So I got a call yesterday…

SP will be giving away shirts on stage at the Anaheim House of Blues, TONIGHT!!

Again, Sessions recording artist, OPTIMUS is opening up for Floacist, one half of the UK’s neo-soul super duo, Floetry.  It’s gonna be a great show, so get your asses out there if you can.  The SP giveaway will be at the start of Optimus’ set!

$22.50 at the door!  Anaheim House of Blues in Downtown Disney!

Peace, “BK”

You can imagine,  it’s been quite the challenge juggling all my responsiblities.  Despte being 3 months behind schedule, it’s business as usual and things are moving along fine.  Over the last 10 months in business (yea, can you believe its been that long?), I’ve announced obstacle after obstacle, problem after problem, and delay after delay.  Not to say, that I didn’t expect any hurdles and hiccups, BUT I’m glad to have experienced it that way because I know I’ve learned more, and things have definitely turned out for the better.

Thanks to everybody for supporting and believing us through all the bullshit.  Keep spreading the word, keep reading the blog, and keep them online orders coming!

Here’s a recap of what’s been going on…

1.  I’m moving, AGAIN, back up to LA this time…you know how moving is…

2.  The new tee (that’s replacing the Any Given Sunday tee) is printing as we speak and should be in the webstore by Monday.  I call it “City of Angels” and the shit is FIRE!  On the other hand, I’m thinking about setting the other ones ON fire…ehh or maybe just donating them somewhere.

3.  The new tank tops are almost ready for you lovely ladies, too!  They’ll be available for purchase on the webstore for $15 a pop, but if you act right, I just might hook you up for free (in person, that is).  Show me whatcha workin’ with!

4.  I should be receiving the Sanz Pareil keychains in the next 10 days, or so.  I said before, you just might find them very useful.  We’re even considering an added surprise to it, which you might find even MORE useful.  You’ll be thanking us later.  Stay tuned to find out what it is.

5.  Now that we’re almost done “re-finishing” the line up, we can finally make our look book.  Once, that’s complete, we’ll be hittin’ the streets HEAVY.  Be on the lookout.

6.  Much love to all the haters for keeping us going.  Middle fingers to all you fakes (aka teletubbies) and snitches (aka stool pigeons)…y’all know who you are.  STOP frontin’ and tellin’ stories.  Dweebs.

I’ll try to get you guys some pictures of the new shit before the weekend!  You already know what it is.          SP ALL DAY!

Peace, “BK”

P.S.S.  Sessions Recording Artist, OPTIMUS, will be performing live at the Anaheim House of Blues, this Saturday.  He is opening up for FLOACIST, one half of the UK neo-soul super-duo Floetry.  For tickets goto:

I’m finally back from my week long stay in hot and humid Arizona (It’s usually dry and I luckily caught the tail end of monsoon season, so didn’t see much rain)…good times with family and friends.

My little brother finally commissioned as a U.S. Marine Lieutentant and will soon be leading a few good men into battle as an infantry officer.  Not exactly what the family would like for him to be doing, but we are all proud nonetheless.  Especially my dad, former ROK Marine who served in Vietnam (Recon), and retired from the U.S. Army after twenty some odd years (MI).  Yea, you can imagine growing up with that…

Speaking of which, dad probably hadn’t been back in AZ in almost 20 years (we used to be stationed in Ft. Huachuca back in the day), so he wanted to do some “re-visiting” and “sightseeing”.  Unfortunately, we didn’t have too much time, so we crossed Tombstone off the list (which we had already been to before anyway)…Kartchner Caverns apparently requires an advanced reservation…but Saguaro National Park was easy access for us to feast our eyes on.  I don’t say this very often, but the scenery was BREATHTAKING!

Peep my photography game…

There’s cacti all over the place!  Mostly Saguaro…obviously…

Check out the size of this one…and there ARE bigger ones, by the way…

Check out pops’ kicks…yes, they are his…

There it is.  Although I still had to work during my stay and AZ has always been a very familiar place to me, it was nice to take a little break from Southern California.  I don’t know where I’m headed next, but the Bay, Vegas, Seattle, and NY are definitely on the top of that list.  I should have already hit 1 or 2 of them by now, but you already know how I fell way behind schedule and shit.

Which reminds me, things are being set back just a tad bit more…we’ve decided to drop one of the shirts from our line up and you probably know which one it is.  Yes, that “Any Given Sunday” one has got to go.  I had mentioned in a previous post about how I was in a rush and had to compromise the graphics for it, due to printing issues.  Well I think we all knew that it was shitty from the get go.  I mean, it’s a hot ass quote, but the graphics are just way too shitty.  Stay tuned for its replacement!!

Also FYI, we are making some more sexy beaters for all you sexy ladies out there.  That last batch ran out quick…shit was gone in a few weeks!!  We’re also making some Sanz Pareil keychains and you just might find it useful.  So be on the look out people!

Before I go, I just want to say thanks again to everybody that has supported SP through all the growing pains.  It has truly been an amazing experience to see the rising number of viewers on this blog every month (only if sales rose like that, too *ahem* haha).  Well, if you enjoy reading my posts and haven’t already done so, please subscribe to our RSS Feed, which you will find at the top of the archive column to the right OR cut and paste the link below…I’m having trouble making it a link…yea yea, i’m not a computer guy…

This will automatically inform you anytime I make a new post.  And PLEASE stop being shy and leave some comments damnit!  As I have said many times before, I need your feedback for motivation!  Feel free to talk shit if you want…IT’S ALL GOOD!

Peace, “BK”

First and foremost, big thanks to the Concrete Project for rockin’ the stage on Friiday night at Canes…you guys always pull a great crowd to make for a great party.  You know I gotta give a big shout out to all the SP FAM BAM for making it happen!  SP is the truth GAT DAMNIT!!  And last but not least, thanks to all the folks that keep supporting us as we grow.  Still have a long ways to go!! If you guys missed it, TOO BAD!  Coulda seen me actin’ a FOOL!  Haha.  Check out pictures from the event!

That was setup and soundcheck…now for the madness…

Concrete finally hits the stage at midnight!

Concrete fucks the crowd up and SP finally hits the stage…

Due to the combination of the everlasting rush of adrenaline brought upon the crowd by Concrete Project, mixed with intoxicated madness, the raffle didn’t quite work the way it should have, BUT we improvised and sent away a handful of winners with free gifts.  Considering the amount of alcohol that had been sold and consumed by 1AM, I guess I’m not surprised.

Well, there it is…hope to see you at the next one!  BIATCHES!!!!

Peace, “BK”

Free raffle at Canes tonight!  Three lucky winners will be receiving Concrete Project’s brand spankin’ new album PLUS a badass “SD” shirt made exclusively by none other than, yours truly, Sanz Pareil mutha fuckas!!!  There will also be a massive SP logo tee giveaway during Concrete’s set!!

Oh, and all 16 designs are available for purchase on our webstore now!!  NO shipping and handling!!

Peace, “BK”
