Here 2 Stay

Last, but not least, our 2 Year Anniversary Tee. Written by Brian himself and designed by yours truly. Still D.I.Y.


Oh yeah, and if you ever signed our guestbook in the past, you may have also contributed to the design of this t-shirt. Just our little way of saying THANKS. Because without your support, we would be nothing.


Let's do a little recap. Our 2 Year Anniversary Sale will take place TOMORROW Saturday August 29th here at our new warehouse location. Please view the flyer for specifics!

** By the way, when you are on Valley Blvd. looking for the address, it may be difficult to find so here's a hint: look for the big, wooden archway next door to Paradise Showgirls. Our warehouse complex is inside the big, wooden archway. We will try to put out some warning signs on Valley Blvd. to direct you so just stay alert! If you get lost, make sure to call 626-336-4726 and we'll be sure to give you directions. Thanks!


All tees will be at wholesale price - $12 each! Everything that is left from Fall 08, Spring 09, and Summer 09 will be available. First come, first serve!








The debut release of our first fitted hat ever! Limited to 144.


And all the other exclusive event release products up for grabs tomorrow. We are going to have some really special BUNDLE DEALS where if you buy a certain amount of shirts, we're going to give you a lot of this stuff for FREE.










And of course, we'll be grilling up some free food and we'll have soda and water to cool you down. Supposedly, we're having Red Bull stop by and drop off some drinks as well, but not 100% sure yet haha keep checking our Twitter for updates on that. We're also going to have KARAOKE going so if you feel like belting out an early 90s jam or possibly winning some free stuff, bring your singing voice!

Overall, it's going to be a fun day so we hope you can make it. See you tomorrow!

"Boy, You Should've Known by Now."

LOUD& OBNOXIOUS x Elm Company. Limited to 144.
We're proud to welcome our first fitted hat to the lineup!

Utilizing a classic Black, Yellow, and White colorway, we've created a piece that's appropriate for any occasion.


We went with a unique form of embroidery to capture every detail and curve in our exclamations logo.

Constructed out of a sturdy yet light Chino Cotton Twill material, fading is near impossible!


There is a lot of attention to detail as we continue our "Never Dead" campaign with a side hit.


As you know, L&O is NEVER dead.




Around the back, we used our "Crossed" logo for a clean and balanced representation of the brand.




Watch as the hat comes around full circle, there are still more surprises.




With a yellow pin up top, we perfectly balance the use of colors.


Don't think we left it bare on the inside.


Underneath we used a Purple satin lining to compliment the yellow throughout the hat.

Oh and the custom taping job inside is on point.


"LOUD& OBNOXIOUS does it."

Through this project we wanted to bring a whole new aspect to the brand as we branch out and add some variety to our line of products. We'd like to thank everyone at Elm Company for all the samples and the background they provided for the hat to become a reality. Also a big thank you to our friends, for the feedback and constructive criticism.

More importantly, we'd like to thank all of you for the continued love and support which made this hat a possibility. We wouldn't be where we are without any of you!

See you Saturday... For those of you that come, the 2 Year Anniversary Sale will be the ABSOLUTE first chance to get your hands on it before the official release (which will be announced at a later time).

TWO!

This is it, ladies and gents. Please come rage with us. It wouldn't be the same without you! So far, you've seen the exclusive release accessories, so stay tuned to get a sneak peek at our first hitted hat and the 2 Year Anniversary t-shirt.

And yes, it does say KARAOKE so you better bring your singing voice!

Get. Stoked.

Goodies Galore

As usual, we try to make our events as special as possible and keep them as unique as we can from the last. With that being said, you know we're obviously going to go the extra mile for our 2 Year Anniversary Sale. Here's another addition to the fun products releasing exclusively on that day:

The LOUD& OBNOXIOUS Bic Lighter!


When Matt was little, he was always a pyromaniac. I bet he wishes he had this bad boy when he was making his explosive concoctions.


Here's the goodies for the sale so far. Of course, we'll have loads of stickers for you and also the pièce de résistance, our first fitted hat ever. It's a big deal for us to achieve our 2nd year of existence, and what better way to celebrate than to introduce our newest addition to our repertoire.

