The Josh Martin

Sorry friends, it has been a long time since an update. As most of you know, I hope, the Bamboozle did not go as well as we had hoped. With the UPS drama, and the other vendors who were really pissed at us for losing their merch and then counting back in about 150 boxes life has been very crazy.
I just had my wisdom teeth out this past week. I am not sure what I was expecting, but it was really easy. I spent most of Friday recovering but then made it out to see the new Indiana Jones movie. I must say I was really disappointed by the film. The movie was just not an “Indian Jones” film. If you are a follower of the older films and see this one you will know what i mean.

Well that is a short update, I will post a photo that I am sure Jared will poster or use for a phone image.

We are getting on the plane right now to head to Bamboozle. Check out the inside at www.aktenterprises.com/insider to see the updates

Here are few new designs that are going to be printing for Bamboozle as well. They were designed by good friend Greg Perkins

So the bamboozle is just weeks away. I am currently preparing to head up there with District Lines, AKT, Chris Crocker, Unforgivable, and of course Naive Clothing. It is going to be a great time as 12 of us are heading up there to party, sell merchandise, and rock out!

We are finally getting our new Naive designs done and I am very excited. Below are just a few designs that we are going to do. We are still finalizing the colors for the designs so if you got an opinions let me know!

So I just found this new site that brings back the MixTape. Check it out. You can load songs to it, and people can just go stream 12 of them.

I like it!!

Oh yeah go give it a listen.

What ever happend to predictability?
The milk man, the paper boy, evening T.V
You miss your old familar friends, but
waiting just around the bend.

Everywhere you look (everywhere)

There’s a heart (there’s a heart)
A hand to hold on to.
Everywhere you look (everywhere)

There’s a face of somebody who needs you.

When you’re lost out there and your all alone
A light is waiting to carry you home
Everywhere you look.

Well! If you don’t know those familar lyrics I am out in the Bay Area for a week long vacation. I will do my best to update as this vacation goes along. Kerry and I are enjoying a week of relaxing, snowboarding, and wine tasting! Hope you all stay safe and I will try to update, for now enjoy this photo!

Today, I have an interesting meeting with a kid named Josh who is in the band ocean is theory. After a great conversation with Josh, I have decided to add them to the Naive Clothing family. I am very excited about this band because they are young, passionate and looking to make an impact in the music scene. I have met a lot of bands over the last 5 years while doing Naive. I am not saying this band is any better than those, but I am not saying they are worse, I just am impressed by their drive and professionalism this early on in their career. Hopefully Naive Clothing and Ocean is Theory can have a long relationship together.

Our plans at this point at to release a joint flyer, an exclusive t-shirt/CD combo with a Naive Design and their EP, a joint marketing plan at Cornerstone 2008, and that is just the start! I look forward to our relationship together.

We just put this item up for pre-sale!!!! It has never been online so go buy!Buy Serenity (Lapis) from Naive Clothing Official Online Merch Store on DistrictLines.com

So we designed this hoodie at Naive Clothing, about 18 months ago when we had an opportunity to print a custom cut and sown hoodie. Sadly the people who had offered us this deal turned out to be dirty liars and we had to shelve the idea. Since then my life, and the life of Naive Clothing has gone through many changes.
Well we are now thinking about bringing it back for the summer festivals. It all depends on the final quotes from the printers but we are hoping to make it a fashion statement this summer. This hoodie was designed by our good friend Danny Jones and we hope he will love us again since we can finally hopefully print it!
