SUMMER SERIES RELEASE RECAP
It was a SIZZLING HOT day this past Saturday during the FFB Summer Series release, but the heat most certainly didn't stop the loads of people who came out supported and partied with Fur Face Boy and Adikt!
Thy (left) and Erika (right) showed up early to get their hands on the new FFB line.
While Nathan and Jennifer drove in from San Antonio to get their FFB fix!
FFB super fan/ hot girl, Nikia made the drive all the way from Oklahoma City! WOWZERS!
Nikia wasn't the only hot girl hanging out and having fun...
This is Charlotte and her son, B.J. Charlotte is a co-worker of mine at my dayjob! No biggie ,right? Well, the funny thing about that is that NO ONE at my day job has a clue (atleast I think they don't) that I do FFB on the side! But since I started my dayjob during the same time Charlotte did, we came to form a good friendship and trust. She knows to keep FFB hush, hush at work and for that I thank her! She got B.J. hooked on the brand, and he's pretty close to having pretty much all FFB tees! B.J. is a musical genius! Trust me, sometimes at work, his mom will go on and on about his musical talents and how proud she is of him. It's awesome!
My friend, Heather came out to show some FFB love and grab up some of the free ice cream that we were serving up on this lava hotass day! Heather is a graphic designer and is always in the market for design work, so if anyone is hiring, make sure you check out Heather's badass design work HERE.
Time to bomb!
Binh (for the win) has been a FFB supporter since I first stared out! Don't believe me? Check out THIS EMAIL I recieved from him way back.
MEGA FAN, ERICKA was being camera shy this day. I still put her on blast though.
This is my friend Brandon and his girl. Brandon just got back from a Summer NYC vacation and turned alot of heads rocking FFB. It truly is the fans like Binh, Ericka, Brandon and YOU who help make the brand grow more and more by the day!
Love was in the Summertime air during the release. Jose and Katy are one of the best couples I've ever seen in my life. Not only do they look great together, but they're also semi FFB designers. How you ask? Well, awhile back, I gave Jose and Katy a first look at Series III before it released. I asked them for their opinions and they told me some suggestions. In the end, Jose and Katy played a BIG part in the color selection of the FFB Fancy tee! Cool huh? Yea, I know. Thanks again guys!
Another beautiful couple...Leon and Ani. Usually, during an event I'm giving advice on how to start up your own T-shirt brand, but on this day I gave these two some relationship advice. Wanna know what I told them? Just e-mail them and ask! Haha...
EMAIL Leon.
EMAIL Ani.
Psssst....ask them about their CRAZY dance moves too!
WHIP IT!
Brown from Sore Losers was back in town from L.A. to hang out and par-tay! Download Sore Losers mix album, Free Loaders HERE. I can't lie, I play 8587 (Birthday) pretty much every morning.
We rented an ice cream cart for the full Summertime experience (YES! FFB goes all out!) My friend, Sam from Unkommon Kolor is ready to tear some ice cream up! Wise move, Sam! Wise move, indeed!
This is the NEW cookie queen, E-Dub! As in E-DUB-ALICIOUS! She stopped by with a backpack full of dozens upon dozens of THE BEST home made cookies that I've ever eaten in my entire life time! From chocolate chip to peanut butter to macedonian to one of my new favorites...lemon blueberry! Check out her twitter and @ her some orders, I know I'll be ordering some soon!
It's always MEGA cool to see support from all the shops that I've come to work with in the past. Approaching these shops and coming up with an event takes alot of time and planning. So during the planning, it's always fun to build a relationship and get to know each other so much more. So much so, that I can proudly say that everyone that I've worked with are now my friends!
This is the magnificent Jully from We Are 1976! Just last month, we worked together and put on a VERY SUCCESSFUL workshop on how to start your own T-shirt brand!
Hance from Centre came out to say...What's up. Hance is an AMAZING photographer, check out his perspective from the day HERE.
Of course, my Shogun homies came out too! Keith Shogun drinks with only the best of 'em and that's why Keith Shogun drinks alone!
BIG THANKS to Darren and the the ENTIRE Adikt crew for hosting such an INCREDIBLE event. This is pretty much how me and Darren came up with the idea. Yes....that's all it take.
It was mad outside, but it was just as mad inside! I gave Adikt intern, Nate a FFB Ice Pop tee, BUT he had to earn it! And that he did! NATE! NATE! NATE! NATE!
There's photos and videos floating around the internet of all of the madness that happened inside. I'll let you do the work and look for it. This is all I'm pretty much gonna show you.
I love Fur Face Girls.
A SUPER-SONIC, HYPER, MEGA, ULTRA THANKS goes out to my cousin, Vy and FFB intern #2, Dave (Intern #1, Angel is STILL vacationing in the Philippines) both of them did an EXTRAORDINARY job handling sales and inventory, which gave me time to talk and hang out with the many fans who came out and showed the FFB love! There were times, when I just stood back for a few seconds and watched them work and I was SUPER impressed. Vy said she's learning book keeping and she started an inventory system for me after seeing how ridicuously atrocious I kept my inventory and Dave continues to let EVERYONE know about the brand everyday!
Believe me, if I can ship this brand to even further distances, there's NO DOUBT in my mind that both Vy and Dave AND Angel will play big parts in the brand. I don't want to dissapoint them and I know that they don't want to dissapoint me, when creating a team EVERYONE has to use their talents and be on the same page. And with the group that I have, I KNOW we can do some EVEN MORE AMAZING things in the future.
It was definitely a Summertime blast! The crowd, the food, the ice cream, the music, the drinks, the ENTIRE VIBE was perfection! If you're looking for the FFB Summer Series, don't worry! I'll have whatever was left from the release on my web store soon! Be sure to watch my twitter and facebook to be the first to know! Cya.
