this is the third time I got to Dj the open for Howard Jones over the years. This time at The Oriental Theater. His sold out show rocked Saturday night and after, we got him to autograph this old Dr. Martens 8 eye for the shops boot collection and a few of his records!
this was a great day - we traded TUK Creepers for the hook up to meet Midge Ure and it was well worth it! This Scottish Bad Ass was big time involved with Live Aid and co-wrote Band Aid's 'Do They Know it's Christmas'. (i didn't realize this is the second best selling single in the UK's history, wow!)
Gabriel plays horns for the Untouchables but also was one of the founding members of No Doubt! kind'a cool to have him in the shop!
The Untouchables - Los Angeles Jerry and the gang did a meet & greet at the shop this week before their show at The Oriental Theater.  the boys all signed up this classic 'Made in the UK' 8 eye Dr. Martens left to us by good friend of the shop Leo Cassil.  These boots were well loved for 4 years every day - he said he was returning them to "Valhalla" (Norse Mythology where those who have died in battle/war go to)  I kind of liked that..
.. all time favorite..
To have Mark in the shop for a second time... dreams come true, and.. to have my daughter with us was so special (she know the bands music)
Mark hopped on our 65 Vespa in the shop, i think he would have take it out if we had gas!!
We've loved this band since we found them back in 1986 with their single "Desire". We met one half of the twin brother band Michael Aston before at one of his shows, but it was really rad to meet the other twin Jay Aston, and even better to have him in the shop! We set him up with TUK creepers and Jay signed up all our records. His show was at Herman's Hideaway right next to our shop. This was special, he gave us a sweet shout out from stage thanking us for his cool creepers! I feel like we made a friend and he definitely has the 'it' factor, cool guy.
we got to go see and meet up with both brothers in the last few months, crazy, we've followed them since the early 80’s with their hit songs Heartache and Desire.  Jay signed up this super old Tred-Air boot we had at the shop from way back in the day.  He gave us a "burn burn burn" lyric on the toe from 'Twenty Killer Hurts' one of our favorite songs from the band!  And just recently we got Michael hit it up as well
