Ruben,t'was great chatting about your life adventures beyond Oakley stuff, which I will treasure. When I retire from collecting, I now know who I can pass my best pieces on to, if my daughter doesn't pick up the hobby.

I really appreciate that, Stanley. I too treasured our conversation. It's always great to go beyond our limitations and know no bounds.

Pics look great, thanks guys!

So.... I wonder what the folks at O thought about the overall turnout and what's next? Kit?

East Coast!! (Fingers crossed)

He's on his way to Israel...

Honestly I can see East coast getting picked, maybe NY or FL. Personally I think another "ramp up" show in the Midwest would be great. KC, STL, Chicago.

I hope it's outside the city. I'm definitely not capable of tackling NYC. Least with a car. CT would be good since it would capture most of New England plus NJ/Penn with similar driving times.

I was surprised they picked the Frisco store instead of the more upscale NorthPark store in Dallas itself. Perhaps it's a tad closer for the OKC folks.

I'd LOVE an East Coast event!

That surfboard idea was brilliant. Awesome pieces on it too.

Yes, AMAZING!

I would love to see some close ups of your Mag 4 sometime.

Northpark store is too small.

Super sweet collection Joseph. All these awesome pics are really starting to bring back the Oakley collecting fire for me, haha.

Northpark store is too small. - Defenderoftheo

That makes sense too. I hadn't noticed the disparity in floor space between the 2 stores.

I'm sure I'm not the only one to echo that comment.
And the blue "waves" beneath the board too.

It was a pleasure meeting you Stanley.

Ditto, Ben. And you look quite different from your current avatar.

Haha indeed

was these events a success in the eyes of Oakley?

Seems to be. I sent a letter to Kit detailing any feedback that I got outside the threads, and social media, but from member attendance, it seems the guys in charge were happy.

Yeah, Kit sounded pretty happy about the events when I was talking to him. Now waiting hear back about getting my signed sketch.
