HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

First and foremost, I personally want to thank everyone for their birthday wishes yesterday. The last couple months have become very stressful on everyone who works here and it's always nice to be reminded that our existence on this planet is appreciated, even if it's a simple "happy birthday". It means the world to me and I greatly appreciate the love that was shown to me!

I know I haven't kept up as much on the blog as I should but there is good reason for that. My excuse for that is usually that we're so busy, but this time around it is even more overwhelmingly true than before. Both of our companies are continuing to grow without any sign of slowing down and to be honest it is both exciting and a little terrifying. We've come to the point now where both companies are becoming so busy that is actually a challenge for us to even keep up with ourselves. Now we are faced with the new task of figuring out the best ways for our companies to be as efficient as possible so that every day we are maximizing productivity and ultimately profit.

Halloween is a time to pretend to be someone else. While we're here figuring out who we really want to be with our companies, it's fun to take a break and poke fun at ourselves. We get so busy and serious focusing on who we're trying to become as people and businessmen that sometimes you need a quick splash of water in your face to chill out, relax, and remember why you are even doing this in the first place. I absolutely cannot wait to see the people we become, but for now let's put on some costumes and pretend to be what we'll never be!

All jokes aside, everyone be safe this weekend while you party hard! Look out for your family and friends and take care of yourselves!

PLEASE RAGE, RESPONSIBLY!

It has definitely been a while since we've touched down in the South Bay area, but thanks to the good gentlemen at LAX | JFK in Torrance, CA we're finally back on the map.


Unfortunately I haven't had the pleasure of meeting the owners of this fine establishment just yet, but we look forward to starting a long-lasting relationship and helping each other to grow in this industry.


They've already got a few pieces from our Fall 10 collection on the floor so make sure and stop through to check it all out! Even heard on Facebook that some locals have already started to get at it. Hurry!






We'll also be throwing a little bit of a launch party with the store very soon so stay tuned! From what I've heard, these guys know how to throw one heck of a party..


Last but certainly not least, stay tuned for a new Incentive Program t-shirt! If you remember, we've been running this deal with all of our local retailers for the past few seasons.

Headwear Delays

If you've been to our online shop already, you may have noticed that the new headwear for FALL 10 is currently on "waiting list" status. Unfortunately, we've had some manufacturer delays and so the delivery date has been pushed back just a tad. Let's just call it FALL 10 Delivery 2, shall we?

While we're on the topic, let's talk about these two new pieces. First off, we have the L&O Fitted Hat which is a new rendition of the original Never Dead Fitted Hat we first released a year ago. This version is more logo-driven featuring our two-color L&O box logo on the rear and the classic Exclamations trademark on the front in 3D embroidery. Go HERE to put yourself on the waiting list and guarantee a shot at this clean fitted.


For our FALL 10 collection, we wanted to make sure we continue to push our own boundaries so this time around we bring to you our first "non-fitted" hat. The Golden 5-Panel Hat. Utilizing similar aesthetics as the Golden Windbreaker, this hat features a sturdy construction with metallic gold logo embroidery on the front and a two-color L&O box logo label branding in the rear. Don't forget to put yourself on the waiting list for this one!


Stay tuned for the arrival on these new pieces of headwear!

Going Pro

If you are in the San Diego area on Thursday night, L&O team skater Preston Burris is having a "Skater Party" to celebrate going pro. It's all going down Thursday October 14th at BELO (18+) featuring live performances by The Pack and giveaways by yours truly, Loud& Obnoxious. Roll through, say hello, and buy Preston a drink!
