Raleigh Denim

HOMETOWN LOVE! I was in Raleigh a couple weeks ago and stopped by Raleigh Denim. They have a cool storefront on W Morgan, around the corner from the Contemporary Art Museum. Yes, "cool store front" around the corner from whaaaa? What city is this? Downtown Raleigh has developed in the 15 yrs I've been in NYC.
The store is on the street with the manufacturing and offices through a nonthreatening curtain. The employee's are really warm and encourage you to take a walk in to check their operation. It was great to see such a cool space being put to such use. Tori has a long history in the denim business and says RD are sold in Barneys and taste maker boutiques. I was pleased to be impressed by a local business.
Buy some Raleigh Denim!

REST iN POWER: Riverdale Studios, BX

This AM, the homeboy EMZ let me know that he was letting go of Riverdale Studios after 14 years of hosting the most... That's my boy, and we have had MANY classic sessions and general hangs up there in that rock-cave-tree-house that was Riverdale Studios (THEY GOT HiLLS iN RiVERDALE!).
Thinking back, I imported my favorite Ornette Coleman albums from the VAST compact disc collection, regularly marveled at the more than impressive collection of footwear, discussed many a MC over a cold beverage, created ALBUMS worth of songs & even got pulled over out front w/ ALL KiNDS OF BAD NEWS in the car only to be miraculously let free without incident (WORD TO V.O.R. - Dok weren't you in the car too?).
PEACE TO EMZ AND RiVERDALE STUDiOS AND THANK YOU FOR BEiNG A PLACE i COULD BE CHiLL& BE CREATiVE.
WORD AAPP!

ALSO, YOU CAN BENEFiT FROM EMZ's YEARS OF DiGGiNG TOMORROW iF YOU ARE A SiZE 11-12!

Beret

My Mom has always been very gifted with color. She began felting a few years ago and recently shared a photo of a beret she was working on... Ummmm, Mom, you're like some weird genius and now I'm going to be nervous around you and feel inadequate...
Here's to inspiration... Hats, er - berets off to you - Felt ON, Felton!

Beautiful. (Click image for more detail)

SEE

In a time when unique eyeglass frames are more popular than ever, we all need fresh spots that make quality eye ware... Luckily, NYC is filled with them... An hour ago, I impulsively, spent the money I had previously set aside for a flat screen TV, on new frames from SEE in the West Vill... They have stores all over the country and also are online...
