Wordless Wednesday: The OC Fair 2009

Maloof Money Cup 2009-Day 3 (Sunday)

Yesterday was the last day of the Maloof Money Cup. I was able to catch it late in the day, about an hour before the awards ceremony. The crowd was in full effect..it was a huge turnout. There were so many people, you had to push your way through. The sun was blazing also. I was seriously sweating and it was 5pm. Not pretty at all.

I was trying to get some great pictures, but alas there were so many fricken people...it was hard. I hard to push my way in through all of those "professional media types"..go figure.

I saw several of the pros posing for autographs and signing autographs. That was very nice. The little kids were stoked. I even saw a Sheriff's Deputy getting a shirt signed for her kid.

This was a great event and I can't wait for it to come back next year.

Oh, and I can say now that I've been there and got the t-shirt. I left with a black Maloof Money Cup shirt in my hand.

Maloof Money Cup 2009-Day 2 (Saturday)

Yesterday was Day 2 of the 2009 Maloof Money Cup. I wasn't able to spend as much time there as I did on Friday, but I ventured around a few different areas.

Not only can you see top notch skateboarding at the Maloof Money Cup but they had a great vendor's village too. I was able to walk through there and see some fabulous brands like, etnies, World Industries, Tech Deck, Oakley, Panda Express, and many more. They all had some great booths set-up. I saw that all the kids were hanging out at the Tech Deck booth, because they had some great mini-skateparks set-up. Plus, World Industries had some giveaways they were doing.

You can view yesterday's results here.

Oh, and while I was there...I just happened to see Snoop Dogg walk in. He was doing a little special concert for them. He sang some of his old school songs, which totally reminded me of my "younger days".

So on with the pictures....

Concert at The OC Fair

Yea, I know. I bitched about the Orange County Fair in a post last week. Well going to the Fair is much different that standing around directing traffic at the Fair.

I went to the Fair on Sunday night with some of my gal pals from work. We were smart and ate first (nasty Fair food is not too good for dinner, plus it's expensive). We then went into the concert. The concert consisted of 3 bands (The Vandals, The Mighty Mighty BossTones, and Dropkick Murphys).

The people watching at the concert was quite enjoyable. I felt out of place, cause I wasn't wearing black. Seriously, everyone was wearing black. Plus, I really didn't have my tattoo out on display.

I wanted some alcohol so I drug my friends around looking for something other than beer. I like beer, but I was not too impressed with their selection. I finally found a frozen margarita vendor. Seriously, $12 for a damn icey margarita, which totally gave me brain freeze.

The concert was pretty good. The crowd was pretty drunk.

Of course, I had to get a t-shirt. I waited in line with all the other crazies to get my damn shirt. The shirts were reasonably priced too, at $20. Usually concert shirts are about $35-40.

Well, I will end this post with a pic of me and my gals! Ignore the picture quality. I took it with one of my work cameras, which was not working very good.
