Just did a wild thing and sent an e-mail to Odd Molly, asking if they would sponsor me with money. Their clothes are nice but not made for skateboarding in. I really, really hope they will help me out! (Since the co-founder is a skateboarder you'll figure he would bite on to this but we'll just have to wait and see).
Good night!

Hollywood!
Mail sent to Hollywood about them sponsoring my project! I also went in to Ohana yesterday and talked to the owner Andreas and he seems very positive about it too.
Now I think I need to get out and improve my street (after I saw this video I think the Kenyan skaters have to teach me, instead of me teaching them!)

post that was supposed to come up earlier
Today I went into the big Hollywood store here in Gothenburg and talked to them about maybe sponsoring me. They were very positive about it and basically just write an e-mail to them that says what I want from them, what they would get in return and what the project is about. I'm so happy that so many shows interrest in what I'm going to do!
I also talked to my dads fiancees best friend, Love, and she said that she would try to help me get some shoes and that I probably could borrow her camera for the Kenya trip. I will in first hand try to get a camera on my own but if I don't manage that it feels really good to have a back-up plan!
Tomorrow I'll pop by Universeum and see if they maybe could help me out. Wish me luck!

Camera and tickets
Was about to book our Kenya tickets (wich we thankfully found for lot less money than what we expected!) but we run in to some problems. You have to bring the card you payed with for varification and since we planned on having my dad pay and then transfer the money to his account we had to change that. But none of us had that large amount of money in their account we hjave to transfer it to my account and then have me pay. But neither Elinor or Emily could do it tonight so we just have to wait yet another day for having our tickets booked.
Tomorrow I'm heading out to hopefully get another sponsor for my project. I've planned on asking the skateshops of Gothenburg to sponsor me with boards but rethinked and will now adk them for clothes and shoes (as I think 10 boards will be enough to bring with me).
I will also look around to maybe buy a camera and an Ipod to use for the project. Maybe I'll be able to attract a money sponsor aswell.
Since we are also going to watch the whale sharks and maybe collect some money for the East African Whale Shark Trust and do some volunteering (http://www.giantsharks.org/pages/projects.html#volunteer) I thought maybe we could get some spons and PR from universeum, a big science center here in Gothenburg, wich has earlier shown great interrest in saving the whale sharks. It's worth a try!

Treasure!!
Feels like I just found a treasure. Found this while looking around on the internet http://www.facebook.com/pages/Skateboarding-Society-of-Kenya-SSK/208871352476479 . Liked it and wrote on the wall. After a couple of minutes I got a message from a guy named Leo who is a skateboarder in Kenya. So I now have a "skater" contact in Kenya!

ALL GIRLS CAMP!
Just got home after a weekend at the skatepark. Me and Joffa arranged a girl camp for this weekend and alot of girls showed up. Will post some photos and maybe videos from the weekend later but as for now you'll only get some lines of words. Talked to the girls about my project and they said they would help me out and they also thought it was an great idea, which I'm stoked to hear! Can't wait to really get going!
