when visiting nyc this autum
i also went to atmos harlem 125th or so by taxi
...because of sneakers
heard the area was supposed to be ok for white men also
but when i got out of the taxi
i was feeling sooo uncomfortable.
u have to know im from europe and it was the first
time looking down a crowded street
only seeing afro-american people
then i wasnt longer sure it was a safe place to go.
as i didnt want to take out my map
i went down the street straight into a burger king
to look up for the first time
checking how people would react to our
presence (me and my girlfriend)
seemed to be ok and we could relax
a little.
after checking out where atmos
was located we went there straight.
and as sneakers sucked i decided
to buy one of the expensive obakes (blue)
for a hundred to make this trip to harlem succesfull.
now after talking to some friends in nyc
i guess it is ok to go there whatever ur "tein" is
besides this was the beginning of a love
for sb figures.
(besides bricks & kaws i was into bxh before )
still a fxxxing expensive love!
... again felt like a rookie couple of weeks ago
when s.o. on the kidrobot board said
that no one would ever buy atmos sb figures
for a hundred each - totally absurd price.
but things seem to relativate pretty fast these days
