Last class ends at 11:30 and the bus home could put me their around noon, perfect. I'll probably check it out for a bit and see if I can snag any deals.

Hastings isn't THAT bad.. the PNE is on Hastings.

And a sample sale is a brand rep putting together a ton of the merch that didn't make the cut (ie small rips, different colour stitching, or wrong tags) and selling it all for cheap cheap cheap. In my town there are a ton of reps and owners of companies like Hurley, Volcom, and Arson, and they all set up sales like this, I'm definitely gonna be there and check it out. Oh and the sooner you get there the better, their stock is very limited

I went down to the sample sale today and it was pretty good. They had a lot of classic line street wear, mixed with some of their newer stuff. Check it out. (plus the prices are great, other than line the sale was lacking though)

wow i got there an hour after it started and there was no outerwear or streetwear. and i thought the prices for skis were not sample sale worthy. ie. i little pricey, for used skis.

You guys are lucky, I had run around town all day trying to get tickets/poster n' shit going, only to have Snowcovers decide they're not going to sell tickets because it was "too much work". Literally, that's what they told me. FUck.

And I'm still not done yet
