IAMTHETREND
We were featured on the blog IAMTHETREND the other day. We like this site because of it gives honest opinions and the fact that it pushes all things independent; giving you a daily variety of posts on clothing, music, wares, and art.
Adam Hendle is the man behind this site and besides running the blog, he’s also started his own company called Pong Deck, which is an extension to the game Beer Pong! You have to check out both sites and appreciate the hustle Adam has put into the both of them. Keep up the great work man!

Crossing The US
Several weeks ago, I was visiting my sister in Central CA and found out that her and her husband were hosting 2 boys from Germany. I thought to myself, “Wow, what are they doing here, and how did they link up with my sister?” When I finally get there and meet them, I find out that they (Jan and Chris) had just finished their army service and had some time before college started. So they decided to bike across the US. No, not on motorcycles, but on bikes!

BRO-AM
This past Saturday Le Grand Cru participated in its first public event. Bro-Am has been going for 6 yrs strong and has partnered with several groups to be active in reaching the needs of homeless youth through an organization called StandUp For Kids. What an incredible event for us to be involved in.
Switchfoot headlined a great line up that included OK GO, The Almost, Young The Giant, and others. There was also a surf competition which included surfers Rob Machado, Tom Curren, and Timmy Curran, and members of Switchfoot. I got a wicked burn, my Seattle skin isn’t used to the Cali sun!
We met amazing people who came to hang & people who were from other brands/outreaches. It was awesome seeing this many people come together to make a difference in this community.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hi and to getting to know what Le Grand Cru is all about. We had some incredible help throughout the day, from the early morning setup, helping out at the table, passing out our flyer/stickers, and take down. Thanks for being part of our CRU, couldn’t have done it without ya’ll! We’ll definitely be back next year!
