Wow, it felt like a real skate show!  This was the first show on the entire tour so far that has allowed skateboarding in the venue…and it was awesome!  There were tons of kids everywhere gliding around doing tricks and hoping some big shot would notice them and make them famous!  Kids were so pumped up!!  It was funny because so many kids came up to me asking if I could get Jones soda to be their sponsor!  I had to break the news to them that I was a nobody and the only thing I could do for them was quench their thirst with a few samples!   I was really impressed with the skills these kids had though.  Gotta give it to all of you up-and-coming skater kids, don’t worry your time will come!

I’m telling ya, kids were just super talkative at this show! They were so curious to know if I had met any of the pros, when I said that I had, they wanted to know every detail about them!  They were even asking me how they could get a job like this on a tour like this just to get closer to the pros!  It was really cute, I’m glad to know there’s tons of ambitious kids out there!

The kids that kept me the most occupied however were the MS Skaters!  Whooo Hooo!  You kids rocked! They kept me so much company and had such great convo, Hope you boys are sporting those Jones T-shirts I hooked you up with, everywhere you go! And don’t forget about us when you’re big time K?!

Oh and I’ve gotta give a shout out to the dude that took a knee straight to the jewels just for a picture on the Jones Website!  You’re a trooper man! 

After the show, Jordan and I decided to end off the night just right!  Throughout the East coast, we have been on a mission to get our gritty little hands on some White Castle sliders…and FINALLY we hunted one down along the way! We had to take a detour and got a bit lost because of it! But it was worth it! 

See ya in Philly guys!

For all of you who had no idea a pro skater was living in your neighborhood, now ya know!  Boom Boom Huck Jam’s Pro Skater, Sergie Ventura proudly shares Virginia Beach with you as his own hometown! 

Fortunately we had 4 days off in Virginia Beach and it was awesome, we had an absolute blast!  No wonder Sergie can’t get enough of it, cool people come from cool places!  I totally looovvve this city!  It reminded me of my good ol’ hometown - San Diego, CA.     Give it a shot and you tell me if you like it just as much!

Well, this was the last city for our very own Jones road warrior Erica to enjoy.  She had to go back to her home in San Diego and wasn’t able to be with us on the day of the event!  We miss ya girlie and thanks for your great energy on this tour!! 

For the next couple of shows it’ll just be Jordan and I; then we’ll have another Jones road warrior with us…her name is Michelle, so be sure to welcome her when you see her at the Philadelphia show! 

The Virginia Beach BBHJ event was a blast!  Sergie was extremely excited to be performing in his hometown and the crowd showed him plenty of love too!  The kids were full of energy and their cheers proved they had a great time!  Jordan on the other hand was stoked because there were tons of hot mamasitas!  Great times in VB!

We also want to say hello to Jared and Kendal.  Jared was such a patient and adorable kid with the best manners ever!  In the middle of the show he unfortunately wandered off and gave us a scare.  Luckily he was found.  Thank you to all the people that helped us keep an eye out for him!

Thank you Virginia Beach for showing us such a great time! You guys Rock!

Your Jones Road Warrior,

Paulina!

What’s up Detroit!  Wow!  I’ve always wanted to go to Detroit; I just wish we would’ve been able to spend a bit more time there… because as KISS says, “You gotta loose your mind in Detroit Rock City!”   Unfortunately I wasn’t able to, but I still had good times Detroit, good times!

It was a great sunny day and the event was filled with lots of cool people, families, kids and tons of cool hats!  I like your style Detroit! Erica and I even found ourselves giving some kids piggyback rides!  You guys rock! 

It’s great to know that there are lots of Jones Soda fans out there, especially in Detroit.  This city was the first place where people actually proved to us that they visit our website.   We had so many people come in with their proof of purchase in return for a Jones Soda T-shirt (available only on tour!)  Hope you guys liked them!

We’ve got to thank all the Jones Soda Reps out in Detroit that paid us a visit and kept us company for the day!  Gene Mazzlo, you were a sweetheart!  Thanks for hooking us up!  Paul Wiery, you were a cool funny guy and Avery is absolutely adorable.

