Notable quotes
“The hyper elite extreme like super goober pinball... the competitive nature of it and then the high performance the mental kind of space... it just blows my mind”
“Where is this coming from? And it ended up to be a great collaboration. And I have, I don't know, maybe 10 of her hoodies online. An American Olympian contacted me. She's a poet. She's an author. She's a singer. She's an Olympian. She's a national champion. And she's a high jumper”
“It's cyber, goth, counterculture, gauche couture. I'm like, what is that? Where's the pinball in that? I couldn't quite land it in the right place.”
“You're so immersed in the game that the game is you and you're the game. And that's the kind of visual representation they wanted off a hoodie for their league.”
“No one's making you do it. And it's totally for the love and it's well won and very much appreciated.”
“I'm like, okay, we're just having fun here. You know, let's see how well I can do and go from there. But any kind of victory or any good score or anything like that was just gravy anyway.”
“51 people there. It was sold out quickly. And I had a waiting list of 33.”
