      As I walk Into the Congress Center in downtown Atlanta, I can feel the energy, and I had not gotten into the center really good. There were children selling Programs,Barbers and stylist congregating and Politicking about the show and the things they would do once they got back to the shop, and the was only the second day in, and they were already excited about the classes they had taken, and the products they had come across at the show, once I saw and heard those things, I knew it would really be a weekend to remember.

Now this Booth was a Booth that was really jumping and flowing with Energy, the way that they Marketed themselves was unbelievable I men they had the Clippers going, the finger Razors moving, the music blasting, and crowd participation in play, it was like going out to the club on a Friday night and dancing with all the girls....

I must say that there team really did move in unison, and no one was lift out. From the way that they sold there T-shirts, to the way they cut the Hair, everything looked like it all moved like a well oiled machine. I must say they did a great job in that Booth

While I was there I got to chop it up with the owner and maker of Celebrity Black, this Brother is such a humble guy. He make the Product himself by hand right now, he says he created this product because he noticed that other products did not provide the look or the results that he would be trying to reach, so he went into his lab to come out with this, it is an all natural product, with a smoother finish, and the right amount of gloss to go with it. this Brother was a real force in the show, he took the show by storm with his New product, and the skills his son displayed at the show were awesome the way he shine his light on this event really should the Love and passion he has for this industry. We see you Germaine walker and we wish youthe Best of luck with you Celebrity Black....

       This was truly A night to be remembered, it was a night where Barbers around the Country came together for one common goal. The goal of advancing the Barber industry, there were Barbers in this room from Baltimore like Benny Da Barber, From Ohio like Chevezz M. Moman, and Christopher Burke.  Brothers that have a very Direct effect on the way that I see this Industry today. This was a night where the Love of the game was expressed in a way that I have never seen or felt before.

We talked about things like Building our own Products, helping each other to grow in our businesses in ways  that would promote unity and consolidate the industry in a way that would never have been done before in our Business. There were Barbers talking about how they became apart of the great lifestyle and Game we/I am a part of, we talked about ways that we could move this industry forward, without the help or influence of outside entrust. There were in some that spoke on the true definition of  BarberLove which is something that was really shown in this room that night....
