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...

MURAKAMI.

Brooklyn was blessed with the presence of Takashi Murakami last week as he opened his first major museum retrospective in New York. I never got a chance to see the LA one (which I heard was better than NY's). But I'm glad us New Yorker's got a chance to check out his genius.
先週ブルックリンで、ニューヨークでははじめての村上隆氏の回顧展がオープンしました。ロスのは見に行く機会がありませんでした(ニューヨークよりいいと聞きましたが)。でも、僕たちニューヨーカーにも彼の天才ぶりを見ることが出来て良かったです。

This was calling my name...これは僕の名前を呼んでいました。

Then I came to find out the next remaining one available was #31 of 100. 31 was my hockey jersey number at NYU. It was also my beeper code (remember those??). I couldn't resist.
次に売られていたのが限定100枚中の#31だったことを知りました。31は僕がNYUに通っていたときのホッケーの背番号でした。ポケベルのコードでもありました(ポケベル覚えてる??)。たまらず購入しちゃいました。

The following day, I had dinner with my colleague and friend from LVMH, Asako. She brought along her very multi-talented friend Seia. Dinner was at the amazing Bouley Restaurant in Tribeca.
次の日にLVMHの友達のAsakoさんと食事をしました。彼女の多才な友人のSeiaさんも一緒に。トライベッカにあるBouley Restaurantの夕食は最高でした。
