We had the pleasure of spending about 24 hours in New York this week for the Agenda Trade Show. It was a productive time of meetings and general sketchy skateboard industry bid'niss bro downs.

Flying into NYC is pretty amazing if you're on the right side of the plane. Follow SPoTTampa on Instagram for stuff like this.
We have arrived in New York City for a harsh ice knife to the face. I was looking forward to the always good meals to be had here. Instead, I got my first bad meal in the city ever. This fancy ass place put the worst plate of breakfast ever set down in front of me in the history of eating. Well, not as bad as some Euro crap I've had to endure, but still. Eggs runny as a marathon, bacon rubbery like a fat tire, and a tasteless square of smashed up potatoes. So, I basically had that bread for breakfast.
Joe used to work the Shop at SPoT which means he's a card carrying member of the FSEC. He now lives in NYC working for a skate shop up here filming and shooting photos. It's awesome to see him go on and move into such a great job that involves filming with people like Gino and PJ Ladd. We'll see you back in Tampa soon, Joe.
We've been working with Herschel a bit more lately on having their bags in our Shop. They're making quality bags at a decent price.
You're either a slickback dome or a beanie top. This is a part of the floor at the show where sales pitches are slung left and right.
Lyndon from Supra is showing us the new line, picking up our dinner and drinks, and explaning how aliens built the pyramids.
This is one bangin' Half Cab. The Vans crew is in Tampa this weekend for Clash of the Crews that they're backing.
Justin Williams can help you get your new streetwear idea to life. He can get custom hats, beanies, and more done at his company, Reach Headwear. He also has a damn good backside heelflip. I haven't skated with Justin in so damn long. I hope he hasn't lost the back heel.
When you run into homies on the street, you can't stop and talk too long for fear of freezing to death. After this fast snap with John Newport aka Lower Management, we jumped into a warm cab as fast as possible.
Reese used to be a local at SPoT. He now is in the city doing shows with Trinidad James. Get his album at his site.
Here on the 600 threadcount sheets of New York swanky hotels is where grand ideas and bid'niss dreams of the sketchy skateboard industry are hatched and come to life.
Russ Pope has in his hands the sample Vans shoe we're doing with them. This one here is one of one since we're making some changes to it before the final is for sale here at SPoT in a few months.
The Berrics needs a retail shop. I can code that up for you in a weekend and have it integrated with our already smooth and efficient infrastructure at SPoT as the backend fullfillment. Not to mention our great customer service. Let's do this ya'll.
On the way out, we stopped by Katz Deli for what Jeff Pang describes as a "life changing pastrami sandwich." I don't eat meat that looks that funny so I had to get the turkey. It's pretty damn good and will change your life standard for measuring a turkey sandwich for sure. It will also change your wallet by $20 in the negative.
