Introducing Eric the Intern



Hi, I'm Eric the Intern, and I'm happy to post the first actual blog that isn't news-related. For anyone who doesn't already know how I came about clinching the prestigious Intern title, let me enlighten you. I'm probably the biggest fan ever of the bands Something Corporate and Jack's Mannequin, which many of you know Jeff and Chad are great friends with. One day I was Myspacing and came across Something Corporate drummer Brian Ireland's page and a picture of him from a Hozell "photo shoot." So from there I checked out the website and noticed they had taken on interns in the past, and the rest is history.

A little about myself -

I hail from a place most West Coasters know little about, Ohio. If you want to learn a thing or two about leisure, ask a Buckeye. Most of us have spent many a day cheering on the best college football team in the nation, playing corn-hole, lots of drinking games (if you have not heard of Leagueeee, I feel sorry for you), and lots of trips to the movies and the pool. Hanging with friends and family is the most important thing in my life, followed closely by my love of music. I really started getting into fashion when I spent a month in Australia and New Zealand, where I fell in love with beach culture. I like to ride the line between completely wild and totally conservative when it comes to my style, as well as my life I'd say; it makes for a good combination. I'd really like to start my own label someday or run my own store, so I feel very lucky to get the chance to work at Hozell. Anyway that's enough for now, here's a list of some favorite things of mine.

Favorite Movie: Lords of Dogtown
Favorite Song: "Watch the Sky" by Something Corporate
Favorite Bands: Something Corporate, Jack's Mannequin, Hit the Lights, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, The Beach Boys, Angels & Airwaves
Favorite Food: FISH TACOS, the right fish taco diet will get you absolutely ripped...so they say.
Favorite Hozell Products: Rushmore polo, Left Coast v-neck, 9 Stars tee, Bronzing tee, Sea Birds polo, Fore Change polo, Red Crescent hoodie, Orange 7 O'Clock raglan.

O-H!...
