ANIME EXPO DAY 1

The first day at Anime Expo was a lot better than what most of us had expected on the opening day. Especially, on a Thursday afternoon. They came out in droves...seriously! Anime and Manga fanatics all swarmed the convention before the doors even opened with their costumes, I might add. It was a great day! Not to mention, the Nosey Bastard Trucker hat was "definitely" a popular item of the day! Can't wait for the next 3 days to follow. Also, the 2 scavenger hunts kick off tomorrow!

Below are a few pics to enjoy!

The next two pics do absolutely no justice as to how big the turnout was!

ONWARD TO ANIME EXPO

Don't forget folks, Anime Expo weekend is finally here. In just 2 days, we will be participating in this massive 4 day event at the Los Angeles Convention Center that will start Thurs. (Jul 2nd) and extend all the way out to Sunday (Jul 5th).

2 Scavenger hunts will emerge starting on Friday. A total of 12 prizes will be handed out by us -- which will include various items including our new Nosey Bastard Trucker Hat. Golden tickets similar to Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory will also be handed out! In addition, our close pals from Fat Rabbit Farm will also be joining us and giving away prizes. The other scavenger hunt will be in collaboration with PDFLO -- which will take place by sending out clues from both of our Twitter accounts. In order to participate in this hunt, you need to have a Twitter account and either join ours and or PDFLO's. Film crew will also be onsite. See Flyer below for details. To add to the gamut of prizes, our friends over at Dragatomi have graciously donated some of their designer/vinyl toys as well to giveaway. Therefore, all winners will be...well...hooked up! For all contestants, make sure you bring a camera of some sort since some of the items in the scavenger hunt will need to be photographed! Make sure you see the folks at the show passing out flyers for details. Or, visit our booth #627 or Fat Rabbit Farm at booth#851.

Have a safe trip out to the Expo! Especially those coming from the Bay Area! We'll see you there!

ATTENTION: ALL NOSEY BASTARDS

Introducing a design made specifically for you, "The Nosey Bastard" trucker hat. Not your ordinary trucker, this new lavish headwear piece is equipped with a massive 3D front side embroidery flaunting the Bastard individual with the signature B&F "X" hairstyle accented by another embroidered hit on the side along with a lining that fashionably displays the SF city skyline through the mesh. This hat is finally ready to be rocked to the fullest!

The story behind the concept goes like this:
"Why in the world are there people like this? They never seem to understand that there is an A and B conversation going on. These types of people want to always meddle into topics that they are not even asked to be part of. Is the topic so important that you can’t simply resist what is being talked about? Here comes along that spying nosey Bastard who is always wondering what you’re up to. Peeking and investigating everything that you do with the intent of keeping the juicy gossip to themselves or spreading the news to other souls. I mean c'mon, mind your own business as I'm doing with mine and we'll all get along just fine. Have you experienced the bastard...or are you the bastard!?"

Key Notes and Fun Facts:
* Limited to only 200 pcs.
* Snap back flat brim cap
* Accommodates majority noggin sizes: 7 - 8
* Front 3D embroidery Stitch count 15,800s
* Side embroidery Stitch count 3,000s
* Mesh accented by SF City Skyline on the lining

Rock this hat if: A) You're the Bastard B) You're irritated by these types of people or C) Simply just because
