Sometimes I really miss living in San Diego.  The atmosphere in SD is so different from LA, even though they are only separated by a little over a 100 miles.  I don’t mean the physical atmosphere either, though that is different also, and by different I mean better air quality.  What I’m talking about it, is the care-free spirit that seems to embody most individuals in San Diego.  I guess that was also one of the reasons I disliked it so much too.  Go figure.

The purpose of our trip was to visit Overload skate shop in North Park, SD to represent The Wild Ones.  If you don’t know, Overload has been doing a lot of great things for the skate community down in SD.  Just check their blog.  They held an event on the 11th featuring DJ Bella Loki, live in-store painting and drinks.  The Famous skate team rolled by since they were in the area for ASR, as did our good friends from 9five eyewear.

Greg hooked up a sick dripping monogram logo for The Wild Ones, along with writing Overload & The Wild Ones above vinyl cut-outs of the bandit figure.  Overall the event was really awesome, and it was great to meet the fans of the brand and hanging out with the Overload Skateshop family.  If you’re in the North Park area of San Diego, stop by the Overload shop and tell’em thebadcharacter sent ya!
