It's been a while...

Finally I've had some time to sit down and write about what's been happening these past few weeks/months here in Tokyo.  We finally got our Index decks and shirts in - a lot of which will be used as giveaways.

I'm super stoked on getting everything out there and spreading the good word.  Just before Christmas I headed down to Murasaki Sports, Harajuku (Takeshita Dori) and handed over their Index order.  Needless to say, they were stoked (especially on the iClone deck!)

Fast forwarding a bit, next week (25th onward) we are having an in-house "mini-expo" for our customers since they are coming from various places throughout Japan to Tokyo, as many of the big snowboard and ski distributors hold their in-house expos around this time of the year.

And it usually holds true that most places that rock snowboard gear also rock skateboard gear.  So, we are all pretty excited about seeing our customers and more importantly introducing them to Index Ink first hand.

I, however, will be buggin' out on the 27th for the SIA show, which is held in Denver this year and won't be back until the 31st.  There I will be catching up with clients most notably Automaton Snowboards' Brenton Woo, who previously went to Chad for some deck designs (most recent and most notably, 2008/09 season's "Independent").

For now check out this pic of our office (it's a mess as we are preparing for the upcoming in-house expo, and, it was taken from my phone.)  I will post up some more pics once everything's in place.  I'm out!

From Japan,
