L.A. Part 1, fun times at the studio

Hidden in a secret studio the work goes on.  2 rooms, one for Madonna and one for N*3*R*D!  The Bape crew is in town and Goodman who is here filming for NIGOLDENEYE broke the fish eye lens so we took it upon us to have a little fun!

PING PONG ANYONE?

We all know that finding spacious apartments in big cities is getting harder.  This might not be that interesting for all you guys in the suburbs or country side but if you like ping pong or table tennis and have a door that you don’t use that much here is a great idea:

Here is a bit more info as well.  If you like gadgets you probably are already up on Gizmodo’s site but if you haven’t been there it’s worth checking out once in a while!
