{...the rumor mill...}

You can't believe everything you read on the internet.
But if you heard a rumor about a Sseko d'USA tour, I am here to tell you that that is a certifiable, verifiable, undeniable fact.
In just a couple of days we will embark on said tour. We are so excited to hit the road and start meeting new friends and spreading the Sseko love.
Here is the deal. And here is where you (yes, you!) come in:
1.) We want to meet you. Have friends that you think would love Sseko? We want to meet them too. A huge part of this journey is building relationships as we tell our story. We want to meet people who are passionate about the things we love. And we want to meet friends doing awesome stuff in totally different ways.
2.) Events! Would you be willing to gather some friends and host an event? This can be anything from our traditional sandal house party (ie. gather friends, eat some food, sell some sandals) to a backyard BBQ or a gathering at a local coffee shop to discuss the things Sseko cares about. We are still growing and learning a lot. We'd love to hear your thoughts about a whole host of issues. If you live in or near some of the cities we'll be journeying to, we'd just be pleased as punch if you'd host an event.
3.) New retail partners! Part of our journey will include finding new retail partners to join us. If you know of a local store in any of the cities we will be visiting that you think might love Sseko, will you let us know about them? Better yet, next time you stop in, go ahead and show them your Ssekos (you DO wear them everyday, right?) and give them our contact info if they are interested and would like more information (liz@ssekodesigns.com) We'd love to drop by and meet them if they are interested in partnering with us.
4.) Lastly, we are still looking for places to stay along the way. Luckily, we have a sweet mattress pad for the back of the Sseko mobile, but if you (or your great-aunt Boo Boo for that matter) has an extra room (or couch?) and would be willing to have us, we do make great Butternut Squash Pizza. (But, that is about it :)
We'll keep you updated about our journey through the blog and the "Road Trip" tab on this here website.
We'll also be doing fun surprise events and giveaways along the way. So follow us on Twitter to join the mobile party!
I am also including our tentative schedule for Phase One below. Remember, this is just a tentative schedule! If your city is not included but on the route (or near the route) please let us know!
Thanks for being a part of this journey. I hope we get to hang out soon!
Email us at liz@ssekodesigns.com if any of the above strikes your fancy!
Love,
Liz and The Sseko Squad

What about the East Coast!? We would LOVE to have you!
It is possible!! We are going to Uganda in December and when we get back, we will reevaluate and decide if we can swing phase two. If so, the East coast it is! Florida to NY!
Hi Liz,
I just love all your creative ideas! I just posted about you on my blog if you don't mind. I'll keep in touch with you if I'm able to plan a fun get together event. I'm located in downtown Huntington Beach, CA! This will be so much fun! love, Daile. {dailecwilson.blogspot.com}
