KID AT HEART November 30 2008
I detached myself from work yesterday and had a highly enjoyable afternoon in Orange County.
MANNY November 29 2008 CA Team & Fashion
Our friend Gerard has been wanting us to meet Manny Paquiao for a while now. He happens to train at the same place the Pacman trains when he's preparing for a fight here in the US. He lets us in on some events like the one we finally went to on Saturday. See, Gerard fueled our guerilla marketing fire and encouraged us to give CA shirts to Manny that afternoon. He even gave us a tip - Manny has gained some weight (watch out, de la Hoya) and is now a size large.We made our way to the Wildcard gym in Hollywood not knowing what to expect other than a bunch of Filipinos going gaga over the motherland's national hero. Though that is exactly what we saw while waiting in line, it was nice to experience the strong sense of community packed in such a small parking lot. Whether you were black, white, or brown, everyone raised their voice to chant "Manny, Manny!!"
Manny got the Love, Life, Hope t-shirt, and we got our guerilla marketing fire burning.
3 DAY TOUR November 29 2008
eLa from Seattle was briefly in town for the holiday. Just to remind you, eLa digs on poetics and is also our marketing person in her region. If you check out her spoken word events, you'll likely see other performers wearing CA. Before I dropped her off at the bus station, we picked up chicken empandas for her bus ride and then had lunch at our favorite Thai spot.
See you in a couple weeks.
