We did something new this year. While the lines were piling up outside the expo doors prior to the show beginning, a few Animal brethren braved the crowds in search of Animal loyalists repping Animal Gear. Anyone standing on line rocking something with the "A" got hooked up with a special goodie bag for showing their loyalty. You may have been one of them. G Diesel spent some time searching through the crowds along with Wrath, The House, Antoine Vaillant, P-Diesel, Vinny G, C.Coronato, and others, handing out some giveaways to all those showing their support for Animal and taking fan photos. Only those wearing something Animal received the recognition. Inside was some pretty legit swag: a traditional Animal Skullcap, a 'Shut The Fuck Up and Train' bumper sticker, and a few samples of Animal Rage. Maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones next year?
Here's an email that came into corporate yesterday, from someone who was lucky enough to be given this bag ..
Just wanted to say thanks. Your guys hooked me up at the Arnold. I was wearing my Animal T-shirt and one of your guys came up to me shortly after I got to the expo and said "thanks for representing Animal. Here ya go". Gave me a bag with some cool shit in it. This happened to me 2 more times during the course of the day. Good to see that you guys take care of the people who are loyal to you. Later.
