In Bank We Trust

I have this habit; whenever I go out, I tend not to stay at places for an extended period of time. Meaning I pop my head in, check things out, say what’s up, and then I make my exit, typically before it’s really time to leave (yeah, I’m that guy). Last week, I had a dinner meeting with our bankers. We’ve been planning this for a minute, so I didn’t want to do my typical exit, stage right move. The cool thing is that it was an overall good time. Say what’s up to Doug ,Wes and Kevin. Doug’s my right hand man when it comes to #’s and Ops (we met at school eons ago when he was “helping” me in stats class). Wes and Kevin are our so-called bank guys. They are actually the top dogs and not your typical face-only dudes. Yeah, I know, why the hell would I post something like this? Well, cuz being independent for 17 years requires the team work of a lot of different people, including these guys. Sometimes it’s not only what’s on fire at the next limited drop or who has the best kicks, it’s also making sure that you’re a good business partner. I can’t tell which bank Wes and Kevin are from, but let’s just say that it’s one of the best standing ones out there, not to mention they probably work with the brands you already love.



Since I just got the new iphone, I was screwing around with some apps. You know your bankers are down with you when they try the IPEE DRUNK app. Kevin showing how it’s done.
