::Award Tour: 2009 Stones Throw/ Stussy Spring Jump-Off::

In a few weeks, the incomparable Stones Throw Crew will launch a 2-month North American tour with surf n' skate stalwart Stussy as a co-sponsor. NYC is blessed with two dates. If your city didn't make the roll call...too f*ckin' bad. Send a petition with at least 500 signatures and prepaid tix, I'm sure they'll reconsider. The prices for all the dates listed are a reasonable, recession-proof $20 & under. All you Princeton, New Jersey bamas will be treated to a free all-ages show, so quit yer belly achin'. Read.
