How To Make It In New York
I found this very inspirational to watch. Especially living in Hong Kong I can see similarities to life in HK and NY.
The Black Book Article –
How to Make It in America, HBO’s hip, snappy dramedy, could easily be re-titledHow to Make It in New York. Given that its two lead characters, best friends Cam and Ben, are hustling to get their clothing label off the ground, the show couldn’t really be set anywhere else other than this fashion-happy, hard-scrabble town. To show off the series’ downtown New York-ness ahead of Season Two’s October 2 premiere, HBO has released a mini-documentary about three New Yorkers who actually did make it in America. Check it out after the jump.
The three success stories are DJ, budding record mogul, and BlackBook columnist A-Trak (who even pops by our office in the video); graffiti artist and photographer Curtis Kulig (who recently remixed one of our inaugural covers); and BlackBook Industry Insider Carlos Quirarte, who, along with partner Matt Kleigman, owns The Smile and Westway. Let these three fellas show us all how it’s done.
Thanks for the find Georgie Gee.

agnès b. FLEURISTE Hong Kong
Hong Kong is short of agnès b. stores and cafes. Accept this one has more of a Southern-France feel to it. With a boulangerie-cum-open-kitchen that makes freshly baked bread and various pastries, while serving diverse European dishes.

Double Choc Thickshakes
The Flying Pan is an American style diner, famous in Hong Kong for their 24 hour breakies. So it’s no surprise if you end up chowing on a big breakfast with pancakes as the sun comes up talking sh#t with your mates or trying to fill your stomach with something to soak up all the alcohol before you go hit the bed. I love going there in the afternoon as well for an American style chocolate thickshake while I catch up on the latest HK local magazines.
Space Classics
Australia’s Adelaide Symphony Orchestra is presenting two evenings in September at a selection of the greatest sci-fi classic . I wish I was back in Australia to see this.

Beers, beats and burgers at South Bay Beach Club HK
When summer time rolls around in Hong Kong the city can become quite a steamy dumpling. So there’s nothing better than getting a crew together on a Sunday afternoon and heading to the other side of the HK island to a little spot called South Bay Beach Club. It’s a cool little rooftop cafe/bar where Steve spins some nice cruisy summer beats, the BBQ’s fired up and plenty of cold beers and jugs of mojitos. The scenery is amazing looking out to sea with the beach full of people soaking up the western sun and a fan of boats off the beach. There’s no better way to recover from the night out before or just relax before the start of another busy week.

HK Urban Terrain
I love riding my fixie in Australia but unfortunately Hong Kong isn’t the best town for fixies. All the hills and the roads and footpaths are so dodgy. Not to mention the 24 hour traffic of cars, trams, buses and people. So I recently took up Mountain Bike riding. There’s a huge MB community in HK but most of the spots take a bit of planning to organise a mini van or ferry to get to the tracks. That sucks for me because I never know when I’m going to have some free time, so instead I’ve taken the challenge to find some urban terrain around the city. I’m still getting my head around all the gears and weight distribution when going down stairs and off drops, but it’s f#ckin’ fun! I love any sport with an element of danger and gets the adrenaline going. Here’s a few pics burning around central.

Street Dreams
When I was a teenager, I lived and breathed Skateboarding. ‘Study time’ after school for me was spent skateboarding on the front driveway and every weekend. Especially Friday nights were some of the most memorable times for me meeting up with all my skater buddies in the city to explore the city terrain like a pack of rats. Sometimes we’d have a crew 30 of us take over the streets bombing hills and weaving in and out of traffic. It was the natural high it gave me and the fact it didn’t matter if you were a private school or public school kid, 9 to 5 paper pusher or living off government hand outs. We all shared a love for skateboarding and it taught us all a lot about appreciating different cultures.
I stupidly gave up skateboarding after I finished school and only continued to surf on the weekends, but after moving to Hong Kong I don’t have the luxury of beaches on my doorstep anymore so a friend has motivated me to get back into skateboarding as a form of exercise and to re-channel that love of the sport and help it inspire my creative work. I obviously no where near as good as I was before (which is so frustrating) but I’m loving it and it’s a great way to explore a new city. On the way home from this session I bumped into a few of the local boys – Francis and Paul. Who run some of HK’s top clubs and bars Fly, Volar.

ZEVS Solo Exhibition @ Art Statements Tokyo
ZEVS’ first solo exhibition in Tokyo at Art Statements will be held in two floors and will develop two distinctive themes. For ZEVS, liquidating logos (chosen amongst the most powerful brands, leaders of their consumption fields: sport, food, fashion, etc.) was never a frontal attack on their power or against consumerism. The persuasion power that these brands hold is what fascinates ZEVS. His centers of analysis have therefore always been Humans and their ongoing confrontation with temptations – seduction acts from brands – in the city, in public spaces, and against which they fight….or not.
This exhibition opens on September 2, 2011, running through the end of the month.
