About: Hello, gentlemen; this is Anthony, and this is my long-awaited bio post (according to the ever-pestering Eric, anyway). Personally, I think Gear Patrol is making me poorer. Not the best idea in today’s economy but, what the hell - hopefully, Citi will fall after I purchase a few barrels of JD. As one of the very first readers, I’ve enjoyed watching the site grow from one new post every few days to several articles daily - finding more and more gear I could add to my ever-growing collection. So, I find it a great honor that I was selected to join The GP Crew. Despite many failed attempts to get Eric to write my bio for me (so I could envelop myself in Call of Duty at his pad), he remained stalwart, and I was relegated to alternative measures: interviewing myself. So without further ado, I give you Anthony vs. Anthony - on the hot seat. [Continued after the jump] Tell us a little about yourself. My editors know me to be laid back, obsessed with finding deals on the finer things in life, and one who tends to over-research products. Why? To convince myself that I desperately need something, then not buy it. It’s a sordid affair. That’s pretty rough. Anything else? I’m also a fanatic when it comes to reading about random articles and an irate, foul-mouthed lunatic when it comes to playing video games (Ed: True). I’m perpetually on the move, calling New York, Chattanooga, and Memphis home. What’s one embarrassing moment you’d like to share with our readers and forever be published on the internet for the whole world to see? Gee, Anthony, when you put it that way… Oh wait… actually, looking back one of the funniest events (not for me at the time) had to be when I was learning how to ride a bike. Being the young and ever-confident 5 year old trying to keep up with an older bro, I decided to try and show off by riding my bike down the hill - sans training wheels. So what happened? I think this YouTube clip might be the closest dramatization of the actual events: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OszlUvXGsfw Why that moment? Because, well… you fall down and you keep going and that’s what guys do. The old adage applies here: if you can’t laugh at yourself, you shouldn’t be laughing at all. What’s your biggest vice? An outrageously good deal (think: slickdeals.net). Oh, and Glenlivet 15 Year Old French Oak Reserve. Is there anything embarrassing you can tell us about Eric Yang? Eric is supafly smooth (Ed: I’d debate “supafly”). I’m still waiting for him to trip up; we all are, actually. Such events are rarer than spotting Nessie. If we ever go on that golf trip next year, then maybe I (we) can catch one of those rare moments on camera.See Authors Posts (38) on Thursday, 21 May, 2009 – 9:37 | 2 Comments

About: Who am I? I am someone who believes that people's profiles for online dating sites are not who they are but who they think they are. So I'm trying to factor that into what I say about me. I am someone who keeps learning about who I am. I am curious, childlike and quick-witted. My three weaknesses are anything clothes, cars or culinary related. I grew up in Tennessee but now reside in the wonderous city of Los Angeles doing millions of different things. I'd rather be good at a lot of different things than the best at one - so DJ house parties, have a boutique catering company, perform stand-up comedy and travel whenever possible. What I love about GP is that it's about being the best man we can which means evolvoing, learning about ourselves and those around us. I am passionate about life - sharing it, making it, living it. I'm stoked about you joining us on this journey. Word up.See Authors Posts (33) on Monday, 27 Apr, 2009 – 12:05 | 3 Comments

Organic is everywhere. It’s the buzz word of late. There’s organic milk, organic shampoo, organic beer, and now there’s organic cotton, but it’s not actually new.
Some background: organic cotton has actually been around since 1990, …
