Circle Prinz

Welcome to eastvan brand will be representing with some gear at this competition.

Famous Circle presents Circle Prinz Canada, the international prelims for the world acclaimed Circle Kingz B-Boy competition, coming to Vancouver for the first time since 2005. On July 31, 2010, Circle Prinz Canada will draw b-boys and b-girls from across North America to battle for an opportunity to win roundtrip airfare to Lausanne, Switzerland and compete for the crown at the Circle Kingz World Finals.

Driving the force and hosting Circle Prinz are organizers and b-boys of Famous Circle, Rory “Roketto” Kirkham and Robin “Fingaz” Campbell. Both attended Circle Prinz Tokyo in October 2009 and were blown away by the vibe at the event. It was so true to the traditions of b-boying that they knew they had to bring the event to Canada.
“Circle Prinz is one of the rawest jams out there. It’s a 2 on 2 and each crew has to throw down in the ciphers to prove themselves worthy of entering the battles. Secret judges choose the top 16 crews and the battles only get hotter from there,” said Campbell.

Youth from across the continent are unifying to battle at the only North American prelim for Circle Kingz for the opportunity to fly around the world and do what they love-dance.
Circle Prinz Canada will be held at the Russian Hall at 600 Campbell Ave. Vancouver, BC. with B-boy qualifications at 1pm and the main event at 4pm with guests DJ Blesone of Massive Monkees, Vancouver’s own DJ Flipout of Contents Under Pressure and JayKin.
Tickets are $20 at the door or $15 in advance available online at famouscircle.com

water + vitamins

Hey, remember when Snapple was cool? Back when everybody drank it cause it was the drink to drink. There was peach ice tea, strawberry kiwi and a myriad of other flavours that I never even had the chance to taste (or prolly did but can’t remember). It’s still being sold in stores but it is by no means a competition to the new champion of beverages out right now: Vitamin Water.

Vitamin Water’s success is downright ridiculous. Coca-Cola bought out the maker, Glaceau, for $4.1 billion. 50 Cent had stock in it right before that and made millions. Celebrities, athletes and every regular schmo can testify their favorite flavour (mine’s Energy; cot damn thats good, ahh, now, lets try it wit a bit of goose).

But in light of the much needed product education that the public lacked (cuz we dumbz), a new slew of vitamin drinks have come to the forefront bearing advantages over Vitamin Water’s high sugar and calorie content.

Aquafina Plus Vitamins is a mighty contender. It contains 1/10th the calories of Vitamin Water because it uses the sugar substitute, stevia. They mostly taste decent. The best one being Passionfruit Citrus. It’s like Energy sans the caffeine. Downside? There are new reports that the sodium benzoate and calcium c in the drink are known to work together to produce harmful carcinogens. Shitty deal.

Then there’s Function: Alternative Energy. I bought this cause it was right next to the others in 7-11 so I thought I’d give it a try. I bought the Strawberry Guava flavour and, basically, it was gross. It had all the right stuff in it tho. All natural with yerba mate and other shit to give you 6-8 hours of stamina. But it was really gross. Like bitter Gatorade gross. So bad that I’d easily choose the last two instead.

So the reason for this post?

To re-enforce the importance of this rule:

Everything in moderation.
