So for any one who doesn’t know me my name is James.

Now that we have the intro’s out of the way I have just returned from a rad LoveSac journey. I have just rolled over 2300 miles around the west coast. I will say one of the coolest things of this trip is I got to hit some places I have always wanted to check out. First I started in Salt Lake City UT. I rented a van and took off. First place to go was Portland for a stop at the ZUMIEZ COUCH TOUR!!!

But before you get to Oregon you must drive through Idaho. Now I have nothing against Idaho or my fellow Sacr’s there but I must point out some things. First You can totally think I am crazy but I swear Boise smells like Peanut Butter!!! I don’t know if the local Jiff factory exploded that morning or what….. Call me crazy but I call it like I see it (or smell it). Second thing I didn’t realize that so much of Idaho was so flat. When ever I have traveled there it has always had mountains. Although I never really traveled more then around Bear Lake.  But it did remind me of one of my favorite lines from a movie “These Rocky Mountains aren’t very rocky.” “Yeah that John Denver is full of @&*%”. 

So as I rolled through Oregon I saw some pretty rad stuff. Out of nowhere I cruised up Blue Mountain and into some awesomely green forrest. I love the woods and the outdoors so I found this to be totally awesome. Then I am guessing around half way through Oregon on I-84 I ran into some other awesome sights. As you scroll down check out some of these rad pic’s of the John Day River, cliffs from the river, and giant windmills.

Part of what made all of this so cool to drive through is you follow this river all the way into the city so it’s a great view the whole way.

Anyway enough of the scenery for a while. Lets get into the ZUMIEZ COUCH TOUR!!! This is most likely the coolest event I have done with LoveSac. I mean they had a local hero skate contest, the Enjoi pro skate team out there and some seriously rockin bands on stage. While I could sit and type this stuff out, and make you read it I figured I would be nice and let you watch this cheesy, goofy video of me!!

Hmmm….. I may not be the best person to put on camera, but it was a total blast to be there. I also just want to say thanks again to Courtney from New Era hats for hooking me up and helping out with my sweet LoveSac Hat. Here are some views of the Couch Tour….

This is the sweet skate park where all of this went down. as you can see it ended up crazy packed with some of the best young skate talent                                                     that Portland had to offer.

This was the living room set-up for the gameing. Left side Guitar Hero and, Right side Skate 2. This was the best place to chill and get out of the sun and, with 10 gamer sacs to sit on you could almost always find a seat. Now for one lucky dude the tour was better for him then it was for any body else. I was in a generous mood and I had a little extra product with me. So I decided to climb on stage and hook up one of the skaters up with a free Sac. That’s right I hooked up MR. MAU K. with a Gamer Sac and Micro Suede cover. This little dude was one of the coolest kids in Portland. So congrats again!!!

Last but not least I just want to say thanks again to Jami, Gina, Page and, everyone else on the tour for ROCKIN THE SAC!!!!

NOW LET’S MOVE ON TO THE SECOND STOP….. SAN FRANCISCO!!!

Oh boy where to start on this one. Okay first thing, when I was working in So-Cal I was always told how gorgeous northern California was. Well I don’t know if I just got there at the wrong time of year but…… Well you can just see for your self and thats all I am going to say on this……

So let’s move on to business. When I go to San Francisco I went to this place called Lululemon Athletics. Whether it’s for playing and/or working out, staying comfy, even going out casually these clothes are awesome. I even grabbed some shorts to bring home with me cause they were just way to awesome. I couldn’t pass them up. The goal here was to make Lululemon as comfortable as possible and look just as awesome. This is what we came up with so check it out.Now believe it or not this person works for Lululemon and is a trained to do things like this. So please never try a back flip onto your sac at home.This was the most hardcore athlete in the city. I think he could bench press me!!! Keep rockin dude!!!

The person who made this all possible was the rockin manager of this store Miss Season!!!  Although she was stuck in the office bustin her butt to keep the store running, this still couldn’t have been done with out her. Thanks again for Rockin the LoveSac!!!!

Now I had a little extra time on the last day in town so of course I had to do some sight seeing. I mean you can’t go to San Fran and not go see Golden Gate, Fishermans Warf, and Alcatraz. So before I left I thought I would show you some of the great sights I got to see. Oh and there is a really funny video of me driving down some crazy hills in the city. Which by the way the video does not do these hills justice. Anyway scroll down and check out the last few pics, please leave me a comment of what you think and I hope to post for you all again.

Well that is the end my friends. It was a long and crazy trip, and a long and crazy blog. If you made it to the end I must say Nice Job, and like I said before please feel free to leave me a comment and or thoughts on the trip.
