Being one of my longest work days yet, World of Dance SD started with leaving my house at 9 in the morning and not returning til 3 the next morning. Despite the long hours though, the trip down to San Diego proved to be a worthwhile one.

A huge thank you to my friends that dropped by on Saturday to help out — Melanie and Nahgooyin — but a HUGE thank you to Heidi for joining me for the trip down to San Diego, for helping me load/unload and set up, and for spending the entire 16-hour day with me without a complaint. So so thankful, you have no idea!

Show frenzy isn’t quite over yet though… I’ll be vending at the International Secret Agents LA concert this Sunday and sponsoring the Boogiezone University this weekend as well. More info coming soon!

It feels like I just made a trip down to San Diego, but I’ll be driving there once more for World of Dance this Saturday at the San Diego Concourse. It should be another big dance-fest, so come out if you’re in the area and feel like watching the show or doing a little shopping. It shouldn’t be too difficult to spot my pandas and ninjas amidst the sea of hip hop attire… so I hope to see your face!

If you’re north of San Diego and can’t make it out this weekend, be on the look out for my appearances at the ISA concert and Boogiezone University next weekend!

Last weekend, I was down in San Diego for FAP 2.0 when I recognized a familiar face in the crowd: the Mario Kart guy! If you don’t know what I’m talking about, then you’re not one of the 5 million people that has viewed his crazy popular (and uber cute) Mario Kart Love Song video on Youtube:

Although best known as the “Mario Kart” guy, his name’s Sam Hart and for the few minutes I got to chat with him (before he got bombarded by teenage girls to take photos and sign autographs), I could tell he was a really genuine guy.

His originals and covers are always lighthearted and quirky, touching on topics that probably hit a soft spot from our childhood. Well, he’s done it again, with his cover of the theme song from “Adventures of the Gummi Bears”:

Oh… did I mention he’s wearing an “I Am A Ninja” tee? ;)

Last night, I stayed up until three o’clock in the morning painting, stamping, and glazing hearts for a batch of new wooden heart rings. It’s been a crazy August so far, and it’s hustle time since this weekend is Unique OC!

Do work.

During the FAP 2.0 show, Dan Davis was nice enough to put together an impromptu photobooth exclusively for me and my customers… and the photos are now up! You can view the photobooth footage here.

A sneak peek:

Thank you again to Dan for doing this for us!
