Addicted 2 Sneakers 12/22/12

On Saturday December 22, there's an event that is sure to be interesting, Addicted 2 Sneakers Sneaker Expo. As some of you may know, I participated in their first event this past June which was cool, but now it should definitely be much larger. First, it's now at the Palisades Mall in Rockland County, which  is supposedly the 10th biggest mall on the East Coast. Even if it's not, it's a big mall and you can get more of your last minute Christmas shopping after the event. The event is located on the 4th floor inside the comedy club, Levity Live. I was shocked they had it there, but it's a nice place and hopefully after a good day I'll kick back and watch the headliner for that evening tell some jokes. This event should attract a much larger amount of people this time around and I'm looking forward to this event. Who knows who'll stop by and what will be there, but it's going to be an awesome event. I hope to see you there.

Sneaker Con D.C. Recap

What's going on?! Since you can't respond back, I'll assume your day is going smooth. It's a late recap, but here it is and with pictures! Sneaker Con D.C. came around and it was time to continue expanding Branded Baron in different locations. I decided to head down to D.C. with Anderson of Bluu Dreams, whom I've known for a couple years and bounced design and business ideas off of. All I know is I was excited for Sneaker Con D.C. to happen, because leading up to it there was nothing but issues that started with me checking in at the hotel with a very bitchy front desk worker to not having 1 piece for my clothing rack where I could not use it.


I requested that the Branded Baron and Bluu Dreams tables were next to each other, because we may have to help each other during the event and it turned out we did. Alan of Sneaker Con always hooks me up at a nice location at the events and big THANK YOU goes out to him. Sneaker Con always gets packed and D.C. was huge. I was very happy that it was at a larger location this year than it was last year. I was so busy during the day that I did not have the chance walk around and scope out the other vendors. It was a success overall and I'm very thankful for everyone that came by chatted up with me and supported Branded Baron. I did have fun, which is very important to me and it didn't hurt that people picked up some shirts.

Enjoy the pictures below.

This is me taking picture of Anderson as hes taking a picture of me taking a picture of Anderson.(Yea, I stole his line from his recap, but took out my name and replaced it with his.)

One of the other vendors came by and picked up the button pack. Supporting each other is a positive indeed.

Not Yo Mama's Craft Fair '11 Recap

Hey Everyone! This past Saturday I was the 3rd annual Not Yo Mama's Craft Fair in downtown Jersey City. I liked the turnout last year and knew that I had to do it again this year. It was great to see that this event was larger and outdoors on a nice summer day. They had music performances,  good food, beer, and great vendors. I have to say that everyone lucked out with the weather being nice, because it was supposed to be ugly.

That day I was all alone and was unable to have any fellow Branded Baron supporters come through to help me sell. It happens, but luckily my friend Anderson of Bluu Dreams was near my tent, so I can occasionally chit chat, during any slow periods of the day with him and his fellow helpers. Also, I made sure I treasured any conversations I had with whoever stopped by the table. I do enjoy talking about the brand, informing people about it, and cracking jokes and making sure you leave the table happy.

The day started off a bit slow in the beginning of the day, but people came by checked out the stuff and bought. It wasn't until early evening/late afternoon where it got packed. One downside of being by yourself at an event like this is if you're hit with a bunch of people, it's hard dealing with everyone at the same time. I don't like to make people wait, but I'm glad everyone was patient and they left with some good Branded Baron items. It was good to see some previous customers come by and buy something new. One previous cusotmer came by on his bicycle with his son in bicycle seat basket( I have no idea what to call it, I've never seen it before, but thought it was cool), and he was unsure what tee to get and let his son choose the color. Cases like those I feel like I should have children size tees. I also met some pretty cool people that came by, like a couple that really loved my stickers to another that felt the designs strongly related to them and bought the last tee I had left in those styles. It was also great to see people I haven't seen since high school.

I personally had a real good time and I think you would've been able to see that, not saying that I don't always have a good time. Some shirts are sold out, so if there's a tee you want grab it, because I know I will not be reprinting the shirts. I'm sorry I couldn't get more pictures of the event, but I tried to get what I can and take photos of those who let me show they are now Branded Baron. Take a looksie.

It was really cool, because he wore this t-shirt after he bought it.

 

Early in the day.

 

She really loved this color and the design, which made me feel really good when I heard the compliments. I know she was contemplating whether to buy it or not for awhile, but I know she was happy with her purchase.

He and his girlfriend(below) were very cool people. They really liked the t-shirts. He got hooked up with the matching poster. Yea, they're both stunningly fresh!

 

 

They're stunningly fresh! I hooked them up with a bunch of stickers. I try to hook it up.
