A couple of weeks ago, Niclas who is The Hundreds seller in Norway, told me that my biggest inspiration of all time was coming to Oslo! At first I was really stoked, but when I heard the date of arrival, I almost died. Hah. They were coming the day I was going away. Dang!
However, it worked out. It turned out that my departure wasn't until later that evening, which meant that I could hangout and at least meet them for some hours. THANK GOD! Everyone who's been reading this blog knows who I'm talking about, and this post is already old news for you guys. I would've written about it earlier, but I haven't had time, and it hasn't really sunk in yet.. hah. It was just too surreal.
So yea, last Friday I finally got to meet and really chop it up with The Hundreds. A brand that I've been following since forever. Probably almost a decade now. I've been basing so much of my work and inspirations on their work. I've used The Hundreds to learn so much about street culture and everything that goes in it. Bobby Hundreds, one of the founders, is probably the main reason for me ending up buying a DSLR camera. Thanks sir! The way that the brand is so humble and eager to teach the youth about the culture is so admirable. Thanks for everything!
On Friday me and Niclas, met up with Bobby, Scotty, BMO, Patrick and Zach of The Hundreds. Finally got to chop it up! We showed them a bit of the city, then we sat down at Delicatessen to eat. Very very nice. Niclas is an awesome host.
I really find it hard to write this post, because I really don't know how to explain my feelings. All I know is that I'm forever grateful for everything The Hundreds has taught me and done for me. From just making me look fly.. haha, to posting some of my stuff, to just inspiring! During our short meeting, they asked me if I officially wanted to join the team, and be one of their international voices. BOOM! I WIN! Finally I get to work officially with my biggest inspirations. This is going to be so great and exciting. Good times ahead for sure. THE HUNDREDS NORWAY FTW!
Here are some pictures from the hangout:
