AVNT/GRDE Grand Opening Party!

First off, many congrats to Jabar, Gio, and of course Joe Iggy for getting this going from the ground up. You guys, your friends, and your families have put a lot of work and effort into this the shop and it's been a great learning and growing experience for everyone. Congratulations again.

The day was definitely long, and I apologize to the guests that I wasn't at my normal upbeat speed. Had a long day before the party (pictures up eventually) and I didn't get to recharge. But many thanks to everyone that came out and made it a successful party.

First the setup before the party. I don't know who paid for all this, but damn. Thank you.

The Prologue: a mixtape put together by the Mindzalike crew and DJ Iggz for the AVNT/GRDE Grand Opening. A very dope mix and put together in less than a week!
