San Diego, CA: Baby Loves Disco!!
San Diego's first ever Baby Loves Disco was an incredible success! Parents lined the streets awaiting the opening doors of Aubergine, the host club of BLD. Strollers were parked in the designated "Stroller Parking" area and moms discussed which pair of BabyLegs their child loved best.
Spring and I were up and out by a quarter to 6am to locate a car wash or a water source (quite the epic) and found a self-service car wash where we washed the truck and then the trailer separately as only one would fit at a time. We made our way downtown to the Kinkos where our requested documents were ready to be picked up and then on to the street where Aubergine awaited hundreds of little ones. We scored rock-star parking and made our way to the most incredible breakfast either one of us had ever experienced. We discovered a Farmer's Market where we were seduced to purchase beautiful jewelry and trinkets to help an Indonesian man return home. We sat and chatted with the Flexcar reps and told them tales of our journey. With the sun beating down and the time ticking away, we made our way to the truck and trailer to prepare for our most energized event thus far.
I got to meet Andy Hurwitz who started Ropeadope Records, my favorite record label!! We had been in contact over email over 3 years ago... it was so crazy to finally meet him. Proud Pops that he is, he took over and helps each city initiate Baby Loves Disco. He's also created recordings with real, talented musicians with representative animal characters to encourage kids to love music through "Baby Loves Jazz" and "Baby Loves HipHop"! I'm a super fan! I was incredibly honored to meet him and work side by side with him for this crazy event!
Aubergine, the venue, was so perfect for this event! I enjoyed the "Stroller Parking" outside. The valets and bartenders made almost as much on this Sunday afternoon as they did on a Saturday night!
Miss Spring and myself in our shiney pants and ratted/painted hair. We had a display right by the back door everyone passed as they left the event.
This little guy cried when his dad first put the BabyLegs on his arms, but after he began throwing him into the air, he seemed to love them!
Okay, I know this photo makes me look like a goomba in the least flattering way (what exactly is a "goomba"?), but this is Andy Hurwitz... THE Andy Hurwitz! Oh how I wish I was wearing normal clothing for this kodak moment!!
We're on our way to Sacramento today. I regret leaving the beauty of the Pacific, but it'll be nice to be that much closer to home. We're still having a great time meeting so many people, but Spring misses her Cricket and I miss my... studio.
