The business/pleasure of skate shop ownership has its rewards, especially when trade show time comes around and its been raining in Portland for weeks. What to do? Assemble a crew , fly a budget airline, sleep on floors, starve, stink, and shred life to the fullest in sunny San Diego - and call it a "write off". That's exactly what Shrunken Head did last week for Blackbox's Crossroads trade show.
The highlights of our quick 4 day jaunt didn't occur at the show itself, but Xeno had never been to San Diego OR a trade show, so Big Z gets the first installment...plus, here the IRS can see evidence of our "business trip".
Willis , Weller & Xeno scope the free mags at Crossroads.
Xeno's JIVARO ad spotted in new LOWCARD. UUUNNNNNHHHH!!!!
Feeling guilty for not skating, Xeno ascends the killer set two steps at a time.
"Game face Big Z. Game face Big Z. Game face Big Z...."
King of the groms, Xeno reps the shit. Louie Lopez: "What wheels you ride?"
Xeno Miller: "JIVARO twerp!"
Big Z unwinds after the show with his California Dreams designer cigs.
