Day two at the trade show was hyped and packed to the max. It was time to get down to business and make our rounds. Exile and I were busy posting away as the rest of the boys ran around to DC, Oakley, K2, Rome, and everywhere in between.

Louie Vito knows how to roll around the trade show.

Everybody had finally made it to town after weather issues: Marc Frank, Louie Vito, all the T9 boys, Lauri Heiksari, Iikka Backstrom, Aaron Biittner, the scene was hot and heavy. Towards the late afternoon peeps were raging as far as the eye could see.

The end of the day Cypress Hill’s DJ Muggs murdered it on the ones and twos in The Yard. To sum this up right now basically no one has slept, I don’t think any of us have been completely sober since we arrived, and the saga continues until tomorrow night. Check back soon.
