Viva Las Business Trip.
We've had quite the eventful week / weekend. On Wednesday we made our way to Las Vegas to appear at DunkxChange and MAGIC. Staying up late with all the excitement and preparations, then having to wake up early to depart leaves us looking like the bunch of not so happy campers.
Bartholomew had to get a new look before we left as well. I really should wash him.
Home Suite Home for the next couple days.
Checked in with a couple tools of the trade.
After all these shenanigans we high tailed it to DunkxChange at the Beauty Bar to set up. It was a very windy night with sideways palm trees and street signs swaying back and forth. Our displays got covered in dust, but it was well worth all the people we've met and the good times we had.
Here are our good friends in RAH! / Fully Laced.
Like I said, windy.
About MAGIC, you can go to anyone and their mom's blog to see pictures from MAGIC. Pretty much, it was huge and very eye opening. Getting to see what's in store (no pun intended) for the months to come and meeting new people. We pretty much went into MAGIC as a bunch of newbs with no idea of what to expect. But upon exit, we were rejuvenated with thoughts of what we needed to accomplish as a brand to bring you (the consumer) bigger and better things.
We enjoyed our time sharing enlightening conversations with EK5OBITION, Tommy from OBEY, Imaginary Kingdom, the Rooted Movement / 5STAR ARMY crew, Tina from Premium Label, and Zach from Thoroughbredz.
Breakfast of champions before getting on the showroom floor.
Back to the room before our little Vegas shop hopping session.
During our excursion to Las Vegas, we've come to know that the Vegas urban / "streetwear" scene is very open and welcoming, filled with friendly people with open arms and open hearts. It's insane to think how quickly we became acquainted and befriended people in the 702. Very different to how the culture is out here in California.
The next three stores I'm about to mention are filled with the greatest employees and a great "hangout" atmosphere.
EPIC- They have a great selection of shoes and carry BBC, Ice Cream, ALIFE, Nike (they have a quickstrike account), and VANS.
Cloth and Canvas-A nicely set up boutique reminiscent of your local convenient store with an artsy twist. They carry choice denim, OBEY, Hellz Bellz, Gravis, and VANS. We had the opportunity to hang out with the owner Cyndy and Rico. They were nice enough to give us a case of Premium Good Diet Pepsi which came in a really cool collectible bottle. (Pics of the Coke later.)
Paul of SoleSnatcher / LA Lemon / Fresh Prints fame.
Thoroughbredz- Located in the same plaza as Cloth and Canvas, they are the exact opposite. With more of a streetball type of feel, they carry brands such as Mishka, Nike, Twelve Bar, Undrcrwn, Mama, and many others.
A big thank you goes out to Mr. Augusto Apostol (Matt and Vince's Father) for getting us our spectacular suite and for just coming with us to Vegas. It is greatly appreciated and Vegas could never be experienced like this with anyone else.
We are also now on Dannyboy's (La Coka Nostra) Daily Dose. Go check it out, we were interviewed by one of the writers, Ryan Rescobar.
And last but definitely not least, we just had a photoshoot with DAM-IT. Thanks again! Go check them out on our myspace!
All right folks, that's it for today. WHEW! Remember to check back often, we got a lot of motivation and drive to pursue our passions and to bring you more than ever!
Thanks to all the supporters out there who have turned this project into something more than "just for fun". Be on the lookout!

PS. Told you we'd update this thing more.
