Outdoor Retailer Show

It's only one week away from the 2012 summer Outdoor Retailer Show. The show occurs every summer in Salt Lake City Utah, and is the main show for the outdoor industry. Throughout the one week show, the outdoor clothing and gear manufacturers show the upcoming designs and products that will fill the retailers in the spring.

I've never had the opportunity to attend the show, as it's only open to internal industry employees, and retail buyers. This year that is all changing. I'm flying form Orange County to Salt Lake on Saturday to get a chance to look and feel all the new gear.

I promise to report back with details ofall the latest gear, so you can plan now for budgeting for next years gear. Stay tuned....

Friday night, my new friend Johanna and I had a great time at Devotchka. The Belly Up tavern in Solana Beach is a cool small theater, and a great place to see a show. The music was rockin as awlways, and the funky eclectic music was a good reminder of my home. I can't say enough about how nice it is to see great musicians on stage together. No fluff, no washed out sounds, just good old fashioned music.

Hopefully you'll be hearing more about Johanna in future posts:) Also anyone who hasn't heard of the band should check out their music on Itunes.
