SELA - Opening party
-
NVM dont wanna hijack the thread

I had an absolute blast! My neck is a bit sore from talking to the legion of IH followers that stuffed SELA last night. What a great band, too. I was so happy to finally meet Haraki san, Ayumi (I could be convinced to run away from home…), Giles, Denim Sailor (and his awesome Pelican case), Landon (GO GIANTS!!!), and the most charming person of all--Paula (I could be convinced to run away from home!). Giles is a very fortunate man. Kiya was so accommodating and mellow, despite the masses. I'm planning a trip to SESF very soon.
Next meetup is AERO/IH next Fall--see you there!Asp

From looking at that crowd, it would have eaten me alive… i really do not do well in situations like that, as harmless as they really are. Almost a phobia sometimes. If anyone close to SELA ever wants to have mini hang outs... go out for drinks get a bite to eat shoot the shit etc then i am most likely down
-
Apart from the IH crew, what representatives of other brands distributed by SE were at the party?
-
Mrs G, Haraki, Ayumi and I were fortunate enough to be invited for a few glasses of champagne at Malibuboys "slum" in (guess where?), Malibu. Here are Haraki and Ayumi on one of the many balcony's waiting for a break in the clouds so they can spot the Pacific 1300 feet below.
Malibuboy - THANKS….G

Well Christophe (Mr Freedom) was there (but he's French, so doesn't count
;D). Apart from that Nada, Zippo, Zero - only IH goes the extra mile….GShit, you woulda thought they all would have been at that thing. There is not a lot of stores like SE in LA, let alone in Cali, let alone in the world (except Japan and their own branches and BIG)…
IH for life (should be tattooed with gothic letters)

^ You guys are funny. I'm as social retarded as anyone (ask the people who met me) but I still went by myself. G is cool as f*ck, Mrs. G is the sweetest and tolerant of my children talk, Haraki-san has swag for miles & Lando is… well, getting a bit chubby (just don't tell him I said that)...
Now I have G & Lando to blame for eyeing the IHSI-02...
-
All the antisocial people should have gone together… haha
Next meetup for sure.
