FFB WORKSHOP RECAP
Last Thursday at We Are 1976, it was AMAZING to see a full house on hand to hear me speak about my brand and how you could start your own brand.
To start a wild night off, I got up on stage and my mind went TOTALLY blank! After about the longest 30 seconds of my life, I took a deep breathe, gathered up my thoughts and just did my thing. After my presentation and constant tip of nose scratching, I made it through to hear a roaring applause! And the feeling was INCREDIBLE!
Afterwards, I met and chatted with MANY new (and old) friends and fans!
Khalid is a SUPER talented guy! I checked out a book of his art and it blew my mind! But man, I sure wish the website that was on his business card would work so that I could prove to you guys that I'm not lying!
Brian is a new FFB fan! He made the drive out from Denton to hear me speak AND to talk about Jordans.
Support from OG FFB fans! Shogun San and Ericka! It wouldn't be an FFB event without Ericka!
Hoonie and Darren from Adikt came out to show the support and the new iPhone 4! Watch for a special something I'm brewing up with Adikt in the coming weeks!
Brian was pumped after my presentation to get his brand, BASIIK up and running even more! Check it out, it's great stuff! Oh and that's Vi who's next to him. She's pretty cool. Check out this text conversation I had with her yesterday HERE.
Everyone who registered for the workshop got a free FFB Goodie Bag filled with alot of cool shit. Two bags had a coupon for a FREE FFB shirt! All you had to do was look for me after my presentation, the guy below did just that...
These are my new friends, Shleton and Khaleyah. They drove 3 hours from Houston just to see me speak! I was EXTREMELY flattered, so I made sure they stuck around so that I could treat them to dinner afterwards. These two lovers were so gracious and humble! They told me that they learned alot from my presentation and that they were going to use my info to take their brand, RICH GHETTO KIDS to new heights! Check out their line HERE!
I was constantly nervous, but good thing my family was there to support me. Whenever I was feeling lost, I looked straight to the back of the room at my cousin, Vy. Just knowing that she was back there with an attentative ear and constant smile on her face made me feel so much more comfortable. Oh and that guy next to Vy is my future cousin-in-law, Kobe. He's an alright guy. Read our text conversation about Toy Story 3 HERE.
The lucky guy in the middle is Reece. He kept the place loose all night with drinks, drinks and more drinks! My friends Sugarlush provided MEGA TASTEY cupcakes and vitamin water provided us with non-alchoholic refreshment! THANKS REECE! THANKS SUGARLUSH and THANKS VITAMIN WATER!
NO WAY this workshop could've happened without the help of my friends - Derek, Vynsie and Jully aka WE ARE 1976! These people are probably some of the best / easiest people I've EVER worked with. The communication and set up was perfection! We Are 1976 promotes and stimulates the D/FW art / design scene like no other shop around town! I KNOW for a fact that we'll be working together again someday. In the meantime, I'll be swinging by every now and then for fried chicken and sandwich lunches! *HI-FIVE*
And of course...THANKS to YOU for coming out and enduring the 1.5+ hour bombardment of F and SHIT bombs! I got MANY responses from motivated and inspired people after the presentation, here are a few of my favs...
"THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!"
