Vans Book Party: Stories of Sole

The shindig was definitely one Spicoli would have been proud of. There was not one, not two, but four different types of food trucks to choose from ranging from Italian to TK Burger. There was an Archies ice cream truck and most importantly, there was an open bar! Inside the walls were covered top to bottom with pieces from the Vans Book: Off The Wall Gallery Project, where Vans invited innovative artists they have worked with over the years to offer their own personal take on the iconic Vans skateboard logo. Some of the artists include Jermaine Rogers, Tony Munoz, Geoff Rowley, Mr. Cartoon, Neckface, Nathan Fletcher, Travis Mallard, Steve Caballero and Joel Tudor, just to name a few.

After winding our way through what seemed like endless hallways of art we found ourselves watching the complete annihilation of the ramp in what felt like the Vans kick-back, garage arena. Shredders included the littlest Florence, Joel Tudor and Omar Hassan. Then, just when we thought watching some of our hero’s skate was exciting enough, TSOL started to play. Its safe to say that fun was had by all, except maybe the kid that was puking in the parking lot at the end, but mega shaka to Vans for an amazing evening!
