So here’s the deal, I wanted to blog about the release of The Hundreds x Bun B t-shirt last week, but I was too pissed off I missed the event to write about it. You see, living here in Texas The Blot never gets to attend any of these big release parties that are always occurring on the east or west coasts. Yes, occasionally Chi-town gets some big events but here in Texas, and more specifically Houston, it’s unheard of!
It was quite the shocker then when California streetwear designers The Hundreds announced they were producing a limited edition t-shirt collaboration with hip-hop superstar (and one half of the famed Texas rap group UGK) Bun B and that the shirt would be sold exclusively at Houston’s own Premium Goods the morning of Saturday, December 27, 2008.
So here was a killer event finally taking place in Houston at a store probably 5 minutes from my home and can you take a guess where I was? Yup, still back in Alabama visiting the fam. Oh well…from the pictures I’ve seen from the event it looked like a huge success! There were a ton of people lined up outside Premium Goods in anticipation of the event, Bun B was there to take pictures and sign autographs, and the limited edition The Hundreds x Bun B t-shirt (which had a run of only 150 shirts) sold out in under 2 hours. Hopefully the great turn out for this release will mean future exclusive release parties down the road for those of us in the Lone Star state.
