I think everyone had a "Darrin Hudson" in their lives. Darrin Hudson was in my high school, back in Marlboro, NJ. You know, that person that you had to one-up all the time. Didn't matter what it was: Gear, hair, grades, sports, whatever...it was ON. Well for Darrin and I...it was kicks. Plain and simple. Oddly enough, in a school with over 1000 kids, me and him were the only 2 really into sneakers back then. This is my blog dedicated to Darrin. This is to tell Darrin that I'm still out there, and if he wants to battle, here it is son!! Bring it!! I've since lost touch with Darrin, but thanks to him, you all get to check out the kicks I have amassed over the years. So it is here, that I will archive every pair of shoes I own. It’ll include detailed photos, a grading system, a little tidbit behind each one and every single one will be available for purchase. (Simply POST A COMMENT with your offer). Some other little goodies sprinkled throughout also. Even if I updated a different shoe every week, it would take me about 3 years to complete this project. So sit back and enjoy! The project begins January 1st, 2006...

BRUNCH.

Weekend brunch in NYC is a holy activity. We seem to be on a constant search for a private, close by, tasty spot...and then when the riffraff appear, the hunt continues again. Bubby's, Friend of a Farmer, Prune, Noho Star, Five Points, Freeman's, Twelve Chairs and many more have gone down in flames as brunch spots that now feature a 30 min+ wait. So now, when people ask me for my favorite spot, I have to say "No offense, but I would rather not say."
Here's my new spot. Please don't come.
週末のブランチはニューヨークでは聖なる儀式です。僕たちは常により近くて、プライベートで、おいしい穴場を探し。。。人ごみが増えるとまた探検がはじまります。Bubby's、Friend of a Farmer、Prune、Noho Star、Five Points、Freeman's、Twelve Chairsなどなどたくさんのお店がブランチスポットとして定番になり、30分待ちが当たり前になりました。だから、人に僕のお気に入りの場所を聞かれたときには「悪いけど、あまり言いたくない。」と言います。
ここが僕の新しい穴場。来ないで下さい。

Thanks to The Ebeling Group and MK12 for inviting me to a private viewing of their recent Sundance releases at Soho House. They have one of the best theaters in the city.

Jeff,
I must say I have viewed your blog for at least four years strong. I have watched you go from a humble amazing guy who had fresh and dope content and nice things to say, to a snobby, pretentious, elitist. I am taking this site out of my bookmarks.

sorta like the the way the sneaker scene is saturated with riffraff. sneaker releases that now feature a 30 day+ wait...camping out in front of boutiques...buying up all the size 10, 11 & 12ves to resell on secondary market...the shops that have secret waiting lists and private stashes...

20 years ago a self respecting nyc dandy could get a nice and unique pair of kicks but the culture of desire has been stoked to the point where kids that don't even appreciate the history or shoe, snatch kicks up just cause they are consuming the luxe of "exclusivity". don't you think that you help to support this phenom that keeps your brunch spots - ran through?
