DUB Show 2012,
Exclusive Coverage
Written by Andrew Gates
On August 26, 2012 the DUB show, sponsored by Monster Energy, rolled into the Los Angeles Convention Center and what a show it was. It had been a while since I last attended a DUB show and as soon as I stepped in the door I remembered what I was missing: beautiful girls, fat rides and, of course, the music. The atmosphere is always something to revel in. You can feel the testosterone in the air as you walk down the aisles and aisles of cars. These guys and gals put a ton of hours and dollars into making their cars these prized specimens. It’s no wonder they get a day to celebrate this love for the automobile.
Not only does the DUB show help these individuals celebrate their love for cars, it also gives the patrons a chance to celebrate the love for the booth babes. There’s something to be said about a beautiful girl posing next to or on top of a sick whip.
The DUB show also hosts a variety of music acts which we enjoyed hearing throughout the show. The only downfall that I saw was the scheduling of the music acts. We stayed the whole show to see the likes of Akon and then, late in to the evening, someone announces, “the show is over, please exit the building and remember this is a family venue. Thanks for coming.” This was a huge disappointment and made we wonder why they hadn’t put Akon on sooner, if in fact he was there to perform. I hope they work out the scheduling kinks to make it a more seamless experience for next year.
However, overall, the show was a great time and we’ll be looking forward to next year. Until then, enjoy these photos from the show and picture me rollin’!
