6 DEGREES.

How does 6 degrees of separation work? Well, when you interact with very interesting people, you get mixed up into this hurricane of talent that you cannot escape. These 4 people, whom I met on separate occasions in the last 72 hours; may or may not know each other. But now they are intertwined forever. If and when they ever meet, they can say, "Wow, we are cosmically connected. Via Darrin Hudson!"

Gabe Urist (top-left): You may know Gabe as the world famous "sneaker jeweler". He's also a pretty good baller.
Tyler Askew (top-right): President and CEO of rude-nyc. Ill designer and iller disc jockey. Guess that makes him a jockey of both hard discs and compact discs.
Atsuko Tanaka (bottom-left): Atsuko is a dope photographer. Incidentally, she shot the first ever press photo of me for a Japanese magazine WAY back in 1997! We have kept in touch ever since and she's probably one of the oldest friends I have in NYC.
Jeremy Hollister: (bottom-right): Hollister owns Plus Et Plus, a motion, broadcast and graphics firm. Always onto the next level, Jeremy is. He's usually doing some incredible stuff.

So there you go guys. You can thank me for the introductions later.
