PHOTO ▲: Best Thing From Agenda, NYC
Agenda (trade show), NYC, was such a let down, and I'm not sure if it was the location, the time of year, or maybe the fact that their last show (Chelsea Art Museum) was GREAT! ...never-the-less, I'm happy for the Brands who keep pushin' in these economic times.
Moving Forward, the best thing from Agenda, NYC I got was this Box of Water that reads "Boxed Water Is Better." ...cool if you ask me. 76% of the box is composed of renewable resource, trees used to make the boxes are in well managed forests, flat boxes when shipped so water is flat to the filler, flatten easy & recyclable, 10% of profit is donated to World Water Relief Fund, and another 10% donated to Tree Restoration Foundations.
*For More Info Visit BOXED WATER IS BETTER.
KICKS ▲: Nike SB Dunk 'Ironstone' Low

STREETWEAR ▲: Dope Couture 'Midnight' Snapback
Dope Couture is by far one of my favorite Brands on the market in our culture. I seen the 'Midnight' 7-panel Snapback about 6 months ago during a Sneaker Bistro Boutique order. I remember ordering one, but never received it, and it slipped my mind since, but I'm 'bout to get one NOW!
It's inspired by Maison Margiela's interpretation of Michael Jackson's 'Triller' jacket.

ATTENTION ▲: "Anonymous" Shuts Down Federal Websites, Universal Music + More
Hip-Hop Rapper/Producer Swizz Beatz is being sued by Universal Music Group because Megaupload.com, that he apparently is CEO to, which stores music, has cost "copyright holders more than $500 million in lost revenue from pirated films and other content.".
The Feds shut Megaupload down, but shortly after websites like Federal Gov, Universal Music Group, BMI, RIAA, Dept of Justice, have been shutdown by The "Anonymous" Group, and the list is continuing...
"1%, YOU HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE SITUATION."
*Update #1: The FBI's website has now been shut down, Megaupload is back, and Warner Music Group is also down. This just got real, and to think, all this over ideas, expression, and succession.
*Update #2: Turns out Swizz Beatz is NOT the CEO of Megaupload...interesting.

My friend Soulful Jenn submitted a few Quotes relating to love I've wrote in the past (and they made the book!), to Jerome Dickens & JoVonna Rodriguez for their new E-Book, "#LoveTaps". Thank you to them, as well as Jenn. Greatness.
"Love Taps explores the possibility of what communication, honesty, and love looks like on paper. These are moments when one opens up to their partner, allowing time to build a foundation, and navigating life together. #LoveTaps from the public, are pushes forward when life seems to keep pulling you backwards on the journey of love."
Purchase HERE, as I'm told proceeds go to a Non-Profit Organization.
