Gumball: 3000

I'm so jealous of Jay (5&A Dime) and the rest of the crew that were invited to do the Gumball: 3000. This was taken directly from the 5&A Dime blog.

We had a visit the other day from our friend Maximillion Cooper from the Gumball 3000 Rally. If you haven't seen or heard of the Gumball Rally, you should definitely check it out. The concept is simple, take a car (expensive or not) and drive it balls-out across the world, then stop at certain checkpoints and party like it's 1999. This year marks the 10th Anniversary of the rally, so it will be the biggest and best yet. With stops in S.F., L.A., S.D., Vegas, China and even North Korea. This is also our first invitation to go and with it only five months away all we need now is to figure out what kind of car we are taking.

Since the rally is stopping in San Diego, there is a good possibility of a Gumball 3000 pop-up shop too. Stay tuned for more info as we work things out.

We want to thank Max for being so cool to us and also inviting us to be part of this amazing event. Can't wait to step foot on North Korean soil.

I remember Willy (Birdhouse/Workshop) telling me crazy stories of the time he went with Tony Hawk and the Birdhouse skaters.  Its kinda like the Amazing Race with over the top parties at each pit stop... Someone sponsor me to do the race!  Its only $50,000 per person.  HAHA
