I love NY. Clearly as this will be my 4th trip up there within 6 years! (3 years in a row) For real, this is what I want to do - live like the locals, visit Chinatown, Greenwich Village/SoHo, experience the awesome styles made available to me.
We fly out Saturday morning of the 14th and fly back Friday night via Jet Blue.
Here is what I've encountered and/or learned:
- That Greenwich village is actually pronounced with a soft "e"
- That the 3 speakers I listened to were not very motivating. What a bummer because this is supposed to be the biggest retail technology show in the US. Sephora and Aeropostle's VP of Visual Merchandising didn't seem too passionate about their field. The president of CAB Marketing (who worked on clients such as Circuit City) gave a marketing 101 speech to mom-and-pop retailers. Sigh. I tried so hard to sneak into Bill Clinton's speech but to no avail. I needed a powerful speaker to help me out! At least the speaker for "Fashion and the Future" was interesting because he talked not only about fashion but the science behind it and how it's actually lagging behind other industries such as architecture, interiors, science, gadgets, etc.
And then some! Overall it was a good trip!
