I have have been a long time attendee at the Northeast Winterfest, from being apart of the talent show, to having my heart richly blessed by some great artists/speakers and not to mention meeting some great people, who are now my awesome friends. So now have a booth at this event is a total honor and a true testament of God’s favor because as I said they keep the vendors pretty in house. The only downer is that I won’t be there in the flesh but two just as awesome Skillas will be there, my brother and mom. So all my COG peeps stop by, say hello, take pics and pick up some of your favorite SKILLA gear.

I just love the support that the brand has received this past year (2009), everyone have been so awesome. I plan to step it up even more for 2010 and to just have more fun doing what I love.  Please remember that I don’t make mass production because I love the thought of something being limited or exclusive. Like when my friends and I would go to the NBA store to check out the throw back or retro jerseys and gear or when my brother and I would collect basketball cards, hoping in that pack of cards you would get a MJ rookie card or some really rare card. IMG_0101 I could go on and on about stories, so please understand once something releases try to be the first to pick it up because it may just be gone the next time you try to get it.

On that note the 1st set of 2010 gear drops next weekend and to kick it of I will be having a release celebration on Saturday 1/30/2010 at 6pm.

Also the “I’m A SKILLA” series is on the move, this is when I go around featuring some of the most skilled/gifted people I know or would like to know because I love to meet and talk to talented people. So at the event I will be featuring 2 up and coming culinary pros. I’ve tried their cooking personlly and these guys can really throw down in the kitchen, so come and enjoy good food and pick up some fresh gear.

Have a pretty busy Saturday evening & night 12/12/09 this weekend, starting with Crea’Cions Salon & Day Spa – Christmas Party which will be from 4pm – 7pm. This salon has really taken to my brand and has invited me to every event they’ve had. I’m real excited about this one, hoping to get to meet more awesome people and spread the brand even more.

Then at 7pm a few of my longtime friends invited me to dance at their annual Praise Night concert, which is usually pretty awesome. So I have been trying to make sure my body is in dance shape.

The people were very nice and I made some really good networking connections for the future. They also had a fashion show, which was pretty nice, so I’m pleased with the overall experience.
