New York Trip Feb 08

A day after I arrived home in LA I headed to New York on a red Eye to help my Brother with Sales at the Trade Show for his business Bangkok Imports. I designed about 25% of the product line so I am very familiar with the products and I love Selling and I love NY. Any excuse to make a trip out to NY is ok with me. The only thing I hated about the trip was the weather because it was cold as shit.

The first day I arrived I ran around with my buddy Devin and took in the city sights on a double decker tour bus which was a first for me in NY. We went to China Town, Little Italy, and saw tons of other cool stuff.

The nest couple days I sold my ass off at the Show and hung out at night with friends from the show and I had a close friend come visit me from Boston too which was great. One of my brothers friends had a sick penthouse in Tribecca and we pre-partied a little bit at his pad one night and he had the cutest lil Dog I've ever seen named "Bear". I am not usually a big fan of small dogs but this little dude was awesome, not sure exactly what he was but he was full of life and spunky but not annoying. He would come over like a cat and just chillout with you and let you pet him. It really made me want one but it wouldn't be fair to it because I travel too much and wouldn't feel right leaving a dog with people while I run around the world traveling.

-Super Bowl Party-

Me, my Bro and a few others went to a cool Bar in Grenich Village for a Super Bowl party. It was all you can drink and eat for $50. We got trashed and watched the Giants beat the undefeated Pats in NY of all places. The streets were crazy afterwards and everyone was celebrating in the city. Good Times


-NY Knicks vs LA Clippers-

My buddy Devin bought us tickets to see the Knicks play my home town LA Clipps at the world famous "Madison Sq Garden". It was my first time at the Garden and was a blast. My brother had a ticket but couldn't go as it was the last day of the Trade Show and he had to start Breaking down. The seats weren't great but the game was because the Clipps won. It was a little weird and acqward cheering for the clipps by myself and I had a lot of angry NY fans mad dog me too. Both teams are kinda crappy this year but LA pulled it off.

All in all this NY trip was a lot of fun
