February 26: Blends SD Five Year Function @ El Dorado

My weekend was so awesome that I almost forgot about the 3-hour drive down to San Diego (inert grenade found on the 5 Freeway) and the $45.00 parking ticket for parking in the loading zone in front of 5&A Dime (my designated parking spot for the past 3 years).

Blends San Diego was celebrating it's 5th anniversary. It can be tough to stay up in the economy these days, but Blends shows longevity by remaining true to its simple, clean, and creative aesthetic. Congratulations to the entire Blends crew and a special birthday shoutout to Edwin Negado! The turnout was awesome dude.

Props to Brand-EZ for some of these pictures and also birthday boy Guil for snapping some aerial shots. Screw the captions. All you need to know is the following:
-edROC, Julz, and Mark Marcelo providing the jams, TK on the mic
-Mules, Red Stripe, Henn/Jack shots, champagne, and tall Natty Ices
-Shot glasses, pins, and sneaker giveaways courtesy of Blends and Converse
