Not a lot of text in this auction, but you may have heard about these sneakers. Only 150 were produced and were given to bands that appeared on the Rev 150 comp OR were given to old school Rev recording artists. You probably won’t see another pair of these pop up on ebay again, unless those dudes in The Twilight Transmission (who?) need a quick buck. PS. the shoe is 100% vegan too. How about that?
Also, Porcell can tell a funny, fucking story. He’s a whiz like that. For instance, take the story in his Judge Test Press lp auction.
Once when YOT were playing a show with Uniform Choice, I think it was Detroit, there was a fight in the pit during UC between two skinheads. Mike actually walked over to try to break it up when the girlfriend of one of the guys fighting told him to mind his own business, pushed him and then slapped him FULL FORCE right across the face. Mike’s hands instantly flew up to punch her but then he stopped himself because, well, she was a girl. But he was in a rage. He just stood there, with a big red slap mark across his knotted face, breathing like a snake, just wanting so bad to haul off on that skinbird but somehow he was restraining himself. But there he was in the middle of the pit, teeth clenched, fists in the air, looking like a time bomb that would go off if somebody breathed heavy. The two guys instantly got scared and stopped fighting, and the one dude made a quick exit with his squawking foul-mouthed girlfriend in tow. I remember thinking “Damn, Mike’s actually a pretty intimidating guy.” Little did I know.
Wow, just wow.
