Spent a sweet weekend in Portland a bit ago. Saw a great friend of ours Michelle, wow another Michelle, I guess GirlRider likes Michelle. And man did she look hot in my GirlRider Rogue Inside Out Tee!
Portland is a fantastic town, lots of fashion, bikes and beer. Also figured out why its the "grunge capital" everything is down home, a little rough around the edges, just like we like it. We did it all but mostly hung around and tried to spread the GirlRider vibe. Made it to a really cool all womens athletic store called Signal Sports. The owners were this amazing couple Alan and Sig who just have this mellow down to earth vibe about them. Needless to say, this is exactly the kind of place we want to sell GirlRider into. So much of our success is dependent on having the right kind of retailer representing the brand, and Signal Sports is our kind of store.
I was knocked out when I saw this pic of my smokin hot wife wearing this new GirlRider bucket hat. I just got them embroidered, it was a pain in the ass. I had to manually lock these hats into a super tight fitting loop and figure out how to use the Tagima machine, POC.
Anyway, back to Portland, met this cool cat named Alex Bravo, he owns a wicked salon called WACK and put some of my stuff up to show during a CNET interview. Don't know how much exposure I got but I tried and he was a strange and interesting fellow to say the least. But we liked Alex Bravo and hope to do something with his kickin salon at the hot spot in Portland called the Jupiter Hotel. The service sucked but the Bloodies were excellent. Either way, the place is cool, after parties and shows, they open the rooms up at discounted prices, they all have condoms in the ash trays...L8tr kids.
It was GREAT to have the Myerhoffs in P-town! You guys are one of the few Californians I'd be thrilled to let into our glorious city. Come back soon ... and in the meantime, I'll be sportin' Girlrider in your honor!
