All my friends…

December 10th, 2008

A few weeks ago we were invited to show off some of our creations at the Make:TV booth at the PBS programming fair.  Chris, Montrell, and I packed up the Naruto bike and the motorized skateboard and headed over to the Houston Intercontinental Hotel.  We were hanging out at the booth when some guys came up and started checking out the bike and talking to us.  They were really excited about the bike and asked us if we knew the Lowrider song (which they then sang).

As they were leaving, I asked them why they were at the PBS gathering and they informed me that they were members of the band War and that they had written the Lowrider song.  AWESOME!  Of course, we had to get a picture.

Lowriding with WAR

Here is Lonnie Jordan (the only remaining original member of the band) and a friend (sorry, I didn’t get your name) with Chris and Montrell.
