Ebb & Flow
First off, I apologize about the lack of blog updates for the past few days. Our screen printing company Glad Rags Ink has been slammed with print orders for our clientele and it has been hard for me to keep up with writing blogs. Sometimes, it feels like there are not enough hours in the day, but I'm going to do my best to find time to keep all of you updated on our daily happenings. Anyway, enough of my crying.
Last weekend, we had the pleasure of having Karl Schubach (Misery Signals) visit our side of town. For the past few months, Misery Signals has been filming footage and interviews for an upcoming full-length movie documentary about the band. The movie spans varying topics including their beginnings, life-altering events, touring around the world, writing new music, and all the other tomfoolery that goes along with being in a band with your best friends. The best part about the movie is that it's not like every other band DVD, where you would only enjoy it if you were a fan of the band. The movie is very professionally filmed and edited in a way that anyone can learn and enjoy. At times, the movie even pulled at my heartstrings a little bit. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll shit your pants.
Karl was in town to finish some of the interviews for the movie, so luckily we were able to lace him up with the L&O Fall 09 collection just in time for filming. Since Karl has been with L&O ever since our inception, he's got quite a collection of his own and I can honestly say that L&O is well represented in the movie. He ended up staying with us for the weekend and fortunately we had the chance to visit Pivotal Post in North Hollywood and view the screening of the first cut of the movie.
We also had a chance to meet Marcus De Leon and Andy Morrish, the brains behind the film, and discuss key points of the movie so far. They followed the band while they were on tour all over the world for the past few months gathering footage and information about the band and interviewing family and friends.
It was a cool experience to see how real directors, producers, editors, and cinematographers work and how they get things done, regardless of if it's a blockbuster multi-million dollar movie or an in-depth documentary about a non-mainstream band.
On one of the nights, we took Karl to our favorite spot for authentic Thai cuisine, Thai Gulf. Even Art (Winds of Plague) made it out to hang with us (follow L&O on Twitter!) and have his first taste of yellow curry. If you haven't already tried Thai Gulf, I suggest you make your way out to Huntington Beach on Beach Blvd and do it! The owner, John, is the best man in the world!
Karl enjoying some more pad see ew the next day at the office. Left-overs rule.
Turns out Karl had more surprises for us. Surprises that he didn't even remember until we pointed it out.
"Oh yeah, I forgot about that!" Looks like Karl is the first person to immortalize our logo on skin. Thanks buddy! We're flattered, to say the least. I think we need to step it up and get our fix too. Yikes!
Before Karl left, the boys made sure to have a BlackBerry meeting. This is what it looks like.
In the words of the great Jim Carrey as Lloyd Christmas, I hate goodbyes!
Hopefully we'll see you again in January!

p.s. Thank you to everyone for their birthday wishes to me yesterday! I feel very loved and lucky to have so many supporting people in my life, whether I know you personally or not. It has been a roller coaster of a year, and I thank you all for the love. It is greatly appreciated, and it means the world to me.
What's my age again? Nobody likes you when you're 23.
