I moved into the new place yesterday. It's nice to finally be settled somewhere. I did almost rip my thumb nail off yesterday when i went to go pick up my uhaul. It was the weirdest thing. I was walking by this rack of boxes and i sort of knew my hand would hit it as i went by (and this rack had no sharp edges) but as soon as my hand hit it there ( Read more... )

We launched Brociety today. I have to say, for as much as i hated that logo in the beginning, i think the site turned out great. It has a very different feel then our other one-deal-at-a-time sites (whiskey militia, steep and cheap, tramdock, chainlove, and bonktown). My coworker Nick was the one that did the logo and styled the site ( Read more... )

Just found out Backcountry is flying a few coworkers and I down to Vegas 3 weeks from today for SIA. Not sure which hotel we're staying at but i'm stoked! My only Vegas experience was when i was 19 and as a result doesn't really count towards a true Vegas experience.

I get to see all of our vendors winter gear for 2010 early!

My boss informed our department today they we're being flown to San Diego for ASR (Action Sports Retailer) on September 5th. I'm so stoked. All the cool brands that i care about will be showing there. Volcom, RVCA, Vans, American Apparel, Nixon, Quiksilver...brands like that. Should be awesome.

I got my tax stuff back...i owe the state of Illinois exactly $1.00. WTF IS THAT? Why even bother. But of course because i'm a responsible person i'm gonna pay it ( Read more... )

I've been dealing with the worst illness of my life the last few days. I've been stuck in bed since saturday. Friday i just had this random cough then saturday i had a horrible fever and chills and that night trying to sleep was the worst night of my life. I've never been so hot and so cold all at once. Sunday was just as bad, only no fever and ( Read more... )
