The NYC HandBallers from 13thWitness™ on Vimeo.
13thwitness created this short video on some of the people in the handball community here in New York City. Growing up, I never actually got into handball, but a lot of my friends were into it and this video pretty much covers the view I had sitting on the sidelines watching. [via]

Superdry New York Flagship Store opening party
November 13, 2009 @ 8:47 am
Here are some photos from the Superdry New York store launch party which was held last night. The store was closed to the public from 6PM onward and open only to invited guests and press to see the full set of apparel, bags, accessories, and jeans. I was told that folks from the UK (Superdry’s headquarters) were at the event to see the opening of the company’s first dedicated Superdry outlet. The store itself is huge (one of the largest single clothing retailers along Broadway) and the inside is outfitted with unique clothing shelves that were branded and made to look like they were picked up at the junkyard.
While people were mingling and having food and drinks, I looked around at their line and was impressed with their line of jackets, some of which I don’t recall seeing at their online store at Cult. In any case, I really wanted to try them on but I felt a bit weird doing so at the opening party, so I’ll probably head back in at a later time and let you know how they feel.
The attention to detail even came down to the tags on the clothes as some items included a nice and beat-up aluminum piece to take home after purchase. Overall, the store is worth a visit and inside you’ll find a wealth of great clothing and accessories options for this coming winter. If you aren’t in NYC, here are some photos you can check out.

Escape From Tomorrow (A Day In the Life With Nigel Sylvester) from 13thWitness™ on Vimeo.
13thwitness and BMX rider Nigel Sylvester took it to the streets of New York City to show off some of the moves that Nigel can accomplish on his bike. Nigel jumps over several objects on his bike that I would have trouble jumping over on my feet. That makes me sad. [via]
Clever NYC Spaghetti packaging
October 31, 2009 @ 11:49 pm
Alex Creamer, a student at the University of Central Lancashire in the UK, created this unique product packaging for spaghetti using a 3D model of the Chrysler Building in New York City that he stuck to the inside of a white rectangular box. The result of placing spaghetti inside this box is that the spaghetti mimics the shape of the Chrysler Building when opened. Kinda a nice surprise, no?

Wow, I believe this is the first time I’ve ever seen a cake fashioned to look like a New York City MTA Subway car (an F train, too!). It’s not perfect, but it is kind of neat I think, so kudos to Dahlia’s Cakes for putting this together.
