CNCPTS

July 29, 2009

Probably in the top 3 of my favorite stores of all time…Concepts had it right; great service, amazing brand list and phenomenal merchandising. From Redwings to Visvim and CDG to Clarks originals, the guys really know what they’re doing… Big ups to the big fellow who…strangely, looked like my man dave

Day 2 Bodega

July 28, 2009

Our second day in Boston was one of the most epic days of our (Angelo, Maura and I) lives. We woke up early to be able to hit up Bodega as our jaws dropped when we saw Materazzi at the entrance of the boutique (You may know him from such football games as world cup 2006 final), and although seeing him gave me a sour taste on the tongue (long live zizou), I couldn’t deny that this guy was a great player who’s done wonders for Intermilan. Now…Bodega, itself, is probably the most Creatively innovative store I’ve ever step foot into. The idea itself gives me shivers…I’m bummed they didn’t let me snap any shots of the infamous sliding Snapple door…I did, however, meet Leo and Randy who were of exceptional help.

Boston part 1

July 28, 2009

I haven’t had internet or a phone in the passed 4 days, hence the lack of updates on the feed. I was in Boston…a city that is now officially added to my “possible places to move to” list. From the architecture, the people, the jazz, the lobsters; everything was just right.

We went to the Premium outlets…my day summarizes itself with 3 pictures:

By far the dopest Fried Chicken I’ve ever eaten. (Yes I capitalize Fried Chicken, it’s just that important.)IMG_9497IMG_9478

By far the dopest street cat I’ve ever met. According to Lemont (below), we are sitting on Malcom X’s steps and we are in front of the ONLY remaining Jazz bar of the good ole days (Wally’s Cafe). The 62-year-old sliver of a South End bar feels much like a place Louis Armstrong might have played when he was merely another impressive young guy with a trumpet. In fact, Lemont was daring enough to list a few names who’ve passed by the historic joint, including Charlie Parker and Billy Holiday.

more what?

July 23, 2009

Got a few things today that I’m extremely stoked about, first is a pair of veggie mowats that I just HAD to shoot, and I must say they look great in pictures! (ONCE AGAIN, I snapped these product shots…so give cred where it’s due you thieves, I say this because I see my shit around the intrawebs with no source..shame on youz.)
