What is Michael thinking? Why so many luggages for just a week...


We had to stop by a gas station in the middle of nowhere to switch sleepy drivers. It was funny though...

MAJOR--NEW RELEASES FOOTY

major2-10-07.jpg

Okay, so I was browsing through videos on Youtube a week ago and came across this footy from the dudes over at MAJOR in Washington DC. First off, the footy is hilarious and I must say, a brilliant way to market the new gear that they get in weekly! Secondly, if for some odd reason you haven't heard of MAJOR, then you need to call them (202.625.6732), get their address, jump in your car and go peep out the store! What are you waiting for…GO NOW!

BLACK IS BACK

So the Animal Chan, aka Paul from SGV, decided to scour the whole Magic Show and ask what everyone's favorite color was. Surprisingly, about 80% of the answers were in favor of BLACK. All in all, pretty random, but check the video anyways!

Just a few side notes before you watch the Animal Chan's newest video--(1) a brand-new site is in the works and will be up and running pretty soon, (2) our Stores section is updated with new stores from all over the world, and (3) our Spring Delivery 2 is about to be released, so be on the look out!

SAN DIEGO. GERMAN FOR A WHALE'S...

nicktuckercover.jpg

So anytime I see or think of anything from San Diego, I always bust up laughing thinking about Will Ferrell in Anchorman... "San Diaaago, German for a whale's vagina". Oh where do people think of characters like Ron Burgundy? GENIUS, I tell ya! Ayways, Vitalskate, an online community for skaters, just released an interview with San Diego native and newest Orisue team rider, Nick Tucker. The interview is a great read, but not close to as entertaining as Nick's skate footy, which can also be found on Vitalskate. For only being 16 years old, Nick is making a big name for himself and definitely holding down SD!

THE FRIDAY BEFORE MAGIC TRADE SHOW

Fridays are usually always laid back and fun... But this Friday was a little overwhelming because we are being hit with a trade show this coming Monday in Las Vegas. Everyone had their own task to accomplish before heading out to the show, especially the design team... We're almost done with Holiday 2007 already!


Allen thrusted his way through to bother our design team


So did Wally, Nick, Mike, and David... We recently put up a black curtain to notify that we don't want to be bothered, but its not really working... A new bigger office with a physical hard door is in progress for the design team ( ; Yay! Relocating rocks! Not...


Even Alval (HomeRoom) came through too! Alval and his crew will be exhibiting at a different trade show this year called United. From the previews that Alval showed us, looks like HomeRoom is going to have a mghty year


It has always been a tradition for Bill, our project manager to show our new interns and designers around the office. This time he's showing our new designer Isabel the ropes of Orisue


Look! She's already hard at work! Well, our whole design team too...


Bill cranking out some dope patterns


Diane editing Michael's "WILL NOT SELL" colorways hahaha


Our new intern designer Izzy on the cuts. Wow, already on the grind on the first day!

UPS WORK ON SATURDAYS?

Wait, that is never unheard of... Just kidding. We're working very hard around the clock to get the shipments out to our stores. So that means... by sometime early next week the stores should be stocking our goods on their shelves! Yee!

Thanks to our two new interns, Michael (Allen's brother) and David for assisting Wally with the shipments on a Saturday. Good looks!
