Custom Light Up Shoes and 1 of a Kind Hand Painted Customized Sneakers

The adventure the four of us embarked on this day was nothing like we'd expected. I hope that was a good attention getting intro sentence, because I really do not know what we had expected. The plan was to go to the Golden Gate Bridge. We eventually made our way out to rent some bicycles to bike across the bridge from Blazing Saddles. This was a great choice of entertainment that I would recommend to anyone that is in the least bit of living shape....say you can wake up and walk around all day without needing to go to the hospital...you should survive. The next day I did kinda feel it in my quads but that's a feeling of accomplishment. After crossing the bridge I had to turn right back around and forego the rest of the ride to Sausalito and the ferry ride back with my three comrades. The reason being one of my most important things to do on the trip.

After returning my bicycle I met up with Peter from MYX TV around 5p.m. Despite an unwanted wait in traffic we eventually made it to the MYX headquarters at ABS CBNI Global around 6:30. The reason for this meet up was to do an interview about custom shoes for a future television show about sneaker culture. I will say it was and will be an honor to even be mentioned with some of the other names that will be appearing on the show. Check back around October for more info.

After Peter found out I had not eaten lunch or anything much all day he insisted on taking me somewhere to eat before he took me back to the hotel. I tried to insist that I was fine and he need not to buy my dinner but I'm glad he did not waiver. We ended up at a little Hawaiian BBQ place that I'll have a hard time trying to find something simliar here back home, but will have to. I had a BBQ plate with a few different meats: chicken, steak, and ribs. But Peter had what could be one of my new favorites, Loco Moco: broiled hamburger patty, topped with two eggs over easy and gravy.....OMG..... I'll probably have to start making my own since no place around here could even imagine creating such a delectable meal. As you know by now I'm a poor photographer and did not take photos of the food....I'm just gonna start taking snaps of every meal so it becomes a habit. BIG thanks to Peter for the interview, ride, and dinner. Definitely something that not just anyone visiting SF could plan which made the trip even greater.

The night ended with a little Italian meal at Uncle Vito's Pizzadelli and a few drinks at another hotel listening to some live jazz and a couple funny stories from the bartender that became jokes the rest of the trip. And way too expensive Crown and Cokes.

One of many Golden Gate photos.....I'll put them all up here at the conclusion.

Unfortunately these kinda signs are necessary.

ABS CBN front desk.

This was the desk of Jesse Hernandez a vinyl toy designer and overall dope artist. Jesse is the art director and host for a couple shows apart of ABS CBN programming. One of which is Vinyl Addiction. The high quality of this show makes me even more excited about how good the sneaker show will be. Check out all his work through his freelance site: Immortal Studios. We only spent a minute being introduced by Peter, exchanging business cards, showing off my shoes but when I said I was from Kansas City he asked if I knew fellow vinyl toy designer, artist, and friend MAD. I could only say I knew of him but I recognized the same camaraderie that I have with other sneaker customizers. That was cool.

The hot seat the interview took place sans a few sneakers that'll be in the background.

Up next: well after day 3 comes 4, duh. Anyone else even use the word "duh" anymore?
