Back In New York The Same Sh*t Is Going On
If you want to know why there haven’t been too many updates on A Story To Tell of late it’s because I’ve been cooped up in my office in London sorting a million and one things out before the Twelve Bar family head to LA for good next month. There also wasn’t that much going on save for Acyde from Nike’s Birthday party on Sunday night which you can check out at http://www.fatsarazzi.co.uk/ (if you haven’t done so already) so I figured I’d lay low and focus more on work and less on play.
Back in New York though it’s always a different story and, within about half an hour of landing, my boy Ray from Mighty Healthy had picked me up and we were heading down to the Lower East Side for the opening of the new Frank 151 barbershop. A few weeks ago Mike from Frank 151 showed me around the site which was under construction at the time and damn have these guys done a good job with this spot. The fit out is ridiculous and combining a chop shop with a fitted hat counter is a stroke of genius.
Surprise surprise all the heads were out in force and the first cat I bumped into was Mikkel, the owner of Norse Projects in Copenhagen, who I haven’t seen since Bread & Butter in Berlin this summer.
Having recently collaborated on the latest Frank 151 magazine to document the Seattle scene the Goods crew were in the house too representing for the best … sorry I mean West … Coast.
Whilst Dennis from Mighty Healthy was getting up close and personal with Jules – Look out for the new Bijules Absinthe project coming soon – and I was getting distracted by Ivy from The Fader and her friends, Ray took a little time out to get comfortable in the barber’s chair.
Meanwhile Sean from Rockers was up in the place snapping away for his blog and my old friend Chris, formerly of the Boom Box, and now running No Mas was also representing.
Before heading out into the night I had a quick chat with the stars of the show, Mike and Steve Malbon from Frank 151, seen here with the one and only Rickey Powell and Ray from Mighty Healthy and they very quickly introduced me to New York’s first female barber who who I think will be cutting my hair in about 20 minutes from now not that I really need a haircut.
Damn I gotta run – I’m late for my barber.
