. After reading this, I just might...

Hammer Nutrition: Fizz & Solids


I have been keeping my eye on new ways to hydrate or for energy supplements for races and training rides. I'm glad I saw these. They are the best. I got some samples at Interbike to test out, and I did so today. On a 20 mile ride (tomorrow going a bit further and harder) tested the both out. The Fizz, you put two tablets in your water bottle, dissovle and drink as normal. Great taste, did it's job Re-hydrating me and packs a nice little kick. The Solids, you just take one every hour, you're exercising, and away you go. So much energy, nice clean feeling, but you don't feel cracked out or sick to your stomach after the crash. They're a little strange, you expect them to be this hard candy, but they dissovle as as you pop them in your mouth, they dissovle into a mush. I wouldn't recommend you popping this as your hammering away, it's more of a rest stop break thing. The mush kinda throws you off, much like any Gu type packets. Just not really what you want in your mouth, when you're going full steam ahead. I really dug both of these and I'm looking forward to running around with this shit in my system.

Here the link to the site and technical crap on both.

The 508...


Shitty image I know, but that's not what matters. What matters is we got homies racing this bitch. Solo, two person teams, and four person teams. 508 miles across Death Valley. So tough. I want to give props to Team Swarm for holding it down year after year. Someday, I would love to do this. Guess, I should be rolling wit you fools, and train. Matt Ruscigno will be doing it solo this year, again. Check out his Blog, No whip, for a really cool write up on the race.


Good luck to the Swarm homies!!!
