OnlyNY have been getting quite a lot of blog attention recently, probably becasue of their restrained, borderline minimal, graphic and type style, and I think you guys can count me as a fan of them as well (speaking of fans, why the hell aren’t you a
fan of HYA on Facebook yet?).
I picked NY Don’t Sleep as my pick from their store not necessarily because it’s their best shirt, but because it reminded me of when I was in Brooklyn at four or five in the morning as me, Tigg, and David were leaving a party, and I was thinking we’d have to get a taxi back to Manhattan, but was amazed to find that we could still take the subway, considering the tube in London gives up before 1am this totally blew my mind (I may have had some liquid assistance in reaching this state of blown mindedness). That’s what I like, a city that isn’t sleeping when I’m not, but I was also glad of double-glazed windows when I was sleeping!

During my 4 visits to New York last year I did feel somewhat like a tourist, which is fair enough because I was, though by the 2nd/3rd visit I was able to get around without looking at my guidebook much, so I’d like to think I blended in a bit, but do you know who look like tourists? British people.
It’s ridiculous, we stick out like sore thumbs, and it makes us look bad as a nation because they always seemed to be complaining or doing something dumb and touristy. There’s nothing wrong with being a tourist, and I don’t expect people to get off a plane and become a local, but at least try not to be so obviously confused by your surroundings. And yes, if you’re from a different country you can probably substitute the word British for your own nationality and have the same feelings.*

*I know, this is a really badly written article, but it’s not like anyone’s really reading on the weekend anyway.

Ok, I’m probably going to take another day or two off from posting, because I simply don’t have the time at the moment, but should be able to get a lot done at the weekend. It would probably be prudent to give you early warning that I’m going to be taking most of May off because I will be traveling around America before returning to England, and with an extremely packed schedule (5 cities in 18 days), t-shirts will have to take a backseat for a little while. Also, people of Los Angeles/Las Vegas/San Fransisco/Boston/New York (for a 4th and final time since I arrived in America), you may need to prepare yourselves for the HYA invasion, better known as “Andy asking for advice about where is cool to go in your city.”
Anyway, when I was in New York at the weekend I went for a night out on the town with David from Seibei (left of picture) and had a great time, we ended up at a house party in Brooklyn because of the girl in the middle of this picture (David knows her), who it just so happens I had actually written about in the past (she put mittens on a hoodie and made it cute). Small world, right?
Okay, I promise the next post won’t have a picture of me at the top of it, it will definitely have more to do with t-shirts other than me going drinking with someone that owns a t-shirt line.
