Thanksgiving Day Parade (and Sean Lennon)

Despite the 5AM wake up - after going to sleep at 3AM - we decided to check out the parade this year. Hearing that 2 million people head out to watch the parade (even in the snow) wasn’t exactly a selling point, but I am very happy that I made the journey from Brooklyn to [...]

San Francisco

 
Spent a couple of days working in SF this week.  Beautiful weather, great food, fantastic people and lots of good solid, collaborative work. My travels are typically far from glamorous, but at least the walks to work were far better than the NYC version. Also attended a social media meeting of the minds which was [...]

David and Allen

The wonderful David and Allen graced us with their presence last weekend. Always a good time and sad to see them leave. Til next time.

Visit to Tom Ford

After being immersed in the streetwear world for a while, and visiting dozens of tired old formulac streetwear retailers selling the same tired old formulaic products, I have to admit that I was blown away with what I saw at Tom Ford.   I guess I am finally at a age and place in life where [...]

Get Vertical!

My brother recently took a helicopter from island to island in Fiji, which reminded me of my recent experience cruising in a helicopter. Despite the fact that I do not even own a car at the moment, I have always been fascinated with transportation, including helicopters. If you have never had the chance, I encourage [...]

Flannel - The New Hoodie

 
With blogs, MAGIC, digital lookbooks, and all of the other avenues to see upcoming releases, I guess it is no surprise that most streetwear looks the same. Yeah, yeah… the difference is in the details and the slightly different interpretations, but be honest… it looks as if all this stuff comes from the same damn [...]

Lupe Fiasco - Superstar

 From the second the keyboard taps come in, and Matthew Santos starts singing, this song just keeps getting better.   It is definitely a major standout in the current hip hop crop, and that becomes evident almost immediately.   I have mucho respect for Lupe, and he is certainly doing a fantastic job of managing his brand - [...]

3/4 Family Photo

I am in a crazy habit of totally jacking up the contrast and color balance of all of our new photos. Someday our kids are going to think we lived under red-orange skies, even back in 2007.

NYC Marathon

Woke up to the NYC Marathon this morning. Add this to the things about New York that just blow me away. The runners, the spectators, seeing the families of the runners connect w/ their loved ones from the sidelines - All very, very cool and inspiring.