Oh and then there was the “Troubled Youth Klothing” guys, Steve and his boys!  We saw a lot of you that day, you either really liked the free sodas or you thought we were cute and couldn’t get enough of us!  …It had to be the Jones Soda right?!   Thanks for the t-shirts guys and for chit chatting with us throughout the day! 

They Came, They Saw, They Rocked…Detroit Rock City!

Till next time guys!

Wwwwhhhhaaatttttsssssuuuupppppp Moliiiiiiinnnnneee!  You guys were a freakin blast!  Maaaan did you guys keep us entertained in your crazy city!  Not only did we have a great time on our day off in Chicago but the show in Moline was absolutely unforgettable! Your energy definitely turned this Boom Boom Huck Jam stop into  an amazing show…all the athletes were at their best performances thanks to your liveliness!

Now, if you haven’t already noticed …our Jones Soda “fountain chugging” seems to be pretty popular amongst all you crazy kids, but so far Moline, IL has topped all the other cities.  I just can’t believe how passionate all you people were about getting a hold of Jones Soda! 

From the moment our first request for the fountain chugging came along there was no turning back.  A huge line instantly formed and all of you eager kids danced around waiting anxiously to get Jones Soda squirted into your mouths. We even had our first female chuggers, the Bandana Twins!  Thanks for showing all those dudes that chicks could rock the chugging too! You girls rock!

Then, as if the day couldn’t get any more rowdy, the countdown started!  The object of the game was to see who would be able to chug the most Jones Soda in one fountain chugging moment! 

Believe it or not our ultimate winner chugged the Jones green apple soda for a total of 20 seconds.  And let me tell you, this kid was really taking those gulps down! Wow!  He must really love that stuff!  I’m kicking myself in the butt right now for being so caught up in the moment of cheers and glory that I didn’t even get his name, and even worse, I didn’t even offer the kid a prize! (If you happen to be reading this Mr. Winner please reply to the blog and we’ll see what we could do for ya!)  The most interesting part of this gentleman winning was that his shirt read, “A winner is someone who has continuous goals and has the ability and drive to make things happen.”  How Ironic is that?  I guess that proves what this kids philosophy in life is huh?!  Congrats Mr. Winner!  Don’t forget about the “little guy” when you’re a big shot o.k.?!

To all you other kids, keep this guys philosophy in mind and MAKE THINGS HAPPEN!

I had so much fun with you Moline, IL!  Thanks a bunch!

The Aftermath…

Just our luck, Boston weather was horrible when we arrived.  Lucky for you Boom Boom Huck Jam figured out a way for the show to continue…indoors.   Unfortunately we were unable to sample our delicious Jones Soda for you in the rain…we would have definitely got blown away! 

The good thing is, that all of you troopers who stood out in the pouring rain just to see Tony Hawks Boom Boom Huck Jam got a chance to catch some nice Jones Soda T-shirts. 

There was a large crowd waiting for the doors to open when Jones Soda pulled up and threw a bunch of t-shirts out to the crowd.  You guys absolutely loved it, hope ya all liked the shirts and are sporting them around your town! 

See ya next time!

We had such a great time in Delaware! …Once we finally got there that is!  The 15+ hour drive from Atlanta, GA kinda rocked us…we even got a speeding ticket on the way!  We just wanted to get there already and it seemed like it was soooo far away. 

Once we finally arrived to your sweet town we couldn’t believe how beautiful and clean the it was, and everyone treated us so kindly.  We’ve got to say hello to a few great people that made our stay in Delaware so great!  The front desk receptionist at our hotel was awesome …her name was Peaches and was just as sweet as one too!  Then there was Adam…Erica and I decided to pamper ourselves with pedicures and Adam hooked us up…thanks for treating us like queens!

Everywhere we went, the Delaware State Fair seemed to be the talk of the town.   It was exciting to have a change of scenery and all of us were looking forward to the fair. It was a great day…I mean there’s not much to complain about when you’re at a fair right?!  The day was beautiful as well as the people.  Everyone was so polite and friendly. So many people were offering to help out too…or maybe they were just trying to get a free t-shirt!!

