For some pretty chilly weather these models made EESA's first fashion show a success.

EESA Lux Layering, the first to categorize lifestyle performance, just held their first annual sales meeting in their home town of Waterbury, Vermont. Thanks to Cleary and the EESA family, I found myself with an invitation and a ticket to come and attend the festivities. Responsible parties; Cleary (developer, sales & marketing), Agatha Kessler (sales & marketing), Julianne Bayer (product manager), Lorena Chamberlin (product design) and Kevin Dopp (product design). This turned out to be a weekend to remember...

After ripping a couple of laps at opening day up at Breckenridge I hauled ass to the airport. Don't we love the airport?! Yeah, well after almost missing my first flight i was pumped to sit back and enjoy the ride. Just half way through my connecting flight I noticed my neighbor to the right, Dan Sorcinelli, busting out the new issue of SNOWBOARD MAG. Now this had been a lonely trip w/out any of the most recent issues in my laptop bag. (Lucky, Nate, can ya help me out here?) Never before meeting Dan I simply leaned over and asked "Who got the cover"? A simple reply, "Kass". Little did i know Dan was in town for the EESA sales meeting. Dan maintains the northwest territory. Great Adidas Dan.

The first night consisted of a mellow evening at Waterbury Wings. The common meeting spot for all the world travelers. EESA had sales force coming in from as far as New Zealand (AWOL, Lee & Tania), Germany (Good Quetion Supplies, Eric Bruweleit & Thorsten Hohne), United Kingdom (Nick Atkins) and Switzerland (Christophe Buehlmann). The infamous Canadian Cartel was also in effect, Seb Carbone, Joel Hersey, Jay Woon, Stef Cott and Brady Stoddard's tech rep Taneya Nash. This collection of Canadians handles all business north of the border. From the U.S. side of sales were Tim Stuart, Chris Coleman, Dan Sorcinelli and John Graham. Walt Lacey from our beloved rockies region was on the itinerary but ran into a travel discrepancy.

After a long day at the office, the sales meeting, we all looked forward to the dinner, fashion show and party to follow...

Dinner party. Cleary brought in an awesome chef that filled us with quality party fuel!

Cleary, Agatha and Shitguy.

Our euro amigos. The Office was packed!

The Canadian Cartel was just getting warmed up! After all, it was Joel's B-day...

Cleary's wife Rose, Jules, Cleary and Agatha.

After a serious dinner session at the EESA world headquarters we all ventured down to the Waterbury Rod & Game Club to check out the fashion show. With band jamming, fire burning and beers flowing from Harpoon Brewery the show went on with great success...

Many showed up to see what EESA had up their sleeves...

The band even came styled in EESA!

After the fashion show the band continued to jam on, the beers kept flowing, the Canadians were drinking something else and there was a STREAKER. A streaker. You know, "Frank the tank". Yup. People had such a good time this Saturday night that some just felt like getting naked. Taneya and I were found right in his path, layed out flat. A streaker.

Party on...

Yan Dofin. Warm by the fire.

Eric via Deutschland.

Joel and Yan. These two have fun.

Maybe what Yan was actually seeing when rolling...

The crowd stood strong. Sharing the warmth around the bonfire.

Joel found warmth elsewhere...

...even as elsewhere as Jesse Fox.

Christophe getting his swivel hip on.

Good peeps.

Canadians fockn' rule.

EESA is the first to create a category for lifestyle performance, developing a layering system that works snowflake to beachbreak, and everywhere in between.

Keep your eyes peeled for EESA Products in your area. If you can't find them, email EESA directly at www.eesa.com or www.myspace.com/eesaclothing for ordering info.
