The Latest | Greatest Merger

Here's the deal:

I'm merging the latest.greatest to one blog, which will be www.crookedstraight.com.

I'm pretty sure this is a win-win idea. The links to all the personal blogs will still exist, but the poker news, sports stuff, music stuff, tail reports and kicks and shit will all go into one blog which should have 5-15 posts per day, including the daily dunk and daily video.

If you have this blog bookmarked, please change your bookmark to www.crookedstraight.com.

Peace
Kev

From there on in, their retail location and gallery allowed for some interesting team ups along the way.
