Spindig 09

As you already know, I’m a big fan of people doing their own thing. Good friend, Eric is an example of what I’m talking about. Eric’s history spans quite a bit; starting from being a professional jet skier, to performing at shows at Universal Studios, to “modeling” at who knows where. However about 10 years ago, E had an idea to produce graphical images for his friends in the moto industry. This later spawned to his own gig, Spin imaging, which is a full blown print shop ranging from large format to sublimated products and more particularly, vehicle wrapping. I’m not just referring to murdered out flat black whips. I’m referring to out-of-this world space age shuttles for Virgin Galactic. After all these years, E wanted to put his first event together to give big ups to the peeps that have supported him. His compound is in the heart of LBC. Party people represent.

Scion Racing brought the entire fleet down as well as the pop out XB DJ booth.

If any of his customers can do a frontside smith, E will comp the job!

Local industry heads came out to show support. The Graphite, 118 and Podium family

Ricky, I told you that last drink had something in it.

You know when you throw your first gig, your friends will be there to make sure all the spiders come out of the closet. I really have no comment on E’s past “modeling” gigs, except it paid the bills.

If you know E, he hates attention being pointed to him. Interesting enough, it was his b-day the next day. So like good buddies, we get him a custom EB Bugatti inspired cake.

We stop the music, bring the life size Fabio-like modeling shot and make him blow out the candles.

Then we proceed to show him how good it tastes.

How’s the beer taste with the cake?

Good thing we don’t need plates and only forks now.
