For starters, my night the other night after writing the Day 2 blog ended up being awesome, because my friends Noah and Kim from last year who now live in CA, decided on a spur of the moment trip down to visit me, since they live more in the Orange County area. The three of us went around welcoming to CA by taking me In N' Out Burger, which was amazing, and then we made it down the the beach so I could touch the Pacific Ocean for the first time. Below is the epic meal I had from In N' Out Burger to give you an idea of how amazing it really is.
After the night of hanging with old friends, they gave me a ride to the convention center in the morning for day two of the ASR Trade Expo. Today was full of more of the same, including printing the rest of the hats for all the visiters to the booth, along with some more wandering around and seeing what the rest of the show has to offer. Today Matt had brought his skateboard, so I took a couple pictures of some of the ramps and parks that were built inside just for the show.This first one is the sick ramp set up near the ridiculous paradise-themed Volcom booth. They had some open sessions where anyone could come skate, as well as some contests and demos throughout the day.
This next one is the skate park set-up in the back corner of the show by a company called Office Booys. I'm not exactly sure what they do, but they had contest throught the weekend as well.
During the show, Matt and I got a flyer about a double feature snowboard movie premiere, the new Standard Films movie Black Winter, and Forum's new video Forever. Matt and I sat front row center and unfortunately this is the only picture I got from the movie.
The videos were really good, a bit more powder riding than I like to see in a video but still pretty awesome. Plus it was sponsored by Monster Energy Drinks, so they were giving them out for free at the show.Afterwards we met up with Matt's friends from SDSU and hung out with them for the night, then got up nice and early again for the tradeshows' last day.
We got there at 8am to prepare the booth again, but the show only ran from 9am to 2pm today, since most buyers had already seen everything they needed to during the busy days. Since today was so slow, since we had printed all the hats, Matt and I did a lot more wandering and got a ton more free stuff, including stickers, drink cozies, posters, and a autographed Reef Girls calender as you can see in this picture.
So now I am currently laying low in my hotel tonight on the count of the fact that I am exhausted, but I had an amazing time here in San Diego and cannot wait for the next tradeshow to roll around. I'll let you know how the trip back to boat goes but for now I am going to go grub out and pass out early. Peace.
