Friday night was the "Deck the Halls" benefit fundraiser art show for Kenny Brimer. All of the art was for sale (donated by amazing artists) to try and get money for Kenny's fight against Leukemia. I showed up friday morning at 'Manifest' to check out the show being set-up and to take some pictures of all the skatedecks. I had a blast hanging out with everyone in the morning. The show kicked off at 9:00pm and got packed around 9:15pm. It was great to see everyone out and the vibe was very uplifting. Picture time.
Middle of the morning, putting on the ritz.
I think Manifest was made for shows like these. The decks looked incredible against the brick.
''How many homies does it take to screw in a skatedeck?".... It takes 4
Manifest is also a great place to get your fancy caffeine fix in the a.m.
Mandy was in charge of keeping the shiny decks extra glossy. "People love shiny", said Lucky.

Now it is time for the show. I was surprised how many people showed up early. People love art, people love Manifest, and people love loving. I'm glad I got to see a lot of my friendly's out and about.
The Halls are Decked!
