We were fortunate enough to host our One Year party at the shop this past Friday night.

The night featured music by CITYSTATE and DJ Whores, a photography exhibition by Colby Elrick and Colin Arlen (Macaframa), and a couple of ill decorative cakes courtesy of The Frosted Cake Shop.

I want to thank our out of town friends like Benny, Hiromi, and Levi (Benny Gold), who were gracious enough to drive out for the night. Hidehiko (California Street), Joe (House of Commons) and good ol’ Neek (Where’s Neek) even came out from SF and LV.

I also have to thank all of our sponsors for the night: 10 Deep, Flying Coffin, Mishka, HACrticial, and Vitamin Water.

More than anything, I want to thank all of our friends and family who made it out. Without all of you, this would not be possible.

Cheers.

Still recovering from Black Friday, my sleep schedule is no longer appropriate for this hemisphere (and for those of you that know me, it was already abnormal). Four days later, I’m still amazed by the showing of support we had on Friday, from those people who lined up in the freezing hours of the early morning, to our friends who stopped by simply to say hello.

If it were not for all of these people holding us down from day one, Lucky Lefty’s would not be what it is today. I am extremely thankful for all of the love, and therefore I found it appropriate to embarrass a few of you by putting your mugs up on the front page.

Over the last year, Lucky Lefty’s has allowed us to travel quite a bit. Out of these great locations, Tokyo and Honolulu are still my favorite, though I’m not complaining about any others (well maybe, but that’s neither here nor there). With that said, home is still where our heart is.

As we approach the one year anniversary of Lucky Lefty’s, it’s nice to look back on a year that went by way too fast…along with our great group of friends and family, we’ve met a few rad individuals over the past year.
