Poler

HatTravel

Camping should be fun and about having an adventure in your own awesome way. That’s the attitude behind this new brand that does an incredible job documenting their adventures while having a good time. They make well designed gear for everyone, not just bearded mountain climbers (male or female). So check out this rad Portland based company Poler and pick up some camp vibes!


Better Together

giftiki-PS3-01

Imagine if all of your close friends on facebook pitched a couple bucks for you on your birthday or some other special event, and all those small contributions combined into one large gift. One new startup aims to help you do just that. Public School’s own, Shaun, moved to San Francisco a few months back to work on a start-up called giftiki, and they recently released their first version. We think he did an amazing job on the design, and the concept is killer too. There is also a mobile app coming out soon.  Clearly, Shaun hasn’t done much sleeping lately. Check out more on giftiki after the jump.


Handshakes Grand Opening

handshakes

What are you doing this weekend? Well, whatever it is, I bet it’s not going to be as awesome as the grand opening of Austin’s own milkshake trailer, Handshakes. On Saturday, Handshakes will be making milkshakes and pumpin’ out the 90′s jams at Cheer Up Charlie’s. They will be releasing two new shakes, the yamshake and the pumpkin pie shake, but will still serve the classics along with their staple shake, the Panshake (Pancake + Milkshake, you can’t go wrong). It starts at 7pm, see ya there!


The Fantastique!

The Fantastique! is the portfolio site of the rad Portland gal Ms.Anne Coté. She is a talented designer that previously worked at W+K, Nike, and is now member of the gang of ten at ADX (where I currently studio). Her diverse range of work is really impressive annnnnnd she even worked on the Nike Mag!


Brooklyn Dry Goods

BDG.STAG

Hosted by our friends over at Stag, nomadic purveyors of vintage wares, Brooklyn Dry Goods, will set up shop this weekend in Austin. The Stag fellas have quite the hand at curating vintage Americana merchandise themselves, so if they were willing to hand over their store’s reins to another retailer, I would bet that it is worth stopping by for a look. The opening event kicks off tonight from 7-10 and stays in store through the weekend.
