Nau Pop-up Store Opening

Photobucket

21-7's intern, Vanessa invited us to a store opening for an eco-friendly, activewear line called NAU. Located on 69 Mercer in Soho, NYC, NAU will be open until December 31st, 2009. They create eco-friendly clothes made out of recycled and organic fabrics. The designs are simple, cool, and practical. But the store is purely AMAZING! Everything in the store is recycled or reused. The seats are made out of cardboard, the rolling racks were recycled materials, and there is beautiful photography all over. They had these super cool projections off the windows and ceiling. The whole design of the store is inspiring. We had a great time and met some even greater people. There was even great music from artists like Zee Avi & Amanda Palmer. Plus we got wasted off their free alcohol. Jump for a whole bunch of amazing photos taken by Vanessa and me.

Zee Avi had such a beautiful voice. Her myspace is here

Amanda Palmer was there. She looked oddly familiar to me. Then she went on stage and started to sing a great song with her great voice. I got to speak with her for a bit. Cool chick. Then I googled her and little did I fucking know. She's apparently the shit! Google her and learn. Or visit her site, AmandaFuckingPalmer.net

By the end of the night I realized I had lost my wallet. Luckily on my way out, I I was stopped by Andre to chat. The lady next to him said they had found my wallet. He said "see, that's why it's good to talk to people." And it sure is!

Thanks NAU! For having us there, for inspiring us, for being green, for making great clothes, for finding my wallet, for introducing us to great people and great artists, and most of all, for getting us wasted! It was a wonderful night.
