LA Pride: A Debriefing




LA Pride weekend is a long two days of fun, music, dancing and people. Lots of people. By the end of the weekend we've sold a lot of Teez, met a lot of people and need a foot rub.


Here are some fun facts about our LA Pride weekend!

1. I love the LA County Sheriff's department. Not only were they responsible for our first sales of the weekend (3 'America, Blowing Shit Up Since 1776' and one 'Some Girls Play Dirty' tank top), they also helped us out all weekend long, including finding me a close spot to park my truck during load out. Thanks Deputies.

2. Speaking of the Sheriff's Department, I watched several guarded yellow jump suit wearing prisoners moving some equipment around the festival on Saturday morning. Our tax dollars put to work. Love it.

3. We got another visit from one of our most loyal customers, Kris. Last year she showed us her "Not A Dude" tattoo.  This year she stopped buy to say hi and to pick up another shirt. Thanks Kris. See you next year.

Me and Super Customer, Kris.
4. We broke up a fight! Leah, my lovely assistant for the weekend, saw a fight break out right outside our booth. She jumped into action and broke up the fight (I helped a little) before the Sheriff's department could do anything.  The Deputy thanked her for it. Leah gets the MVP of the weekend.

5. A friendly and fun Aussie bought me a beer. Thanks Georgi! Just saying.

6. Out of the 48 hours of LA Pride weekend, I was at the festival for 29 of them.

7. Our best selling shirt was a tie between "Lipstick Tomboy" tank and "Some Girls Play Dirty" tank, second best was "Lipstick Tomboy" t-shirt and rounding out the top three was our "America, Blowing Shit Up Since 1776" t-shirt.

8. Celebrity sightings for the weekend, Pauley Perrette who plays Abbey on NCIS and... Jesus!
Quick, look busy.
9. We had some awesome neighbors including Underwear Society, Bent-Con and Spare Parts Hard Wear. Check them out!

10. When your booth is set up across from a radio station's tent you witness a lot of impromptu dance parties.
Dance Party!

We meet awesome people every year at Pride and this year was no exception. Thanks LA Pride! See you next year!
