I go to a mall one time a year; right before Christmas to buy gifts.  But this year, I went to 20 different malls between October and December.

Ugg Australia sent me on a 20-city tour to customize Ugg boots in Nordstrom stores.  I’ve been to Seattle, San Francisco, Sacramento, Los Angeles, San Diego and even Las Vegas.

MY MISSION: To make people happy by painting art on their boots.

Here’s what I learned about humanity through it all:

exhibit-case-at-surf-expoIt was a crazy busy 3 days at Surf Expo. We had 3 different events happening, and I have to admit, it was overly ambitious.

When we arrived, we expected the usual hustle getting set up. Instead, we got absolute ROCK STAR treatment from the Surf Expo people, and it was so easy setting up.

We are grateful to Roy Turner, Vicki Vasil, Josh and the rest of Surf Expo team for making us feel like royalty. I could get used to (more…)

up-open-drew-demoThe Hurley U.S. Open of Surfing was crazy, as usual.

When I say Crazy, I mean, tons of almost-naked girls walking around, tatted up bodies everywhere and just plain old debauchery!

But, we had one mission there, and that was to show an audience at the Sacred Craft Booth how easily you can dress up your surfboard with spray paints and paint pens.

Somehow, Drew got roped into painting flowers on girls, and after about the 4th one, I had to put a stop to it because they were lining up!  (We were thirsty, we would have been there all day….)

Girls lining up for Drew to paint on them!

Afterwards, we gave out about 100 of our $18.00 art prints and stickers and Drew signed autographs and was interviewed by a t.v. crew.

The weather was hot, so an ice cold beer at Surfline.com’s party afterwards was greatly appreciated!

See you next year, U.S. Open!
