COMUNE HITS VEGAS

This past month the COMUИE crew headed out Vegas for a week long adventure. Starting off the trip with Capsule Tradeshow to preview COMUNE’s Spring 2011 line moving into multiple late evenings at The Palms and ending the trip in celebration of COMUИE VP of Marketing, Julie Shumaker’s Birthday which included a baller penthouse suite at The Palms, a special break-dance appearance by Clifford Lidell, a private VIP cabana for the COMUИE crew at Rain Nightclub’s Z-Trip performance, and dancing until the sun came up which ended in 6am strip club hunting and everyone blacking out. Thus it wouldn’t have been Vegas without fighting off the desert heat while shot gunning beers poolside, blackjack tutorial with “double down” King Davis and memories with the COMUИE crew that will last a lifetime. Oh and not to forget Mike Q. getting us home in 2.5 hours. Vegas will never be the same…
