This is for all you [city of others] fans who were there from day 1…

Day 1 was about a year ago and when we launched [city] we made a 3 part video series called “the guru”

Watch it….it’s funny, and Steve and i look wierd and 1 year younger in it!

*Stay tuned for Parts 2 & 3

We’ve been busy to say the least which explains the lack of blogalization lately….but don’t fear, i just got a Motorcycle and so did Steve so there will be bike gang photos up soon…..also stay tuned for a [city of others] pop-up store in a town near you….

if you live a semi-driveable distance from LA, please email opperman@city-of-others.com and let us know if you want to help host a COO Pop-Up store event.

So we’ve been patiently waiting for the day to reveal our newest campaign to all of you….and that day is today.

“in a FAST PACED WORLD” is the theme for our Spring/Summer 2009 campaign. We were inspired by the idea of [others] who are living, working, breathing in our fast world yet they are somehow existing at a different speed. We like people who take time to slow down in our superfastechnologicrazy world….people who make art, use pencils, typewriters, ride bikes, sit in parks, sip their drinks slow and watch the rest of the world go by.

Take a look through the campaign images, we think they’re amazing, and comment back to let us know what you think of the campaign, we’d love to hear your thoughts. Also check out the amazing work of our friend Peter Dawson who shot the whole campaign here

Steve and I met up with Jason and Laren, two of the three who started Invisible Children, for some breakfast and hang-out time.  By the simple act of telling a story that gripped them they have transformed the youth of America into a fund-raising, world-changing force.

They stopped by the [city of others] HQ out in LA and left rockin’ a pair of jeans each. Here we are, best buds in a classic jump shot:

Check out the screening schedule here because IC is probably going through your city and your school.

We just shipped our lovely jeans to our friends at RevolveClothing.com and they’re selling fast.

Check out the great fall photo they shot for us, and buy a pair before they’re gone!

Our good friend, speaker, and all-around brilliant human being Erwin McManus just wrote a new book called “Wide Awake” all about following your dreams and realizing that “it’s time to live, to create, to imagine, to dream…”

Erwin was a big part of our story (he actually fed us steak and let us sleep in his kids room one night because we were homeless when we first moved to LA) and he wanted to feature our story that led to the creation of [city of others]

Daniel Corrigan, friend, savant, COOvangelist, and general art-man strikes again in leading the COO revolution.

He got out the ‘ol finger paints to rock the [city] colours on the walls of CalArt in Valencia, CA

What do you do for COO?

We love what Invisible Children is doing to stop the war in Northern Uganda and in educating the youth of our country. IC just sent out 60 “Roadies” whose job is to drive around the country showing the newest film that documents the awful conflict in Uganda. [city of others] made a custom black jean just for the Roadies because we believe in what they are doing and the power of sparking a movement through our young and creative generation.

Here’s some of the Roadies the day they left with their new jeans

Watch this video to see what being a roadie is all about:

The Roadies have a blog that you can check out here to see what they’re up to.
