Sincerely Hogwash Does Vegas



Our guys over at Sincerely Hogwash had a great time in Vegas, and they've got the scars to prove it. Between politics, soaking in Sin City for the third time, and dealing with technical difficulties, we managed to sit down with the homie Ryan to see how everything went down at the Magic Tradeshow.

This is only part one, as our feature interview with Sincerely Hogwash will be up tomorrow. In that piece, we will give the world a chance to meet these cats.


IT'S A LIFESTYLE: So how was Vegas in retrospect?

Sincerely Hogwash (Ryan): Man. Vegas was bananas! The tradeshow was crazy with tons of brands showing, and toward the end of the week the NBA All-Star crowd starting filtering in. Out of towners shut Vegas down.

IAL: Who had the best layout?

SH: For sure ALIFE did. They skipped the whole tradeshow madness and did a suite at the lavish venetian. It was pretty clean and chill.



IAL: What were you favorite booths?

SH: I was the most impressed with Manik, Swagger, Alife, garbege, oh and Girls Gone Wild had a sweet booth. They had a full sized open bar setup and a lounge area with jumbo shrimps, fresh fruits and crazy desserts. So of course we got a little fade on. That dude Joe is the definition of ballin!!!!

IAL: Who had the best freebies?

SH: GGW



IAL: Take us through a day in Vegas during the Magic Tradeshow.

SH: Wake up. Hustle down to the buffet. (when in Vegas the buffet joints are crucial) Arrive at the show. Parade the show floor. Peep all the different brands. Network with some heads you know, and hopefully some you don't. Have a few beers. Go ba ck to the hotel exhausted to talk about the trends and future of the industry. Sleep. Repeat.

IAL: What was the musical rotation like?

SH: This is a great question. I like this one. Unfortunately, My IPod broke a few months back, and they cost a grip nowadays. I wasn't pumping anything in LV. I dont think Eric had anything on him either... We did catch the Little brother and Lupe show though. That was ill!



IAL: Favorite Las Vegas pickup?

SH: I went to the newly opened UNDEFEATED while I was out there and copped the FRUITION X UNDFTD collab shirt and the "PLAY DIRTY" fitted. Shit is nice quality.



IAL: Shoutouts?

SH: Definitely wanna shoutout the ALIFE cats for showing us how it should be done and pollying with us for a minute. Gotta shoutout my fam MARCUS at Connoisseur 533 in San Jose, and I gotta put eric on blast once again for sleeping in the terminal and missing his flight [Laughs]. Classic.


Keep your eyes peeled for Part 2, coming soon!!
