There's a little bit of my cell phone edit mixed in with HiDefJoe's recap of the release here. I got a note in to Black Dave asking if we can use these tracks from his bagin' mixtape he just dropped, but I haven't heard back yet. Hope that's ok Dave. We'll get it changed right away if not. You need to get Black Dave's mixtape right here. Dave is killing it on the skateboard and off.

We were sweating when the shoes and the boxes still weren't here on Wednesday, but everything came together Thursday and on Friday night, we ran our Innetech assembly line to put together all the boxes.

From the front of the line it looked like there were a bunch of bums in line.

I was lucky enough to sleep in my bed last night. Got there this morning to find this line, good and lively, many of which slept in their cars.

Mr Fashion Police showed up with a blatant violation. He's about 20 years too young to be having rabbit ears touching the ground like that. Lookin' like a wedding dress trail or something. When you do it on purpose somehow it almost makes it cool.

Shoe bum number four in line was this dude Ray. He lurks my neighborhood on the regular and is a super nice dude. I've had many slumped over drunk conversations with him at The Hub. He refers to me as "skateboard guy." Funny he ended up being in line here for two days.

A lot of people who got the loop postcard in their box were getting them signed by Schaefer. There were 20 different postcards in the boxes, most of which had stamps and the SPoT address on them. Write us a note about the release and drop it in the mail, please!
