Last Friday we attended the first annual SMUT. jump off held at Urban Headquarters in Utica, NY. The event was held to premier SMUT. an online and seasonal publication (Zine) spotlighting Upstate New York and its subcultures. The event was a hit and we along with countless others were there to bring in the zine with a warm welcome. Amongst the vendors where a few brands you may know East Coast Grime, Holla Holla Skates, and MTS as well local artists around Central New York. The event hosted Live Music, Artists Raffles, Artist Gallery’s and Vendor booths. This was also the last chance to pick up the Rising Stars crew neck, Apache Chief colab in which we sold out.
