The whirlwind of fall....

RocknSocks has been on the road for most of the summer, bringing funky foot fashion to festivals around the west. We also made it out east for the DC Green Festival! It was great to be able to introduce our socks to a whole new community. People were loving the tall socks! It was so wonderful to get such a positive response.

More and more stores too are now buying RocknSocks, so people around the country can now get a few pairs in their favorite boutique or natural foods store. From Madison, WI to Chapel Hill, NC; Alberta, Canada to Santa Fe, NM; and of course all up and down the west coast, RocknSocks is hot on the scene.

We did a fun faerie photoshoot this summer with photographer Geneva Shanti and models Amy & Liz. (Thanks ladies!)

Recently we were featured in Aura Magazine (www.auramag.com). I was interviewed about the company and had a chance to share my vision of RocknSocks. You can read it on pages 42 & 43. We also had a featurette in Common Ground Magazine. We are grateful for all the press.

So as summer turns to fall we are preparing for a few great events in San Francisco. RocknSocks will be vending at the Noe Valley Harvest Festival on October 24 and the West Fest's 40th Anniversary Celebration of Woodstock on October 25th at Speedway Meadow in Golden Gate Park. And soon after that we will be at the San Francisco Green Festival on November 13, 14 & 15. Stay tuned for more details. Hope to see you soon.

RocknSocks at Bobolink

So here we go... Summer is here and RocknSocks is ready to roll on in to a festival near you...if you are in Northern California that is.

We just returned from Bobolink Music Festival. A super fun camp-out in the woods along the Feather river. Lovely weather, warm nights. We raged it with the Sock Wagon at night! Bobolink was the very first place we busted out the wagon two years ago. My how the time has flown. We had one original design then, the ISIS over the knee socks and now we have over 100 different styles, sizes and colors. Amazing what a few years will do.

Check out this old photo from Bobolink 2007. I am wearing the Isis while riding the trike past the bar stage.

One of my favorite moments was when a customer shouted out in the dark: "Are you kidding me, socks right here now, I sooo need them, my feet are getting all blistered from walking in wet shoes. You are saving my night!" - And that is why we created RocknSocks... so people can get their freshies when they NEED them.