Settle For More

Finally getting settled in our new office space. It's not completely organized yet, but it's starting to look more and more like our dream shop. Still a bit messy, but it's getting there!


Some of the warehouse boys' new toys. We definitely went for broke on these, but completely worth it. A great investment towards the future of our businesses.


The pièce de résistance. Our very own 8 color 10 station automatic screen printing press. Once we get acclimated with this bad boy, the sky's the limit. Make sure to check out Brown MFG for some ingeniously engineered equipment and products! These guys know what they're doing.


My new office! Thanks Ikea! It's bigger and MUCH more comfortable and inviting than my previous office, which I personally think promotes better business relationships and employee morale. Can't wait to get some free time to personalize it a bit more.


New 40" Samsung LCD TV. I have a better TV in our office than in my home.


We had some awesome visitors during our moving-in period. Nick and his friends from Austin, TX have been following us ever since we started printing shirts and have kept in touch with me throughout the years. A couple weekends ago, they made a road trip to Southern California for this year's Sound and Fury festival and on their way home, decided to stop by our office. Their visit was very refreshing and it was a pleasure to meet another group of guys who are just as D.I.Y. as we are. Their comradery and motivation reminded us of ourselves, especially when they all rolled up in one big tour van. Good luck on all your endeavors and keep in touch, guys!


Once again, don't forget that our 2 Year Anniversary Sale has been moved to Saturday August 29th, and NOT tomorrow! Stay tuned for more details and teasers!

New Beginnings

Finally, my first actual blog entry in our new office. We barely had our internet activated yesterday which means my office computer is now functional! I can't believe how useless it became when it didn't have an internet connection. Really shows you how dependent we're all becoming on technology. ANYWAY..


For the first few days of moving, we literally just had boxes and boxes of our equipment, product, and supplies everywhere. At this point, we tried to start mapping out where we wanted to permanently place everything. Even my office was starting to shape up.


Pfeffer's neighbor Chris is quite the handyman and ended up building our brand new darkroom in ONE day. You could legitimately live in there.


Thankfully, our friends were kind enough to lend us a helping hand. Thanks again, guys! You know who you are!


We also hired Pfeffer's uncle Mike the Electrician again since he did such an amazing job in our last warehouse. One of his works was fearless on the ladder, literally just standing on the top step without hesitation.


Break time for Pat.


Playing some Madden NFL 2009 on the new TV.


Called it a day after that, and then tried to make Kris look awesome.


As the day came to an end, we just chilled in the parking lot to reflect on what we had done. It's always comforting to have the support of your friends and loved ones, but also the people who just genuinely support and appreciate our companies and what we do. Thank you to all who have helped us get to the point we are at now.


I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.

2 YEAR SALE - DATE CHANGED!

As you may have noticed, we haven't been keeping up on the updates as much as we should. And if you've been following us on Twitter (which you should), you also know that the 2 Year Anniversary Sale has unfortunately been pushed back a couple weeks.

First and foremost, we apologize to everyone who had their schedules and calendars already planned out. While moving into our new office and warehouse, we've been experiencing all kinds of different delays with several service providers and manufacturers and it all summed up to us having to push back the sale. We actually still don't even have internet in the office (thanks for nothing Verizon) and I'm on our laptop borrowing wireless from the neighbors.

Give us a couple more days and all of our glorious blog postings will continue, I promise! Pictures, updates, teasers, and all! Thank you for bearing with us.

Anyway, here's the UPDATED information for our 2 Year Anniversary Sale. Read carefully:

p.s. I got two words for you, Verizon.

HECTIC

We apologize for the delay in updates! We're still trying to get situated in the new office and warehouse but unfortunately still waiting for a couple utilities. Our electricity and phone services are finally connected but looks like the internet isn't operational yet, which is why I'm actually working from home today.

Anyway, check out the details below for our 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY SALE next Saturday! Don't miss out! We need to get rid of ALL of our older stock to make room for our upcoming seasons, so you know the deals are going to be great!

I apologize once again to all L&O and GRink customers and clients for the delays! We're trying to make this move as smooth and easy as possible. Thank you for bearing with us!
