When I rolled the first video at noon the theater was about 1/4 full and I was thinking that that was all we were going to get. Pontus Alv's new video "In search of the Miraculous"(one of my favorite videos of 2010) played for an eager audience and by the time it was over the theater was starting to fill up. After a quick raffle for the coveted Maloof Money Cup NYC tickets we rolled the new Bones video and kids were hyped! Another quick raffle and on to the main event. The queens locals came out in packs to support Luis Tolentino's first full length video part in the new Famous Stars and Straps video. Him having the first part set it off right! Kids went nuts cheering for our native son. More Raffles and a product toss had everyone going home with some Maloof, 5boro, Vans and Famous gear.
The best part of the day was seeing everyone in the streets skating after the premiere. Kids were hyped and I'm sure they skated into the night.
Thanks to all who came out and supported.
Peace.
