WHO CARES!?!!

whats up whats up!!! this is kyle with another random blog...so ive been listening through the new Underoath album and i must say its got alot of complex guitarwork in it...im impressed. ive always been a fan of Underoath so i might be biased in my opinion on the alblum but i suggest you all at least give it an honest listen...Underoath-"Lost in the Sound of Separation"... if you buy music get this album...if you dont buy music: do what you do...haha.



but other than getting a chance to listen to some new music ive been working on new designs for everyone! a few are still in the works but i wanted to let you guys see the new "7k crew" design that will hopefully (with enough feed back!) will be a new image available on future product! so let us know what you think and if all goes as planed we can (or you can!) organize a street team to help get 7grand up off the ground...cause after all we want to be flying HIGH right?!

Sweetness

A couple of days ago, I was cruising along Melrose Ave in Hollywood on my way to get a much needed haircut and decided to make a stop in the Johnny Cupcakes store to see what was new.

To my surprise, there was the man himself, Mr. Johnny Cupcakes. We talked about an old venue in my hometown of Salinas/ Prunedale called Jim Dandys. It was a small small....small venue right off the 101 HWY that a lot of bands used to stop at on their way to/ from San Francisco. One of these bands just happened to be Johnny's old band On Broken Wings. A ton of good memories there at Jim Dandys with Evergreen Terrace, Bleeding Through, Throwdown, Norma Jean, Me Without You, Eighteen Visions, and tons more when they were just starting up. But alas it is now a used car lot....hmm as most places seem to be these days.

Anywho, it was awesome to finally meet Johnny, and thanx so much for making me a guest on your blog. If anyone is interested (and you should be) head over to Johnny Cupcakes to check out the blog and his "sweet" online store!

ONE final note, we here at Seven Grand have two NEW shirts dropping this Monday September 1st! They are awesome and come with a FREE Compilation CD of all our good friend's bands. Click HERE to order yours today!

From LA to tha Bay

This past weekend, my girlfriend Michelle and I took a trip up North to San Francisco with a stop in the Prunedale /Salinas/Monterey area. It was an awesome time! We got to see friends, family, the aquarium, and most of the SF bay as well as a sweet baseball game in which the Giants killed the Padres!

We started off with a cruise around the Elkhorn Slough. Right in my backyard!

Then we stopped by Alex's place in Marina for a quick visit.....

...and a tattoo. 1 skull for Prunedale/ Salinas, and 1 skull for LA

Then we ventured to Monterey and hit up the Monterey Bay Aquarium! Thanks Lee for hookin it up!

Oh yes, the aquarium has everything: gifts, water, nachos, and penguins!

Crusin still some more, we hit up Asilomar near Pebble Beach. Beautiful ocean air.

Night life in Salas and the 831, hangin with some of my best friends outside of the Salinas Bowling Alley: (let to right) Me, Michelle, Blake, Clay, and Andrew.

Oh good night back home, and then we got up early for breakfast with my dad and brother, and soon ventured up to San Francisco. Home of the Giants and Rice a Roni!


We saw some music in the park and talked to a very nice dude that gave us some hints on good bars in the area!


Took a peak at the Bay Bridge leading to Oakland.


And soon enough it was time for the night life! Balloons at the awesome Minna Gallery in downtown SF.


Katie and Michelle gettin thirsty at the Minna!


Sunday was awesome! We were originally suppose to meet with Aaron, Nate, Mikey, and Lee just to tail-gate and then be on our way, but oh no we decided to join them for the Giants game and pound a few tall boys before hand!


At the game wearing the NEW "Party Squid" shirt, which will be out next week on September 1st!


And then we had some great pizza after the game thanx to Aaron, and took a sweet group pic with all of the Giants beer cups we had collected/drank throughout the day! One for everybody!

It certainly was an eventful weekend. Friends, family, and lots of sun and beer. What could be greater than this!

In the coming weeks Seven Grand will be working on some sweet new gear for the Fall '08 Season, and will also be putting TWO NEW shirts on sale Monday September 1st "HUGE Fear" and the "Party Squid" shirts which come with a FREE compilation CD of all our BFF bands and can be ordered by clicking HERE!
