Like I mentioned in a previous post, I’m finally getting around to my trip to Vegas.
I went for a couple of reasons: See the Magic/Project show, do some work for the agency, and lose money I don’t have over the stupid color red.

1. On the floor at Project 08 2. the Rowdy booth… gotta say I like it

I gotta say the Magic show was super empty this time around… The usual street wear brands were around doing their thing, but was it just me or did it seem to be half the size of what it was last year?

1. This dood is sporting the first clothing line I ever loved - T&C Surf Designs!!! 2. Ladies and gentlemen: Jon Phenom. BTW, have you guys ever seen his business card? dope.

The Project show if anything seemed to pick up for the missing numbers at Magic. I heard that Project would limit this fall’s show by 1/3rd come spring… so this may be the biggest Project show ever!

Afterward I took a gazillion pictures of the madness that followed… but of course all those pictures accidentally got erased… the prized picture being that of my meeting with Bobby Brown!!! Damn damn damn.

Check it out. Jon Phenom, designer extraordinare, has kicked off ‘08 with his new webshow, HAY FAM, where he interviews his friends and colleagues from the fashion world and related industries. He interviews risk-takers and innovators who have shaped and created lifestyles for others. You’ll even spot a fellow FR*A blogger in one of the episodes!

Check out the trailer:

And check out the first episode with the one and only Mr. Kim of Evil Monito.
Can you spot the FR*A brand in the vid?

So far I’ve watched all the episodes up on the site and I’m definitely looking forward to seeing more. Good stuff, Jon. Keep it coming.
