Cargo Trade Show

The Cargo Trade Show is back at St. Patrick’s Center, 268 Mulberry Street [between Spring & Houston] in New York’s NoLita. The area, now considered a yuppie enclave, is filled with turn-of-the-century walk-ups and smartly designed street facing fashion boutiques that’s become an off-the-beaten-path destination for urban chic.

Given my background in all things DJ culture, many of the featured brand’s use music as a driver in the marketing. Sponsors included Karmaloop.com, the online urban fashion retailer.

On Tuesday, I’ll be heading down there with camera in tow to shoot some pics for Netmix.

A few of the brand on hand include:

• amivectio
• bolt cutter
• e.5.Charlie
• entree
• frank 151
• gabriel ruiz
• gifted threads
• greedy genious
• lingo 12
• milkcrate athletics
• rebel aire
• sabit
• stall & dean
• the loots
• triko
• wild child nation
• yours truly

I snapped this neat NYC transit inspired piece on the 5 train to Brooklyn. The artist is Phillipe Lechien. It’s an amazingly detailed piece that captures both the close proximity of urban living and slices of daily living in the city interconnected by transit. Such a fun portrait of NYC.

A few days ago, I inadvertently took down my personal TonyZeoli.com web site, after my former hosting company informed me that they were moving off one provider to another. Although I double checked my admin, I didn’t realize my personal blog was still being hosted with the provider in question. Much to my dismay, after I’d sent an “all clear” to the system administrator, they deleted my hosting account and along with it my personal blog.

Of course, being a web veteran, I should have had that site backed up, but I hadn’t done it in a while. Alas, I have to rebuild, which is fine because there wasn’t much here yet anyway. However, I do plan on really developing this blog/site over time as a hub for everything that I’m working on. I’ve been re-inspired, so to speak, to use this online venue as a platform for my ideas as well as a place to post things I pick up every day.

Now that I’m publishing TonyZeoli.com, I’m going to do my best to use the WordPress publishing app for the iPhone, which somehow remains dormant despite the fact that it’s on the first screen of my phone.

I’m not sure yet the direction I’m going to take, but I want to be as open as I can about what it is that I’m working on in my daily life. It may go from the mundane to things that I think are quite exciting. I will try and post tutorials about things I’ve learned with links and images, as well as video musings, maybe a few podcasts, pictures are always fun, and stuff for my portfolio. Hope you can come along for the ride.
