$NorCal Burton rep Trevor Patterson, Burton\'s Marc Berardi and Brad Fisher giving us the lowdown on luggage.$

$Turns out the Burton luggage set we liked the most is for \"women.\" Really?$

$Mervin Co-Founder Pete Saari, Bob \"Rep of the Year\" Stanislaus, and Tafari Currie swinging big bunches.$

$It was all pickles and bananas in the Mervin Manufacturing zone. Wonder when they\'re coming out with the cucumber salad board?$

$Omatic founder Jason Kanes and the Sex. . . no wait Eco sells board. Go Green and make money. As they say: \"It\'s not a lie, if you believe it.\"$

$Big Papa Paul Alden is pretty proud of his son\'s success with Skullcandy. \"The things Rick is doing now is not from me,\" he said. \"He gets all this from his mother.\"$

$Captita\'s Blue Montgomery and Snow Con\'s John Logic.$

$If you take a really close look at the graphics on the Capita Stairstepper Extreme you\'ll notice that all the pictures on the boards are the same girl? So who is this celebrity chameleon?$

$Capita\'s headwear collection.$

$DCP, JP Solberg, and Romain de Marchi\'s message: go snowboard, worry about the rest later.$

$Capita\'s Black Death Inc. and a new spokesperson, Ms. Sexy Death. Now all she needs is some bad PR and she\'ll sell a million.$

$While we couldn\'t get the official word from Flow Creative Director Dan Watts, it appears that Tara Dakides is on the team.$

$Flow\'s Go Riding Center program is designed to make renting snowboards easy. This completely symmetrical Evolve binding can be quickly switched goofy to regular or removed with the flip of a latch. It\'s the best rental binding we\'ve ever seen.$

$Electric goggles are looking pretty good, too. But it\'s hard to tell when they\'re behind plastic.$

$Remember when Neff didn\'t even have a booth? It was full all week.$

$The only thing missing from the Stepchild Super Mega Ltd Edition is the bindings and we\'re good to go.$

$We met a bunch of new employees at The Program. And they were very nice. And no, we don\'t mean Tonino. He\'s just standing in front of their booth.$

$At Tech Nine the bindings match the boards and the boards match the kits. It\'s the Garanimals of snowboarding.$

$Salomon\'s Backyard boards. You know for carrying around from rail to rail.$

$We\'ve been riding Salomon boots for years, but for those who want the epic Salomon fit without the name Bonfire has a solution.$

$From all the prints we saw this year\'s Bonfire stuff looks pretty solid.$

$This is where Bobby Meeks keeps the new Nike Zoom Kaiju\'s.$

$Wonder if Kanye West has a pair of these Zoom Kaiju\'s with a white swoosh?$

$Don\'t Haight. . .$

$Salty Peaks\' Dennis Nazari and Nitro\'s Tommy Delago$

$Snowboarder Editor Pat Bridges and Publisher Chris \"Etree\" Englesman representing a thing called a magazine. . . remember those?$

$O\'Neill$

$Jeff and Jessie Lu Galbraith, Matt Wibby, and the Funny Feelings team invited us to dinner. Sadly we\'d just paid $35 for three fish tacos, beans and rice at the Border Grill.$

$Mark Sullivan and JP Stoermer have so much going on that it\'s difficult to know where to start, although the limited edition Harpoon powder board looked pretty good place to start.$

$We nearly got run over by Gene Simmons and his sleepy entourage. He didn\'t say anything, but we were nearly hypnotized by his hair. It\'s really strange.$
