--9/9/07: Joey Bradford at Day 2 of the ASR Convention
We got home pretty late last night so I wasn't looking forward to the early wake up call. Luckily, Alise Post was with us and she had to shower and get ready, which takes quite some time, so Yvan and I got to sleep in for an extra hour and a half waiting for her.
The first few hours of the show were relaxing, not a whole lot going on just everyone hanging out and walking around everyonce in a while. Brian, who is the president of Double B Enterprises (Big Black company from MTV's Rob and Big) gave me most of the sample shoes they had there. I felt pretty lucky getting those though because I am the only other person besides Big Black and his buddy Bam Bam with the BB Shoes. Bam congradulated me on being the first person under 400 pounds to wear shoes so I was stoked haha. All of their friends were there which was laughs, guys are hilarious. After hanging out in the GO211 room for a while we all went down to this creative skateboards booth where Big got to make his own custom skateboard. They were definitly puttin him to work though, having to saw out the wood, sand it, paint it, which all took a long time.
The Big Black party started at 4:30 and everybody and their grandma came to check it out. Go211.com was the other half of the party and had a dunk tank for a few people to go in. Alise was the first one to get up on it. I was the first person in line and got her in right away! I didn't want to keep doing it so I stood up on a chair and yelled to everyone I would sponsor the first 10 people in line by paying for them to give it a go. Everyone rushed over and went for it. The target was messed up though, sometimes they would hit it perfect and it wouldn't do anything, and other times no one would even be throwing anything and she would be falling in. The party was cool and we met a few more people. I will post some pics from the day soon so check back for those! Later - JB
