Like a stone, like a stone!
It has been quite the busy week trying to catch up on work after the 1 Year Anniversary weekend. As you may or may not know, my brother Matt and I also run a screen printing company called GLAD RAGS INK which occupies most of our time while we are in the office (for the record, it's still weird to say that we have an 'office'). With the help of our long-time friend Robert Pfeffer, we recently went 'legit' with GR and finally invested into our own cozy little warehouse and office in City of Industry, literally right down the street from our former 'headquarters' - the Apostol residence in Hacienda Heights, CA.
For all you Southern Cali folks, our good friends at LA LEMON will be having a sample sale this Saturday. Check that shit out! We hear big things are on the way from those dudes. Sick like Sars!
Speaking of good friends, the dudes from FLY ROBOT stopped by at the office the other night to pick up their Fall Quickstrike which Glad Rags Ink happily printed for them! Make sure you stop by their blog and check out what's going on over there. Elie took some sweet paparazzi photos of me in the office trying to reject some phone solicitors. Some smart guys over at Fly Robot, they get their daily dose of hater-ade just like us! Hahaha!
And of course, shameless self-promotion for our other company - GLAD RAGS INK is currently doing an End of Summer Deal - 100 white shirts w/ 1 color print for only $375 and 50 white shirts w/ 1 color print for only $200! No fees, no delays, no bull. You will get your tees in a week, no joke. If you're looking for a quick and dirty deal, hit me up at my email - vince@gladragsink.com!

While we're on the topic, I might as well get some facts straight about both our young companies. For some reason, people have been confused at the whole GR/L&O co-existence. Glad Rags Ink is run by my brother Matt, Robert, and myself (Vince) while LOUD& OBNOXIOUS is run by Matt, Brian, and myself. GR is a screen printing company and L&O is a clothing brand which came as a direct result of us having our own screen printing company. I think the part where people get really confused is the fact that GR technically prints for L&O, which also means that L&O prints everything themselves. It's all the same! I hope that cleared it up a bit haha!
Because of the move, L&O now also calls the City of Industry office its home and we couldn't be happier with our current setup. All of us have always had a fierce DIY mentality and strong ambition to do something less monotone with our lives. It's amazing what you can do when you're 'armed with a mind' (lyric: Have Heart). We know we're sitting on a massive amount of potential and will continue to push ourselves to keep upholding a brand with meaning. With the Fall season on the horizon, we're very excited about all the bigger plans that we have and can't wait to share them with you.
And now, here's the news you were REALLY waiting for: upcoming events/releases!
This coming weekend we will be up in lovely San Francisco, CA once again for the wonderful event known as DUNKXCHANGE. The festivities are currently set for August 30th & 31st
so make sure to check out the DXC website (www.dunkxchange.com) for more information on the events. All tees will be on sale at $15 a tee and as usual, just come to our table and maybe we can work out some ridiculous deals for you. Last but certainly not least, we will have a very special surprise that will be on sale starting at this SF DXC event. I can't tell you what it is yet, but let's just say we're bringin' the heat.
--------
Due to popular demand, we've decided to do a small (and I mean, small!) re-print of the LA Torre tee in both white and dodger blue. All re-prints will only be available at two locations - most of them at Authentix in Claremont, CA and the rest will be at the LOUD& OBNOXIOUS office in City of Industry, CA. We will be announcing a date on the release soon so keep checking back because this will be last you'll see of the LA Torre for a long time!
--------
For those of you paying attention, ToyBoxTim picked up some Fall and Winter stock from us a while back but was never able to fully make it available on his online store due to some technical difficulties. After nearly a year, Tim is back and so is his online store and it's better than ever! He will be updating it soon after his return from the MAGIC Tradeshow this coming week and L&O's rare, old stock will finally be available again. So if you're still paying attention, this means that a certain 'scandalous' t-shirt from our debut Fall season might just be available. Uh oh. ;)
