"Let's Lunch in San Diego" - Marge Lo

Woohoo!

My buddy Marge drove down from LA to meet up for lunch. Yes, she's that cool.
She (and her new baby) also helped fulfill one of my lifelong dreams: Driving in California.

thanks again, holmette.

Igloo + BLENDS + Subtext

My buddy Lenard Smith (a sick photographer) made sure to direct me to Igloo [ in Little Italy ]. Lenard was back in Brooklyn while i was basking in his home town. tee hee.

Arik was happily manning the store. Its a cool layout and they were holding down some cool pieces from zines, framed silkscreened prints, to graphic tees.

What else do you need?
I stuck around the shop for a minute talking design, silkscreened shopping bags, and Lawrence Fishburn's saliva. Arik even let me charge my phone til he locked up for the day. I asked him where to go for kicks and he offered me a lift to his buddies' over at BLENDS [ in the East Village ].

....are people here really all this nice? mmhm.YES. I finally got my hands on my very first pair of Vans. It took 24yrs but i finally got here.

Thanks to Edwin & Erwin for looking after my feet better than
podiatrists - word.
Here's the book i got at Subtext - a great shop with a clever neighbor...

big-ups to Gabriel.

til next time, folks.
