Nick Wooster needs absolutely no explanation on these digital pages. We’ve all seen roughly 7.5 billion images of the man striding down streets, shrouded in a cloud of cigarette smoke, flanked by two other dudes you see a lot, but aren’t as cool as Woost God. Full disclosure: I actually have met Nick before this and he’s one of the nicest, most congenial dudes I’ve met in this industry. THAT RIGHT THERE WAS A POWER BRAG, MOTHERFUCKERS. When you meet members of the Illuminati, you always post a photo of them on Tumblr with the caption: "Ran into this guy today. Couldn’t be nicer or more humble." If you don’t say they’re humble on the Internet the Illuminati will never begrudgingly get introduced to you on a street in New York City outside some presentation they only attended as a "favor to the publicist" again. Anyway, the holidays are fast approaching and Nick invited me over to his spot on Christopher Street to finish wrapping up some last minute presents. Do join us…

Thank God Nick has a visible televison. You know how many cool creative guys hide their TVs like they are ashamed of lowest common denominator entertainment? Last time I hung out with Rick Owens he proudly showed off all his mini-fridges, but pretended like he never heard of Laguna Beach. Wooster and I laughed at the pretensions of others and then played some NBA 2K14.

Cool people like Wooster always have random shit artfully arranged all over the place. I thought these joints were really weird bocce balls, but before I could ask, Nick made an awesome Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade reference about that gold chalice.

Just as we finished up with the presents, the buzzer rang and Nick got up to answer. It was the Indian food he ordered before I got there. It took forever, but he got a credit from Seamless, so it’s cool. While he was up, I noticed that he owned the Maharishi DPM book on camo. I know, I shouldn’t have been surprised because Wooster invented camo, but I really want that book, you know? I just bought the Supreme book for my sister, so I swapped the books and Wooster didn’t even notice! But then he offered me some samosas and a glass bottle Coke. HOW DID NICK KNOW I LOVE SAMOSAS? I waited for him to go get coasters and swapped the books back. I can’t steal from the benevolent Woost God! He just gave me his last samosa for Christ’s sake! NICK WOOSTER SHAMED ME WITH HIS HOSPITALITY AND GENEROSITY. Also, his presents are wrapped way better than mine.
