Happy New Year!

December 29, 2008

Happy new year from all of us at blaq! Thanks for making our past year so great.

We've got a lot of things to look forward to with the coming year. We have a number of press reviews coming up, we're sponsoring a ton of AlleyCats, and we're lining up a pile of new products. We don't want to give too much away, but we have a few more messenger bag sizes, backpacks, laptop bags and sleeves, and we'll have a number of other accessories coming out between now and spring. Look for bars, forks, and some new frames from gonzo coming early spring as well. We're also monkeying with the site design, so be sure to let us know if you like it!

Also - if you didn't notice, we added a custom bags link where we're you can check out some of our custom work. It's the page to watch as we do more and more custom work for all you guys.

Here's to the New Year, hope your hangover isn't all that bad!

Council of Doom Premier Wrapup

December 15, 2008

First off, big thanks to everyone who came out on Friday, Shauna @ ROC BAR, Dead Letter Room, and Jeff @ doom! We definitely weren't expecting so many folks to ride in, that made our night. On total, we raised over $100 for the bike messenger emergency fund, so big thanks out to everyone who bid on stuff and bought raffle tickets! Now some pics thanks again to Chris Barnes:

This event is all ages, and only costs $1 at the door (free if you ride your bike!). There will be a silent auction, with all proceeds from the event to benefit the bicycle messenger emergency fund.

New Comment System!

October 26, 2008

Hey, there's a new feature on blaq design - user comments! You can view any comments, and comment on any post by clicking on the comments link at the bottom of the post (or on the post title itself). It's pretty self-explanatory really, it's not like we reinvented the wheel! We'd love to hear from you (and we'll be happy to respond), so please feel free.

Check back in the coming week as well - we will likely be debuting our messenger bags for your buying pleasure!
