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!

Here is a list of the vendors sponsoring this event. We are so honored to be part of such an awesome list and excited that this is our first event of this kind!
Switchfoot/Bro-Am
We are SO excited!!! For the last 5 years, Switchfoot has been putting together an event called Bro-Am. This year is no different except that we are going to be a part of it! The all day event consists of a surf contest, vendor booths, a Switchfoot concert and about 5000-6000 people coming out to support and have a great time. This event is to raise money for an organization called StandUp For Kids which is a national nonprofit volunteer outreach organization dedicated to making a difference in the lives of at-risk, homeless, and street kids.
The event will be held on June 26, 2010 on the Moonlight Beach of Encinitas, CA.
So please come out and support, and stop by our booth to say “hi”!
