So after the interview with WeJetSet, I headed over to Williamsburg to see a familiar face – my dear friend Josh. Its been quite some time since I’ve seen him (well, I guess the last time was at his Lacoste event), but I used to hang out with him quite often for random shits and giggles – I rolled up to their office just as he rolled up on his Colnago – SWEET! He even laced it up with T19 bars (oh yea, he and all the Japanese heads go waaaay back) and check out his Fabrick bar pad – sweet!

Oh yea! Recon is closed at the moment because the pipes burst in the upstairs apt and the shop got rained on and flooded – seriously, I saw the video, not pretty. In the meantime, you guys can visit the warehouse on Roebling and North 6th in Willy-/b and take advantage of some good sales!!

Josh also hooked me up with a Fabrick wallet – Medicom… still wow’d by all their products.

Another person I haven’t seen in ages was Eric Hardin (WeSC)! He met up with Josh and I over at Oslo for some coffee – Eric is one of the sweetest, smartest, and dedicated individuals I have crossed paths with. He’s always smiling and always seems interested in what you have to say lol!

After some chit chat, we headed over to Armarcord to see his main squeeze Cass – YUP! You all remember Cass! We both moved on from our showroom lives to pursue other interests – I’ve missed her a bunch and I’m glad she and Hardin are at each other’s sides =)

After my Willy-B tour, I trekked it into the city (taking the dreaded L train, which, by the way, chooses to not run on all stops on the weekends – meaning yet another headache GAHHHH! That’s going to be another post lol). I met up with Courtney (YAY!) who is visiting for a few days for some well deserved vaca – as well as to celebrate her baby’s 1 year birthday - itsDesignRelated.com

Pics to come in following post (because this one is getting a little too long for my taste!).

WHAT a day it was for me on Saturday! (Although it may seem I enjoy a life of full of fun and excitement nearly everyday, come the weekend – SO NOT TRUE. I AM A HERMIT that is too afraid of the frigid cold)

Not too long ago Taj, from wejetset.com, and I got to talking about iDR, Fatlace and then conversed about all the travelling I had done a few years ago (I was suprised to learn he reads my blog and saw the post I did a few months ago about all the places I visited before moving to NY – unfortunatly I’d link you, but the photos from that post didn’t survive the new server relaunch). So anyway, he asked if I would be interested in being interviewed for their Travel Chronicles section on wejetset – uhmm, didn’t take long for me to respond at all!

Taj…

Thanks for sending this over Taj!

WeJetSet is moving along quickly with a bunch of new “editorials” and interviews in print and online, focusing on the personal travel experiences (both daily life as well as just for pure personal enrichment if you will) of designers, photographers, bloggers (like me!), etc… They are soon to release little print mag called “City Notes” – the first of which will feature Claudia aka Claw Money and her everyday travel enjoyments – from her favorite NY eats to her favorite NY kick it spots. Here’s a little preview =)

ANYWAY, sooo, my day started off with the interview at Rice in Dumbo, and can I just say, WHOA – these guys REALLY know what they’re doing! It was so professional and Taj made it super comfortable for me to expose not only my travel experiences, but also my thoughts and opinions about the street lifestyle. I’m really excited to see how everything turns out. OH! Also, Suzette was there capturing the moments with her camcam – hehehehe – she too made me feel even more at home HAHAHAHHAA!

TAJ – note to you (along with Anthony, Tony, Jesse, Britney, hope I didn’t miss anyone!), YOU are all truly inspirational and I will always support the cause and all of WeJetSet movements =)

**This was just the beginning of my day…

My main squeeze Kerin has finally jumped on the Fatlace Blogroll! You’ll find that she leads an EXTRAordinary life – the stories this woman has… WHOA. HAHAHA

Please welcome her to the Fatlace family =)

Check her out HERE www.fatlace.com

Yup, she’s the one that made me my feather toppers! =)

My other homegirl Catzie (yes, the same internet BFF that interviewed me for 215mag) is now a Fatlace blogger! yay!

Also, congrats to her and the baby!!! Not yet born, but can’t wait to meet him/her on 4/20 HAHAHAHA! classic.

Anyway, check her out HERE!

Did I mention that one of the first memories I have of this chick is from about 2 years ago at Delancey… she was wearing some fly ass kicks – trainers?? Shoot I can barely remember which ones she wore, but I DO remember being all jelly…

More info on her HERE (taken from MISSCREW)

Despite the busy busy day (carried over from last week and the week before and the week before…), I was ecstatic when I received a package from my friend Mayuko from Japan! She sent me a whole bunch of Hello Kitty goodies – yay!!!

Snacks, candies, a pen, chopsticks, bathroom supplies, and more!

That evening, before I got off, my dear friend Devin and her mom came to visit! They just came back from DC after watching the inaugaration – sweet! Anyway, you might remember Devin from some posts a while back when I showed you her ninja nomad travels via their blog, “Transient Nomadic Gypsy Ninjas.”

But for now- we ain..t comin back no time soon – COLOMBIA IS MAD SICK DUMMIE PURPLE BANANAS ILL-TARDED DOO DOO FRESHSGUSTING.

Devin left around the same time I left for NY, she didn’t return until about 1 year or so later!!! She and her boyfriend sold all of their belongings and took a one way route – destination: wherever the wind took them!

hmmmm… really? maybe.
