When i heard about the SOLE FLY's opening i felt this could be the perfect chance to show half of Miami that I'm just not a writer on d3adstock nor a shoe collector.. so I hit them up...and i spoke to one of the employees there.... he took down my information and said he was going to call me back that same day with an answer.... THEY NEVER CALLED.... so i don't jump to conclusions... i put a link of their Facebook page showing my status and the many people wanting to see me out their... in my head I'm like "These people are most def going to want me there..." THEY DELETE THE POST..... that's when i lost my cool.....
After one of the owner's which is the cooler one hit me up "This is Danny the owner.Let me know if there is a problem as I am not aware of any of this...thanks D." I explained to him my situation and why i was mad... he apologized so i was like okay ill give them the benefit of doubt.... I end up painting at SOLE FLY.... they give me a little section their under the roof saying it would be a better view for those who would be watching me paint.... 4 hours go by the sun is kicking as well as the heat... I see everyone in the store coming in with water bottles with not a dot of sweat of their faces due to the AC and store they were in.... I ask around and the bouncer gets me one....
all i kept getting were the words from them like "WOW" "AMAZING" KEEP IT UP" ALMOST DONE" where the fuck are the "HEY ARE YOU OK?" " WOULD YOU LIKE A WATER?" "WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME IN" mind you they are doing nothing to entertain the public my painting was the only entertainment i was doing out there....
Between 4 to 5 pm the rain brakes out... making me pick up my stuff.... and had to put it aside.... not once did anyone ask me if I wanted to go in...MIND YOU IM THE FUCKING ARTIST.... so i get pissed and i walk inside right by the bouncer.... and chill inside 20 mins later they kick me out.... i was like WTF is this....Im thinking im suppose to be in there.... so i tell them can i at least get my painting in there so it don't get wet.... they tell me " WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO WITH THIS" mind you these guy has to be fucking retarded..... i just finished telling him to put it away... i tell him put it in the back... 2 hours later the rain goes away i tell em "CAN I FINISH MY PAINTING???" You will not guess what they tell me...
"FINISH IT AT PAYLESS THEIR IS SPACE OVER THERE"
When i heard this I was shocked... then my hate came out and started to get hot....
After JORDAN shows up (To FAMILY AND FRIENDS ONLY)
I ask can I get my painting and backpack... I get a "Can you pick it up tomorrow??...."
I'm like YOUR SERIOUS??
Im not leaving with out my stuff.. mind you my Nikon is in my bag....
they would tell me Ill go get it... so they would keep me from seeing Jordan even tho i saw the man already when i caught a breather.... They hand me all my stuff all pissed off like their the ones that are pissed off.... I get into a verbal fight with one of the "GROUPIES" that things he owns SOLE FLY...
After all of this.... I got interviewed by 3 websites...... and was given cards too... and met wonderful people ill be working with.... so SOLE FLY lost... and I won... in reality...
By the way SOLE FLY tell your "Want to be Owners to keep your mouth shut with those threats cause i wont be doing the knocking at your store the police will with my police report" ;)
