So it's been a crazy week over here at Five Four. We've had a few visitors, some magical events and been all over the media.
First, my friend just returned from playing pro volleyball overseas. He is Brook Billings, he was part of the U.S. Mens Volleyball team. He played over in Greece during the '04 Olympics. We went to USC together, he's been in town for practice w/the US team. Haven't seen him in awhile, it was good catching up w/him.
We both exchanged some product, I gave him the new fall Five Four gear and he gave me a US team jersey, it was pretty dope. As you can see he is really tall, this jersey was like a mile long...
Another fellow Trojan sent Dee and I autographed balls...you may know him as the Heisman and best new quarterback in football...Carsonnnnnn
Also, I got a jersey sent to me from Timmy Howard's agent. He is the goalie for the US Soccer team and plays in the Premier League for Manchester United.
On another note, our fall campaign just hit the following magazines; Complex, Flaunt, 944 and Vapors, check it out.
I had the pleasure of going to dinner the other night w/some friends that brought along super magician Keith Barry. He had a special on CBS a few months ago. We ate one of the best sushi meals I've had in a long time at this restaurant called Sushi Wa. The next night, we went to go check out his show at the Roosevelt Hotel...it was pretty insane. Definitely check him out.
I've got a 7am flight to San Francisco for some meetings, then coming back at night. I think I have to be at the airport like at 5am, I hear you can't even bring water to the plane...water! What is this damn world coming to. I think at this point it makes more sense to drive to San Fran, anyways...I should leave the office now since my flight is in a few hours. Next week is the last week before the big show...MAGIC Show Las Vegas. Five Four is about to make a huge splash there again...can't wait.
