Sorry for the lack of updates. I just came back from a 10-day trip to Europe with the Vans crew and the photo above pretty much defines my last few weeks. It’s been a marathon. The photo was taken from the back of a cab in New York—our last stop of the trip.
You learn a lot about yourself when you travel and I always find that it’s always inspiring to visit places that I’ve never been to before. I met so many cool people along the way and I’m glad that I able to take some time to catch up with some old friends that have recently moved to Brooklyn. More updates coming soon. I hope the six of you who actually visit this blog aren’t too bummed. For now, enjoy this. And maybe this?

Kim Hastreiter says it’s better now
July 19, 2011
Last week, Kim Hastreiter came by to speak to WK12 during her West Cost tour between Los Angeles and Vancouver. After being introduced to the world of publishing by her good friend Bill Cunningham, she eventually went on to start Paper Magazine as a loudspeaker for everything DIY within the New York scene. Now, 27 years later, the focus of Paper Magazine now covers the underground antics of the downtowns across the world. During her stay, I found her take on cynicism against the now-culture quite interesting.
“It’s never more interesting than it is now. It’s just as interesting now. It might be in a different location or in a different form. I hate when people say it used to be better. It’s never better. It’s always better now. You just have to look. You can’t duplicate [the past].” —Kim Hastreiter

My friend Summer had this plant sitting next to the window of her warehouse space.
TEDxPortland is this Saturday
April 28, 2011
TEDxPortland’s “Crossroads” will be streaming live on their site, Saturday, April 30th between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm. Watch it. Definitely looking forward to hear John Jay, Tinker Hatfield and our (wk12) very own Jim Riswold share their stories.
“Our theme this year is “crossroads.” A crossroads is a place where two things impact one another in a way that creates change. It’s where technology impacts behavior, where beliefs create ideas or where different branches of social science come together to create a whole new philosophy or field. The possibilities are endless, and the end results more powerful than we can imagine.”
