Deprived of sleep and half delirious, I’ve finally made it back to Monday, ALIVE, and I am eager to share my crazy weekend with all of you. Long story short, the past several weeks have been hectic trying to push the new prints out and preparing for this past weekend. From Fashion Flood in Long Beach on Friday night, I had to DD the homie’s truck to the other homie’s in Irvine, then drove myself to LAX to catch a flight to Phoenix at 6am…got picked up (thanks D) and driven down an hour and a half to Tucson for my brother’s college grad (congrats baby bro!!!)…then caught a flight back home in the evening to prepare for the OPTIMUS music video shoot the next day in Van Nuys…need I say more?? Check out the pictures from Fashion Flood and the MV shoot!!
Granted the LB venue and crowd wasn’t as big as I had expected, it was definitely a good night. It’s all love out there in Long Beach. Apparently, most of the other brands didn’t even show up, so we were able to flood that mother fucker with SP shit. Shout outs to Bossman Bong for putting us on…happy birthday homie! Shout outs to Caged Monkey for promoting the party, LONG BEACH for showing us love, and always a very special thanks to all my FAM BAM for coming out to support the cause and help me make it happen!!
Oh and congratz to the two winners of the Jordan Raffle!!
Now Sunday, was a whole different vibe…100+ degrees, outdoors, poolside, in the “Valley” (u kno what goes down in the valleys), Hollywood folks, industry heads, etc…of course it was the music video shoot for OPTIMUS’ hot single, “ON THE GRIND”. If you don’t know OPTO by now, go check him and his music out at myspace.com/optimustv and optimustv.com. Him and the band have a great live sound of hip hop, rock, and reggae all fused into one. I guarantee you’ll dig it.
Anyways, it was a great day. I was able to meet a ton of great people, got my network on, gave away a bunch of shit, and even got a handful of shirts ON THE VIDEO!!! Things couldn’t have gone any better. From the bottom of my heart, I thank CL and Sessions Entertainment for allowing SP to be a part of this great event. Due to Hot Tuna Bikini sponsoring the whole shindig, not everybody was allowed to rock SP shit (especially the girls), but I’m thankful nonetheless to those who did and for all the positive feedback from everybody. It was nothing but love and quite the experience. Check out the pics!
So there it is folks…another productive weekend for SP. Again, if you are new to Sanz Pareil, please take some time to check out our myspace page, add us, and read through my previous blog posts (both on here and myspace) to catch up on SP and find out who we are! Leave some comments, show us some love, or even talk some shit…it’s ALL gravity!!
Peace, “BK”
