July of this last summer, Mike and Pat rounded out a three-week European tour, making stops at a number of top European Trade shows and giving the continent a good run for its money. Making the Bright Trade Show happen was pure craziness. Having just finished up at the Outerspace Show in Barcelona, the two headed for the airport circa 3am after a late night of partying in order to catch their flight to Frankfurt, only to find that the airport labeled “Barcelona” on their itinerary was actually 1.5 hours away. So it went like this: 1.5 hour train to the right airport, flight to Germany but the wrong airport again, 1.5 hour bus ride to Frankfurt, trolley to the hotel, crazy-quick cat nap, trolley to the show for set-up… only to find that the show was in an old jail and that their “booth” was actually a completely barren old office. Luckily with the help of their friends from Sneakers Mag the two were able to turn the office into a showroom using only fishing-line and wire. The show turned out to be a success and Akomplice made a lot of great connections. Shooting you a time-warp to let you know what we’ve been up to over the past year at various times. Busy, busy and still lots of past stories to recount: Japan, Europe, the islands… Stay tuned. Check out more from Bright after the jump.
