Old(er) Photos

Just sifting through some old photos Dave and myself uploaded on the shop computer. I figured that some of you may get a kick out of the last year and a half or so of our lives. So, here it is, in no particular order!

I'll do my best to explain some of which that is happening in these pictures, but most of it was a blur back then and remains so to this day.

Fice, 4Loko and me on David's 28th Birthday!

Dave didn't take this picture, but I want everyone to know that there is
NO COUNTRY FOR THE PUKESTER!
In a perfect world, just some whiskey and a gun.

Ask how well walking through the mall at midnight dressed like this and carrying a stick works out.
Masumi!
Here is a VERY RARE photo of me helping out with loading at an Ill Intent show in November.
Construction continues!
No one can explain this one. We do know that it was from the Das Racist show at Chop Suey in November. Jen, Fice, Dave and Ian
This may be the reason the previous photo was a mystery
(take note, all 4loko related pictures were of the OLD formula. We don't touch that new stuff)
Loko 4 Life!
Noticing a trend?
Just Rashaad and a semi automatic machine gun. No big deal.
Humble beginning. The building starts.

My 29th birthday in St. Louis.
And, I think we get the point by now.

If you haven't already formed your opinion about us, you're probably doing so now and I'm alright with that. The Last year and half of my life has been a lot of fun. A lot of ups and downs and I definitely wouldn't change a thing. From working hard on tearing down the old shop, building the new store, touring, partying and everything in between untill now. I hope you enjoyed.
