FIRST NIGHT IN AUSTIN!

Oooh it's hot here - 30 degrees today!
First night out in Austin on Monday, after meeting the SXSW team
We hit 6th street's "rock" bar, Jackalope.

A small handful of the SXSW crew...

Jill ... Jill ... Jill!


Austinite punks...


Time to go...

WILLIAMSBURGESQUE

Williamsburg is so hot right now....
Full of hipsters and Scandinavians, that's not me tooting the Skandi horn, it's just the Burg for ya.
Had a great time trying out their eateries (and bars), and looking through cool vintage shops. But the icing on the cake was provided by an excellent selection of up-and-coming galleries in East Williamsburg...


The BEST Bloody Mary and the BEST Lisa...


The secret art courtyard at the back of the gallery...




Street art...










Trash humor....


And the bar ... "The Metropolitaaaaan" for trashy indie gays and fannies.


Mark, Lisa and Magnus


And Gunnvør who is representing DK at Vice Mag in NYC

HARLEM - GRANNY STYLE

Granny Hardgrove was born in Harlem, somewhere on 126th St.
So it was time to check out the rue de la grand mama and the surrounding hood.



Still 126th Street...




A local school did a street presentation...




Living to recycle... recycling to live...

DIESEL BLACK GOLD

Diesel Black Gold fashion show at Bryant Park, on 42nd Street, New York.
New York fashion week is substantially larger than the one in Copenhagen with more guests, more press but I still spotted a Danish model ... and Kate Bosworth at this show.
I overheard a couple in the line to get seated discussing the next season of Project Runway... and due to an apparent lawsuit it looks like 2009 will be Project Runway free.... drama! ;-)
