Oh man, I just took another nap cuz I was run ragged. We just did back to back shows, these were the first ever direct to consumer shows for GirlRider. It was a huge success!
All told we sold about 200-300 hats between the two shows. Man I spent a couple weeks solid painting these hats by hand, one by one, and they sold fast. Some went for $80, some went for as little as $5 but they all had "the love inside" that makes GirlRider special.
Some of the highlights of the shows were:
- Melissa and Deanna gettin ready to run, they got matching hats with Avon Breast Cancer logos.
- VIDEO OF MC "Fashion pants" who threw down dome wicked rap song for us, on the spot!
- Cigarette totin dude from New Orleans who wouldn't take the tag off the hat
- The cutest brother "baby jay" and his sister who bought matching hats for each other, sans parents.
- Spray painting a young guys cast.
- SF Scooter girl Michelle tellin her story
- High powered chef from Jardiniere in SF, only the most incredible food in the world!
- A dude who stepped into my booth and down right begged me to spray paint his shoes on the spot.
- A sweet Korean couple speaking almost no English browsing through my stuff
Just check the photo album x2, all the smiling happy faces and diversity of interesting people. San Francisco is the Most awesome place in the world. Look at all of YOU! Fantastic energetic and filled with life energy that feeds me. The only way I am able to keep trudging along with all this work, trying to build a brand, make a name and do it the right way. Well it comes back with all the support and encouragement provided by my customers and friends.
SO THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO BOUGHT A GIRLRIDER HAT. Leave me a comment if you see your photo, tell me which hat you bought and why you love it.
Here are some quotes about my hats:
"that is dope"
"no way, that rocks"
"those lids are hella sick"
"i got so many compliments on that tweed hat i got, it was crazy!"
"no man, dont take the tag off, I got to leave it on"
