Rest in Peace Arthur C. Clarke. This man’s body of work was a tremendous source of inspiration for all things FWA. May they erect a Black Monolith in his honor.

Don’t let the oversized fits and Hip-Hop swagger confound you. Roel Walbers and Pekkie from Real Deal in Mortsel, Antwerp just earned their honorary spot in the FWA constellation for being the first retailers (this part of the universe anyway) to put FWA tees on the racks. Thanks a lot for the support guys. Fifth World Appreciated.

Now go and visit Real Deal to stack up on some gear and scoop up some freebie FWA buttons (they are on the counter, unless some pirate’s grubby paws already emptied the bowl.)

Bubonic B, The Imperious Leader at FWA who was – until recently – handling way too much things by his lonesome, has been spotted in seedy taverns flanked by a sinister adviser. Well, not really. But a Fifth World Apparition of sorts did materialize to aid him on his Quest to get this brand out there. Yes, all-round nice guy Chris Van Akeleynen (of SCSMAG fame) has hopped on board of the FWA mothership to act as sales rep and just generally keep the fire lit under my ass. Not just a lackey driving around a busted up car trying to rub you of some gear, Chris truly is a Power Behind the Throne and his input on this project has already proven itself invaluable.

From now on if you want to buy/stock/sell some tees, direct you mind probes and telepathic inquiries to chris[at]fifthworld.be
