The Hawaiiabera travels to Hawai'i

This just in from a recent fan of the University of Texas licensed Hawaiiabera. Thank you Glen for this great shot overlooking the point at which the infamous "Battle of Nu'uanu Pali" took place.

The Finished HAWAIIABERA® Booth

No wonder we won BEST BOOTH, September 2008 at the SurfExpo in Orlando. It was a Killer booth and generated an unbelievable amount of traffic. What do you all think? And yes, it drives GREAT! Aloha Mi Amigos.

Progress on "The Booth"

Is, well, progressing. All body work has been completed so panels are straight and dents removed. Looking nice! The "Bus" is going to be a huge hit for us.

Mr. Jack Black

Heck yes he's a Hawaiiabera fan. Here is Jack Black himself sporting a Hawaiiabera on the red carpet for the premiere of "Orange County". If he thinks they are that cool, then they are. No doubt about it. Thanks Jables!

Next stop, SurfExpo

Well, after MAGIC we were headed to SurfExpo in January of 2008 for our first ever show in Orlando. Now this show is geared more for my line of clothing, catering to the Resort Wear and the Boutique buyers. Same crummy little booth but we wrote more orders and were encouraged in our efforts. The model is my very lovely and super talented wife.

Sneak Peek for 2009 Line!

The new fabrics are on their way and they are going to look stunning. My retailers have all asked for more color so, presto, more color it is! Here is a more "tame" pattern but VERY popular.

Our first show - MAGIC

Our very first show in Las Vegas, Nevada. MAGIC. You have NO IDEA how large this show is. Several square miles and row after row of every item of clothing and manufacturer known to mankind. No joke. Over 130,000 buyers attend this show every single year. It was an amazing experience. We wrote three orders during our first show. Disappointing but predictable. Retailers wants to see you back there a couple of times before they order with you. Part of this VERY EXPENSIVE learning curve. Here is a pic of our crappy little corner of this world. Each square foot of this booth cost $117 each day. That's my little bro' in the pic.