Delaware was the first place we tested our Jones tattoos!  Like I said, the people at the Delaware state fair were awesome!  Within a few minutes people were walking around with Jones tattoos on their necks and foreheads.  From babies to Granny’s, everyone at the fair had one!  It was sooo much fun!  You guys are troopers!

Well, it turned out that there were tons of Tony Hawk fans in good ol’ Delaware. The Boom Boom Huck Jam sold out on the two shows that were offered at the fair. We all thought it was going to be a hard day because of the two shows, but you guys made it sooo easy on us.  We truly did enjoy our time at the fair.  Oh and thanks to our Philly cheese steak girls for hooking it up with some amazing food.

Hope you all had as much fun as we did! Thank you Delaware!

Georgia may be known for their peaches, but I’ve got to tell ya…it wasn’t their peaches that caught my eye…it was the colorful pallet of hairdo’s that had me loving the town! A crowd of Tony Hawk fans showed up with their rockin’  hairstyles ready for a great show!  Their crazy hair colors that filled the amphitheater reminded me of my childhood days when the older punk rock kids would skate in the park!  I remember begging my mom to dye my hair just like theirs…I wouldn’t shut up about it till bedtime!  FYI…I was never able to convince her, and till this day I still yearn for a splash of purple hair!!

I’ve got to give a shout out to what I thought was the best pair of hairdo’s for the day!  Hello to Mr. Punk Rock Dad and his little rocker boy, who both loved Jones’s Green Apple soda all the more because it matched the exact hair color on dads head! 

Then there was the kid with the autographed shirt that said “Donate to Kennesaw Skatepark”.  He was one of our repeat visitors who just couldn’t keep away from the Green Apple soda.  After looking back at the picture I noticed his shirt and my curiosity led me to looking up the meaning behind it.  Turns out that the Swift-Cantrell Skatepark committee is making an effort to build a public skate park for Atlanta skaters.   Their website specifically thanks Live Nation and the Boom Boom Huckjam tour for helping them raise $1,200 in an auction for the tickets. Kennesaw’s Skatepark will soon be a reality. 

Check them out at: http://www.kennesawskatepark.com/

And finally, last but not least… our fun-filled day in Atlanta, Georgia was topped off by a visit from our Jones Soda head honcho’s Seth and Mike.  Thank you guys from coming all the way down from Seattle to hang out with us!  You two guys are awesome and we’re looking forward to seeing you at the Seattle event! 

Now to all those true Georgia peaches out there…be sure to try our Jones Organic Red Tea Peach drink as well as our Jones Natural D’Peach Mode beverage!  You’ll absolutely love them!

See ya at the shows!

Whoooooowhhheeeeyyyy!  Wow it was HOOOOOTTT in Houston!  Gotta give it to all you Houston peeps, I really don’t know how you keep up with the heat there in your city!  But when it’s hot… it’s hot and what better way to cool down than to get a nice little Jones Soda shower!   Houston was the first place it was requested, we’ll just have to see if other cities will be up for it too! 

Houston wasn’t just hot though…you guys were hardcore! You rocked the crowd!  All of you came out, were loud, eager and excited…and that’s what we love!  From Jones Soda showers to handstand fountain drinking…you guys were a blast and had some real creative ideas to get closer to the Jones! 

Thanks for coming by and visiting Erica and I at our sampling bar!  We hope the next cities are as hardcore as Houston!  Rock on!

I can finally understand why it’s called “Sweet Home Alabama”!   Even pro skater Jesse Fritsch got captured into the sweet Alabama vibe and felt the urge to practice in a swanky pair of pink daisy dukes!  Hey…that’s what Alabama will do to ya!

Erica and I were so impressed with how great your city was.  Everyone was so polite and not to mention extremely thankful for Jones Soda quenching their thirst!  We had a number of repeat visitors…and they kept on coming back for more! There were even a few double fisters and four time soda fountain chuggers!  We love you guys!

Thanks to all those cute kids that kept us occupied, hope to see you next year!

Jones Soda Warrior,

Paulina
