Switchfoot, Zappos and More!!


Tuesday the 20th (yesterday) I went to a really awesome Switchfoot concert at La Jolla Play House in San Diego, California.  It was the most interesting and intimate concert that I have ever been to.  The Venue was really awesome.  It had nice cushioned seats and tables for ones belongings and no big huge crowd.  It was a very nice, relaxing and intimate setting with acoustic guitars rather than electric guitars. Throughout the show the band would answer questions about their new album Vice Verses and the creation process that went in to the album.  After the show I waited in line and get them to sign my free hugs shirt and got a picture of me with the band.  All in all one of the best concerts that I have ever been to.















After that I was on my way to Las Vegas to take a tour of the Zappos Headquarters located their.  I barely made it due to my sleeping and my check engine light deciding to come on at the most inconvenient time.. I got it all checked out and it was just the fact that I didn't have my gas cover but it gave me a scare and lost me precious time.   I really like the Zappos culture and it has influenced and inspired me with some ideas which I will share in a later post.  Stay tuned for that!! It's some pretty deep stuff. 
Right now I am on my way to the Solar Panel Store to learn some stuff about creating solar power so that sometime in the future I can get all my energy from the sun!! I should get back on the road.  Til next time,
David

Thoughts

Today and yesterday I have been in Starbucks getting organized and stuff for my tour of the Zappos Headquarters and my meet and greet with Switchfoot.  I was supposed to have a craft show today but it got postponed until the 31st of March because of rain.  I can't make that show anymore but I can focus more on trying to build up my online reputation. 
So funny story: Today I was just checking on the buzz light year bag that I made and stuff to make sure that it was ready and sturdy and could hold up to heavy use and I found that the zipper that I had gotten broke and then yeah I cut it off and made it so that it closes with velcro.  It's still pretty rad. 
Being organized is the one most important thing to having a good time I have come to realize.  Like once I get organized I feel like... you know I am going to be more organized and be able to figure out what to do with my time then increase my productivity. 
I have other profound thoughts that I wanted to share and get your feed back on but right now I am too tired to remember them.  Say Good Night David!!
Good Night David.

Spokane Craft Show :D

Saturday and Sunday I had a craft show at Central Valley High School.  It went pretty well.  I made my 60 dollars that I spent to be in the show and made a little bit more than that so it wasn't a lot but it's a start and hopefully with all the business cards I handed out I will be getting more orders soon and in the future.  I have really enjoyed my time here in Spokane Valley chilling with my cousin and my friends that I have here.  It's a pretty chill and awesome place. 
Today I met a pretty cool person who told me about this really cool program project thing called American Bear about the kindness of strangers and awesome cool stuff like that.  Here is a link to their blog: http://beardocumentary.blogspot.com/
It's pretty cool stuff. 
Tomorrow I am headed out to Sacramento to go visit another one of my friends Keith on Sunday.  I will drop off the buzz light year bag that I created for him and chill with him for a little bit then I will be on my way to San Diego for the Switchfoot Concert!!! :D I have to figure out which duct tape tie I am wearing to that concert....
Anywho I am chillin' watching Supernatural with my cousin so I will talk to you later!!
Peace,
David

Spokane, Washington

<p>I got to Spokane yesterday.&#160; 3 more days until my craft show!!! I have no idea what to expect from it so I am super excited as well as nervous.. I think I as ready as I am going to be for this show.. not nearly as ready as I hoped I would be but... oh well.&#160; In other news, my car is a mess and I am super unorganized so that might be why I am not ready for the show.  The next few days I am going to try and get all if my stuff organized and maybe try to get some last minute products made.
Today I am hanging out with a friend that I met the last time that I was here in Spokane.  She is a barista at Starbucks so that makes her automaticly rad.
I like food.  I enjoy Spokane.  I am super unorganized and excited for my craft show.... that's about it for now.  I'll update after my craft show on Saturday and Sunday :)
Hugs,
David
