QUEEN of BAIL at the QUEEN MARY

This weekend had so many things going on it was impossible to do them all. Partys, art openings.. But I decided to accept an invitation to the ICE CUBE show at the Queen Mary. VIP, & all access is how I like it! 

The concert was packed & huge! The artists to perform were Ashanti, T Pain, & of course Ice Cube among others. 

Back stage is definately better than being shoved around by hundreds of people that are a foot taller than me! Backstage was full but very relaxed and chill. There were cabana areas for the artists & their guests. Lil Eazy E was there and was super friendly, met everybody & took pictures.  I really had so much fun. Thank you to my friend that took me, & the friends that made it possible.

The weekend is over... It was super fun & also a lot of effort. Lots of driving, lines, cost, and walking!!! It's been 9 years of relentless pounding the pavement for RQOB. This is what it takes to build a small business. 

Sunday was the last day of Ink n Iron Kustom Culture Festival on the Queeen Mary. 

My friends & I must have handed out 300 stickers. Of course there was some rejection, and as always some people take my business promotion personally & get all insulted. They assume I'm judging them as a law breaker. For the most part 99% of people are happy to get my sticker & are friendly to me. 

I had a chance to meet Buck from Buck Wild Designs, well known for his work on Pimp My Ride.  Entrepreneur's tend to think the same way & we had a solid discussion about our experiences in business. I always appreciate a business owners wisdom. It's not everyday I get to meet people like that. I had a great day with great friends. I did some good promotions & I can say mission accomplished!!! Thank you for visiting my blog. Stay tuned to see where you can get your RQOB sticker! 

QUEEN OF BAIL & QUEEN MARY

I love the Queen Mary. You cannot deny the odd feeling you get when you're on this ship. There is so much history there! Last night was the kick off party for the INK N IRON KUSTOM CULTURE FESTIVAL.  It was a private party in the Salon Ballroom on the ship. Tattoo artists from all over the world came. Artists from Amsterdam to artists from the east coast were there. Art was on display and three bands played. It was super fun!! I'll be back on Sunday to promote my business at a few booths. It's going to be epic to say the least!! Enjoy these pictures of the ship, & me and the legendary artist & curator of Ink n Iron Juan Puente from Black Heart Tattoos San Fransisco.
