Palm Trees, Bumpin’ Music & Good Times.

This past weekend my girl Jen hired me to help with the New Era gifting suite in Palm Desert, CA. Hmm.. gifting hats to artists, sitting poolside with friends, and drinking in the desert heat while listening to dj’s spin? It was a no-brainer and another ‘best time ever” to add to the books. The big bonus was being able to rent any car of my choice. Apparently the Prius is a hot commodity because I had to call at least 8 different rental services before tracking one down.

We stayed at the Mod Resort, which was rented out by FADER/Boosted for their daytime pool parties. I got to take a peek at Boosted’s eco-friendly, leather free line, consisting of dope accessory bags and colorful headphones. Holla for the hook up on my new fanny packs from the Mad Steez & Claw Money collabos.

I wasn’t planning on making it to the actual festival but Raymond Roker from URB magazine hooked us up with last minute tickets- THANKS RAY! Not only did we carpool to the festival, but we lessened our carbon footprint (not by choice) thanks to our cabbie, who dropped us off at the wrong entrance, forcing us to walk for at least 2 miles to get to the fairgrounds. I would’ve loved to have seen the Global Inheritance set up, but unfortunately I missed it because they had already shut down for the night. Catching the end of Portishead and half of Princes’ set was AMAZING! We about lost it when Sheila E. came on and performed every girls favorite 80′s song, “The Glamorous Life.” Already looking forward to next year.
