A1 SINCE DAY 1! 🫡 🤝🏼
This dude has been the realest, most dependable, most kind, creative, and incredible friend that I’ve met through these creative endeavors. 🤘🏼🔆
He’s the first homie that was authentic with no motive; we just love to create and soundboard and nerd out over stuff.
We met because while I was in Chicago in 2024 for River’s first show.. [which was a friggen marathon set and he killed it in his hiking pack with his fruit pouches and headphones lol.. the fell asleep in the hiking pack, and we ended up getting to gtf down for the last hour of the show in the VIP area because it was getting too intense to a tiny Gizz beebee in the masses and I couldn’t change his diapies in the portapotties lmao]
Like, the next day I saw a random post with a handle I didn’t recognize; but it was of a dope AF method of printing and producing merch that I had never seen and said.. dude that cool as eff.. what is this lol 🧐
I was laid off at 8 months pregnant and already started my entrepreneur endeavors and as a creative.. my brain is always poppin off in the wee hours, plus I had a baby that didn’t sleep through the night until 2 years old or more 🙃🫠🥴😵💫😴
****(fyi new moms.. you’re not alone lol)****
Anywho we started doing Google meets from like 9-10pm until like 2-3am just kicking it and creating and literally hanging out. lives in St. Louis and I lived in Cleveland at the time.
THEN!! When we do our brave af cross country move.. on th fist round we didn’t have the pups or baby, and got to pit stop in STL in 2025 and actually get to friggen hug IRL and get some BBQ!!
That still is our only IRL hang sesh.. but he’s coming to the Rado soon, right Mike?
lol grateful for dis homie and had another dope asf soundboard sesh tn while I am visiting the dopest dope in Colorado Springs. ⛰️
Cheers to da real ones 🥂 🫂🤝🏼
