I think everyone had a "Darrin Hudson" in their lives. Darrin Hudson was in my high school, back in Marlboro, NJ. You know, that person that you had to one-up all the time. Didn't matter what it was: Gear, hair, grades, sports, whatever...it was ON. Well for Darrin and I...it was kicks. Plain and simple. Oddly enough, in a school with over 1000 kids, me and him were the only 2 really into sneakers back then. This is my blog dedicated to Darrin. This is to tell Darrin that I'm still out there, and if he wants to battle, here it is son!! Bring it!! I've since lost touch with Darrin, but thanks to him, you all get to check out the kicks I have amassed over the years. So it is here, that I will archive every pair of shoes I own. It’ll include detailed photos, a grading system, a little tidbit behind each one and every single one will be available for purchase. (Simply POST A COMMENT with your offer). Some other little goodies sprinkled throughout also. Even if I updated a different shoe every week, it would take me about 3 years to complete this project. So sit back and enjoy! The project begins January 1st, 2006...

UNDER 35.

The makers of Johnnie Walker, the world's number one Scotch whiskey brand, announced this week the recipients of the Johnnie Walker Blue Label 35 UNDER 35 AWARD. And I was on the list!
When I first heard the good news, my immediate question was "Do I have to actually drink Johnnie Walker to accept this?" Luckily for me, they said it's not necessary. (I haven't had a sip of alcohol in 14 years.)
The award was designed to celebrate the brightest young minds across a broad cross-section of disciplines including artists, writers, music executives, comedians and designers. The 35 will be featured in a distinguished coffee table book highlighting their accomplishments. there was a private celebration at Gramercy Park Hotel on Oct 4th (don't try the Chinese). I wasn't in town to accept the award so I sent my beloved staff out there on my behalf. Looks like I missed some good lobster.

Wow, seems like an awesome award. Always good to get awards especially if you aren't actually contesting for it.

Just goes to show how much other people recognise your work.
