Speaking of SPRING 09..
A few weeks back, we received a very kind email from a guy named Callum from Australia.
In his email, he revealed to us that he had been watching our brand ever since we started in 2007 and that he also shares a lot of similar interests and beliefs. He's a huge D.I.Y. enthusiast, he's in a hardcore band, he loves to tour, he's a wiz at graphic design, and he even knows how to screen print. Long story short, Callum was in town for a week because he'll be touring with a band called Ceremony for the next few weeks throughout the US.
We decided to meet up with him in Los Angeles and ended up talking about everything including streetwear, the music industry, "artfagz", bikes, being D.I.Y., shoes, touring, and the fact that we happen to know a lot of the same people. He's a great dude and now a new good friend of ours and we definitely hope to see him again very soon! Happy travels!
Actually, this leads me to my next topic. Callum was staying at a hostel on Melrose Ave literally across the street from the Johnny Cupcakes store. Over the course of a couple days, Callum ran into Johnny a couple times and they eventually became friends and Johnny invited him to help out at his lectures the next day. Fortunately, I was already planning on going to the Whittier College lecture so I was happy that we would get to meet with Callum again and of course, see Johnny.
The lecture was very inspiring, especially for people like us. We'll always look up to Johnny for showing that you can take anything that your passionate about and turn it into a life-long achievement. Even cupcakes.
Sorry Johnny, we disagree with you on that one ;)
Callum was helping Johnny out by handling most of the photographic duties. He took a picture of us before we left.

It's been a pretty fun week, to say the least! Here's a couple fun photos.. I saw this poster while driving through LA.
And Pfeffer was washing out some screens using the high pressure water and had an accident. "Did a smurf cum on your face?"
