Village People

We got offered a free booth (thanks Leon) at the Modefabriek, the only real 'fashion' tradeshow in Holland. Well not on the show itself but outside in 'The Village'. I don't know if you've been outside Sunday or Monday, but we've been burning in the hot sun for two days. Besides that drinking beers and talking to people. Life's tough.

Barcelona day 1

So fuck it's been a while, but here I finally am again. 
With my laptop crashing, tradeshow season and Jesse going on vacation in one of the busiest periods of the season I didn't have enough time or opportunities to blog I am very sorry, alright?
Well let start of with the Bread & Butter in Barcelona. Me and Jesse were sharing an apartment in the prostitute area with fat Peter (Frisco) Remco (Ontour) and G-G-Gio (Re-Issue). Which equals fun and a high level of streetwear knowledge (YAWN!). 


First night me and Jesse had to go to the Sixpack sales meetig, which they held on the roof-terrace of their penthouse, nice! Fucking nice collection, you'll see it in half a year haha. Utopia!


When we were supposed to meet up with Peter and Gio for diner, we ran in to your favourite Fin; Timothy (CTRL). Jesus Christ I can't believe how cool he was looking. Was he always like this or did he turn into a hipster overnight? 


We decided to join him and the rest of the the CTRL crew (Freeman, Esa and their Barcelona hostess) for diner. Bam "the Goth" Margera was sitting next to us and even got up so Gio and Peter could sit. Peter was all starstruck, he even took a picture with him (check his blog). He's now thinking of getting a HIM tattoo


When we were doing serious business on the sales meeting, Peter and Gio went to the Stussy X Boneyard X Neighborhood shop opening and blew all their money on overpriced sneakers and T-shirts. Guess who were paying for beer the rest of the week?


Gio ran into his ex in the middle of the street. For some reason he didn't wanna talk to him and pretended he was passed out.
