We pulled it off Boomboxery Style :cool:

Members Fresh Produce, Mac Daddy Freshness, SLO and his wife and son as well as myself ROCKED the LA Beat Swap, this time located in the Art's district at The Container Yard in downtown Los Angeles.

I had never been this this venue before, it was almost like a catacomb of graffiti and vendors selling the "Real" Hip-Hop culture and beyond. I found vintage Rock and Metal there too.

This is not the first time we have done this, but for sure, this was the biggest response.

LITERALLY...All we had to do, was either

A) Set the radio's in a group on a picnic table and camera's came out of nowhere! People with high end camera's, GOPRO film work, there was even a Drone filming from above. People posed their baby's, their dogs, themselves all followed with "I used to have one of those".

OR

B) Stand in the walk way, blaring our radio's, some on the ground, some by strap, sun glasses on tight and the cameras came out like we just stepped out of a limo onto the red carpet.
THAT IS ROCK STAR!

I GOT AN INSTAGRAM UPDATE WHILE AT THE EVENT, FROM A GIRL WHO WAS TAKING PICTURES AND POSTING LIVE!

There were a TON of pictures taken, here are some of mine...

I decided to take out the 975. When I got there, set it down on the table and took a step back, I realized, I HAVE NEVER TAKEN THIS RADIO OUT ON THE STREET! :jawdrop:
I a so glad I did :yes:

POST'EM UP!

Wow! An event like this is like nothing else! I'm so glad it was a big hit. Your description of how you and the boomboxes were greeted is absolutely epic. I'm so glad people out their pay the proper respect to this culture. Keep the pictures coming and please provide any links to sites that may have more coverage of this event.

I'll let you know when it's going down. You bring a 5350 with you for the beach and then sell it to me to pay for the trip PLUS you don't have to lug it home! :lol:

We had a great L.A. day full of LOUD thumpin music, hip hop dancers, vinyl records, cassette tapes, vendors of every kind, graffiti, old cars, food trucks, and our classic Boomboxes were a BIG HIT. The Beat swapmeet was FRESH. Here's some scenes from the day, hope you all enjoy em as much as my wife and I enjoyed takin em. Heres a taste of So Cal for you!

One of the Beat swapmeet photographers took this pic of my son.
