Research & Development

One of the things that I get to do often is travel to do research on the ever-growing sneaker "lifestyle & culture".

One of the cities that I visit often is New York City, which is home to thousands of sneaker stores and boutiques.

For example, this store is called Flight Club, and it's a consignment store. The split is 80/20, and folks from all over the world trek to NYC just to see this store up close and personal.

There's another store in LA and in Tokyo, and, of course, they have an online store.
Stay tuned because word around Worcester is that we may see a similar type of store in Worcester in the fall.

9/11 Trial Moved from New York City

The Mayor of New York City, Mike Bloomberg, and others told the White House, "y'all are going to have to find somewhere else to hold the 9/11 trial."

I wonder if any state will be bidding for THIS trial to be held in their state?

The title says it all!

Movie: Any Given Tuesday in Brooklyn

I love when people are inspired to GO HARD and do something that others said couldn't be done!

Take a look at this short film about The Vote 2008 and it's impact on Brooklyn, NY and, ultimately, the world.

To tell you a little bit about the film:

This documentary features interviews with voters outside the polls, Brooklyn residents in the street, as well as different representatives from the Brooklyn for Barack HQ in Bedford Stuyvesant and the Barack Phone Bank in Fort Greene. Exclusive images from the amazing Election block party that took place at New York's only South African restaurant Madiba will transport you on the scene and make you live (or relive) the explosive joy that took the streets by storm as the results were announced.

This short documentary is produced by Caid Productions and co-directed by Thierry Daher and Pierrot Colonna and distributed for free to the community, friends, family and business associates. It is our gift to the community and it will not be sold! It is for that reason that we decided to put it online for all to see and enjoy. We believe it is a small piece of American History and we're proud to have documented it on film.

No matter what....I Still Love NY

Seemingly still on his tour of the US, we hadn’t heard much from the British street artist since his endeavors in New Orleans. Recently, Banksy commissioned professional painters Colossal to put up his I Love NY rat piece in Manhattan’s Soho neighborhood. The three story high work features a very ironic message, which we have come to expect throughout the years.
