DQM x GIRL x LAKAI Weekend

Last month we went to NY for a few days for the DQM/Girl/Lakai Collabo release/demo.

Chris Keefe was there at the hotel when we got there to take everyone out. He hooked it up pretty much everywhere we went.

This was the end of a long tour for some of us. Had to recount some planking gone wronghorror stories from the trip to the guys who weren't there. The reaction was typically "What the fuck is planking?".

Next day we went to the shop for a signing before the demo. Product everywhere.

First kid to get a board.

Hung out and signed posters for a while...

Mike is always suspicious.

And Vince finds it pretty funny.

 

While Carroll showed off his new sticker job...

Alex took a break from his busy International Art Star schedule to pitch in for demo duties.

Then we all made the quick skate to 12th and A...

Which almost ended in Raven's early demise. (Speeding, red light-running cab not pictured.) Seriously close call.

 

Saw a lot of these on the way. The street team was busy.

Billy Rohan was holding it down at 12th and A. The demo was great, a lot of kids showed up.

Alex put on a show.

Joey Pepper was there.

So was Jahmal Williams.

Even Matt "it's not Milligan" Willigan showed up.

The Lakai design team was there, trying to look uninterested.

 

Even a Pops sighting!

 

Mike thought he was horizontal right here. Seriously.

 

Ended it with the product toss. When the product ran out I heard a sarcastic "Sick product toss." from the crowd. Perfect ender.
