Winn Perry: The Movie

Jacob Hinmon — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 14:46:20 +0000

Any of you who follow the blog surely know of my love of the Winn Perry shop in Portland. From the first time I stepped foot in there, it just felt right. In fact, I wrote a post on it at the time.

Since then, I’ve dropped in there as often as I could. Got myself a couple shirts and saved all my pennies for those suede chukkas I was drooling over in the first post. Over the past year I’ve gotten to know Jordan a little bit, and it just reinforces the enthusiasm I had for the shop at the beginning.

So when the chance to do this short video for the shop’s website came up, I was excited. I hope my admiration for what Jordan is doing comes through. I think he’s a top-notch guy with a great aesthetic and strong vision. It’s not every day that a job also doubles as a passion project. But it is a great day when it does. Enjoy:

Vin Scully Friday

With the trade deadline minutes away, all Dodger fans are on pins and needles. In order to switch the nervousness to goose bumps here are a couple of great calls from Hall of Famer Vin Scully. We found out that Vin will most likely be calling the Dodger games for one more year before retirement. Now is as good a time as any to count our blessings and revel in the memories.

Here is an NPR report on Vin Scully calling Sandy Koufax 1962 no hitter:

Unfortunately, the only video I can find is this replication of the 4+1 game from Sept. 18, 2006 (did I ever tell you about that game I went to?). The audio is the real call from Vinny.

And the greatest of them all. Kirk Gibson’s 1988 World Series heroics. Check out what has become a signature Scully move: listen to how long he stays silent and lets the crowd roar before finally stating that now famous line, “In a season that has been so improbable, the impossible has happened.”

Sorry, if there is trouble viewing this last one. View the original here.

Ingenuity Observed: Levi’s and the New Frontier

Sometimes an advertising campaign nails the sensibility of NOW so well you wish it weren’t pitching a product but were simply the anthem of the times. The rally call for those ready for action. The fire lit under those wandering. The spark that brings the unfocused eye clarity and direction. The direction to the future.

The new Levi’s campaign by Wieden + Kennedy (of course) “GO FORTH” is that campaign.

Make sure you check out the Levi’s website. Click on “The New Americans: A Portrait of a Country” to interact, contribute, and act.

If you like seeing behind the scenes, check out W+K’s blog for some more details on the campaign.
