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...

BACK TO REALITY.

So now that the Pigeon madness has subsided (for now), we can return to the regular scheduled programming of "Jeffstaple: This Is Your Life!"
I didn't even get a chance to finish blogging about my last trip to Japan. Which was short but very eventful. Some highlights:
ピジョン騒ぎが落ち着き(今のところ)、通常放送の「Jeffstaple:これがあなたの人生!」をお送りいたします。
日本での滞在についてまだブログをし終わっていませんでした。短かったけど、とても内容の濃い滞在でした。ハイライトは:

First off, if it wasn't for Taku at Polyphony (makers of the Sony game, Gran Turismo) acting as host, it wouldn't have been nearly as interesting. First night we landed, we grabbed dinner with Asako formerly of Celux/LVMH, now official Lady of Leisure. After dinner we went to a rockin' party at the top of Roppongi Hills, then bailed and went to Tsutaya to read magazines till 2am because we're old and boring.
最初に、Polyphony(Sonyのゲーム、グランツーリズモのメーカー)のTakuさんが案内してくれなければ、この旅はそこまで面白くは無かったと思います。僕が着いた最初の夜、元Celux/LVMH、現レジャーレディーのAsakoさんと食事をしました。夕食後、六本木ヒルズの最上階のパーティーにいきましたが、そのあと、僕たちつまらない年寄りは、朝の2時までTsutayaで雑誌を読んでいました。

If you're a hardcore sneakerhead, you might have heard of a magazine called ShoesMaster. They wanted to do a story on the NBs that we just dropped and about my other views on the culture. It ended up being a 2hr chit chat rather than an interview...which is always better.
ハードコアなスニーカーヘッドでしたら、ShoesMasterという雑誌のことを聞いたことがあるかもしれません。先日リリースされたNBsとこのカルチャーについて僕の考えを取材してくれました。インタビューというより2時間の雑談でした。。。そっちのほうがいいですね。

Discovered this really hidden obscure Japanese restaurant. Check out this door. It reminds me of "Being John Malkovich". The food was divine. I don't think I can find my way back there though...it was really hidden.
すっごくいい隠れ家的な日本料理屋を発見しました。この入り口を見てください。「Being John Malkovich」を思い出します。料理はすばらしかった。でも、またお店にいけないと思います。。。本当に隠れ家だったので。

Japan has the HatoBus...translated...it's the Pigeon Bus. I'm jealous.
日本にはハトバスがあります。。。訳すとピジョンバス。 うらやましい。
