"Better late than never."
Being late, though, sometimes, is probably just about as good as never.
Or at least this was the basic message behind a phone call stating that if the booth wasn't entirely set up by day zero,
Holy Stitch might as well stay home. One on-the-spot-decision later from the man in charge, and we were pulling the "ejektor seat" latch on our scheduled flight and loading up half of
mr. hackman's life into a u-haul, and shipping out to vegas first thing saturday. Angels guided us our entire trip. The angels of . . . fashion?

here's Billy, the Chinese God of precision and efficiency, loading the sewing machines |

10 hours later we were filling the tank on this puppy one last time before vegas baby. unfortunatley, i kept leaving HB in the u-haul, so our entire road trip gets summed in a gas station parking lot. |
|
here's our booth set-up in all its' glory. Holy Stitch All Day:) |
|
Kriss Nekk and Waylyn through down on a nice arrangement in the front of the booth.
Holy Stitch! just gained 20 HP points. |
|
I tip my hat to the clever individual(s) who thought this set-up-up. |
|
outer vegas or somethin. cutty japanese spot. that's right. our shoes are not on in this restaurant. |
|
but i could still smell feet? ahhhh just joshin' ya. food was dopamine:) |
|
Krisss. how lame would you feel in your dumb corvette if you rolled up next to this steezy kat at his typewriter? ARS Steeze.. Project 10 |
|
Loot from the show:) |
|
The Brooklyn Circus hosted Project 10, & their booth was right next to Holy Stitch. This is some of their steezy gear. They have a store in SF, NY, and also distribute in Japan. |
|
My man Bernard James. What can I say? This is straight sophisti-steeze. |
|
Bernard James' beautiful jewelry and old war set-up. this young man is definitely making it happen. |
|
i like the way Nchimunya from BKC dresses... a meticulously arranged still life of fabric. And she makes it looks easy too, huh. |
|
Shoes Shoes Shoes. 3 points for the "sock game" on the left. |
|
Denim heads unite! This is basically the same scientists that created the the steam engine, reincarnated as denim teknicians. They have a secret society deep within the indigo caves of Atlantis.
Oh yea! This photo is also special because it is a clear shot of a Waylyn in his natural habitat... you can just feel the Waylyn Zone here.. a suprime specimen really... just catching a real photographer in his truest environment this way--These are the moments Humble Beginnings strives to capture; and succeeds. |
|
Awesome people laugh more. Some of them just so happen to also be very intelligent and well-dressed. Here is a prime example of what it feels like to have the future blowing in your face when you've got tricks under your beard. |
|
Bernard James and Waylyn giving a class on class. |
|
a few of BKC's display items that help set the tone of their brand, i suppose. or at least represent it enough to sit with their premium quality gear. |
|
Shows over. what was the show called though? Project 10. workroom. some pictures tell a thousand words. really in this picture i only focused on two. But hey that's what HB is all about. One step at a time, no what I mean? |
|
Assertive-Napping Steeze. haha. I think he's saying "Humble Beginnings! YOU $*@^# ROCK! or you might one day! ARGGHH YOU SURE DO SHOW ALOT OF POTENTIAL THOUGH!" |
|
Who needs actual words when you can find one pseudo-word and just wok away with it? |
|
U-Return right before the airport
|
Waylyn displays "Paparazzi Vagabond Steeze" |
|
|
back to SF. the tribal look reminds me of my other home. |
|
recharge time. linguisa+eggplant+capers+feta cheese |
|
variety is the spice of life, no? a little bit of everything.. |
|
hows that pyramid ring on Krisss'sss ... he scored it at a han cholo after-party good thymes. |
what can i say? thanks to the universe for the opportunity to live these events, and the ability to record it, and friends to read it. HB, signing out. peace out, y'all!
Ello mista bonka!
