for millions of californians the obey winter sample sale means Christmas.
its ridiculously low prices, terrific selection,
and super long lines
allows a community of shepard fairey fans to unite, consume,
and obey.
we stand there for hours in the middle of nowhere waiting to hand over our money.
last year we were subject to dark skies, mediocre food trucks
and the borderline genius heavy metal coverband whose name now escapes me
because im heartbroken
for news just was delivered that the obey winter sample sale 2012
will not happen.
the company is “sorry”.
maybe they read the chat karisa and i had the other day

me: youre not gonna go to the Obey Sample Sale and get stuff for zsa and your sis?
karisa: oh- that line!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
when is the sample sale?
and eh
me: the line wasnt bad last year
probably next weekend
karisa: yeah, i wouldn’t really care i guess
i have 25% off for loehmann’s
and another 10% on top of it

maybe they heard that i puked on halloween dressed as the obey giant

maybe they just dont know that this sale is the very heart of Christmas tradition for many here

or maybe its just another way for nobama to make us all give up hope and move to canada

where its easy

and no one cares how cool your tshirts are.

last year i went with a young lady who didnt even try on her pants, just bought em

and slipped them on and they fit like they were painted on her beautiful curves

they fit so well she slept in them that night (to my dismay)

and then ran a 10k in them in the morning.

a jacket i bought there fit me so well that when a young bicyclist in amsterdam took a photo of me in it

the most beautiful dutch girl passing by fell in lust with me and

obeyed

my every prurient interest.

we had children and live a secret life i will explain at a later date.

but it all started with that little sale.

that wonderful, wonderful

and now gone,

probably forever

sale.
