LETTER
A
mazing to see us already six months into the new year. It is almost surreal on how time seems to stand still one moment and then fly by in other moments. With what seemed like a never ending winter, we jumped straight into some great weather where temperatures are encouraging to getting out to ride or cruise, depending on your style of the day. It’s that time of year we call the 71 Days of Summer with Grease Inc. and Garage71. The days are longer and the sunsets seem to bring a glow to a healthy landscape full of life. This is our very best time of year we enjoy each week with all our readers and listeners. It is what breathes life into what we do... During this time, we also look back and think on what’s ahead as we already plan for the winter months, but also see where we came from a year ago. It is right around the corner for 10 years for us as a crew. We have experienced quite a lot over the years with this year showing some new trends and questions. We have heard over and over again a message we have tried to talk about for years, and that is what is happening with the current scene? Where is it going? What is the market these days? Who for that fact is our market anymore? I love getting into this debate with spoon fed corporate guys. All they do is give you the spreadsheet version of what their company says. Is that the truth? Does corporate have all the answers? Far from it. If that were the case then H-D’s sales would not have fallen so drastically when the new 2018’s were released. That is a clear sign that

you are not relating to your rider at any level. Now, the MC’s are great machines, don’t get me wrong, but the day of buying a new bagger every year to five years is over. That trend is gone. But, what about focusing on the forty-eight? Why is it that the new rider is willing to dive into learning how to piece together a cafe or a started traditional rod? It is because the new age of rider is completely engaged in their family or in themselves. The new age is not driven as much by brands, but by a style personal to their own taste. They are creating a foundation for their family. Many have just returned from years being oversees and it’s about creating roots and getting settled in an unsettling world. It is about not following trends but creating new trends. It’s about creating more liberties focused on close friends and small families. It’s about the actual ride rather than just a bar. It’s about a lifestyle that has been sold for decades, but now includes a different generation with a very different attitude. With the summer here, we are focused on working with some amazing locations to provide a great mixture of events that support the above trends as we see it. We will be announcing the return of the 5th year of the Rockabilly Rumble at Southern Devil Harley-Davidson, where we will be hosting a Mommy & Me or Daddy & Me kind of show. We want to include families in as much as possible. It is the generations that continue to traditions, and if we do not include, than how is something going to last? Also, we are working on another new show called the Carolina Shakedown with Timms Harley-Davidson in Anderson, SC. We love the Carolinas! Great people. Great scene. Good times. Here will be a summer party throwdown sometime in September, so you have to stay tuned to Garage71 to hear all the summer announcements, not to mention the many events that return over and over each year. Well, get out there and enjoy a little sunshine. Take the time this summer to take a new adventure, as we are headed to Cuba for a week where sun, heritage, tradition, nostalgia, rum, and cigars all mix together. I’ll be looking forward to whatever new adventures I can find in a country where there is no liberty. I am looking forward to seeing all the old cars and rides. This will be one of the most interesting trips I think I could foresee. Until our return, keep it real, because that is what life’s about!

n April I had the pleasure of attending Viva 21, and it lived up to everything I had imagined! It was five days of non-stop music, shows, pinups, fashion, and fun! I tried to take everyone's advice and wear the right shoes, but I ended up with blisters on the first day. That was my only complaint the whole time. As I sit here and recall all of the highlights, it really is worth the trip, if you have never gone. I told myself and my husband from the beginning that I didn't want to plan every minute, and I really wanted to enjoy the music and people watching. I would have to say that was the right thing to do, as it's impossible to see everything, anyway. I made a list of my "must do's" and the rest we played by ear. We were able to catch some amazing bands and watch swing dancers twice our age that put us to shame. We laughed at ourselves every night as we struggled to keep up with

sleep, and they were dancing like crazy. It was fun to see, though! Some of my favorite bands and performers were the Starjays, Delta Bombers (amazing!), Danny McVey (so good!), Little Lesley & the Bloodshots (love her!), and Matt & the Peabody Ducks. Those are just a few that stand out in my memory, but let's talk about the headliners at the car show. We saw the legendary Jerry Lee Lewis and he put on a great show! It was an honor to see him perform. The Stray Cats were fantastic, just as I had expected. That is one of the bands that I grew up listening to and to see them as an adult was really a nostalgic feeling! Speaking of the car show, there were hundreds of gorgeous cars to look at. It was cool to see more of the west coast style that we don't see here often. Shopping was definitely happening at the car show too! There were tons of vendors, and it was so exciting meeting some of the owners of companies that I have worked with over the years. One of my favorite is Bow and Crossbones, and I was able to meet Cam, the amazing boss lady there! She was a sweetheart for sure. The pinup contest was on my list, of course. So, it was one of the highlights of Saturday. I admire them for being so confident in front of so many people! During one of the meet-ups, I was able to meet Miss Victory Violet. She is an inspiration for many, so beautiful and kind! I ran into The Ginger Pinup several times. She lives in Atlanta too, so it was nice to have another local lady there! Her true vintage style is gorgeous. Style and fashion are a huge part of the event too, with everyone going all out for their looks. The fashion show on Friday afternoon was great. The designers put so much love into their work; it was fun to see it put to life with models and music. I would have to say Ains & Elke Stylehaus doing a Disney theme was memorable and gorgeous to watch. The Swearing Parrot was really fun too, and our friends from Indiana, The Dirty Greaser and Michelle, were in the show. Retro-Verte had some beautiful designs, too! I planned all of my outfits weeks ahead of time and it was

fun to finally wear them. I didn't change five times a day like some, though! I did a day and evening look, for the most part. I wore designs from Ticci Rockabilly, Hearts and Found, Gatsbylady London, Vivien of Holloway, Karina Dresses, My Vintage Look, and Trashy Diva. While I was there, I did some promoting for Trashy Diva. Joey and I wore a matching outfit! It was fun and a big hit! He also repped Grease Inc. on one of the embroidered shop shirts. The pool party Sunday was another great time and fun for people watching and meeting people. The drinks were delicious, too! Some of the vintage swimsuits were amazing! We also took some time for sightseeing in Vegas. We took a couple of trips to the Arts District for antiquing and checking out local bars. ReBar is one that stood out, where you can buy anything they have on display. It was a unique bar! We also caught a burlesque show at the theater in the backyard there. If you have never been to a Viva, put it on your bucket list! I hope to make it back again one day. I wouldn't change a thing from this trip.
