This year I was bringing my good friend from Canada, Whitney Chase to the show. It was her first time in the San Francisco / Bay Area. I told her the basics of what I experienced in the previous years at Blox. We arrived early but met with a small delay due to the SF Fire Marshall. As the lined build, and we waited for our entry, I heard commotion from the staff talking about different floors in the abandon factory. I did not recall a different floor on my last Blox visit. The gates open, and it was time to go in. We we’re greeted by the usual Pokey stick giveaways and a couple cars before entering the warehouse, but as soon as I turned the corner to enter, my excitement raised. I remember on my last post, I typed “Blox Evolution definitely stepped up their production levels, and I can’t wait until next year. With the amount of attendance, and the increase amount of venders, I expect next year to be a bigger mix of car culture, and hot models.” I didn’t expect them to build 3 floors….
As one of the first in, I quickly climbed the newly constructed 3 story structure. Vendors are now placed together, on the top floor, a model lounge set and DJ booth set on the 2nd floor, with all the cars parked under the structure, and the main stage sitting smack in the middle of the warehouse. The set up was amazing. The natural lighting from the windows of the once abandon warehouse was still present, giving each vehicle and amazing look. Since this was Whitney’s first event in San Francisco, my explanation of how Blox was last year, was just destroyed by the production that Blox put into this year.
The outside layout slightly changed, with another stage outside, and the food trucks lined with the buildings exterior. It seems as if there were more cars and vendors than last year, and the competition between car teams have stepped up with some new cars I have never see in other shows. The inside layout was perfect, centering the main stage, and having the cars all throughout the venue. The model lounge upstairs by MSTR Stag seam a bit cramped however but people were able to still meet and greet their favorite models. The top floor housed all the vendors, and the space between the vehicles and vendors was well distributed to avoid clutter. As I went through the venue, I manage to meet some of the vendors, and spectators, all in which they agree, that Blox has really step up the production level of what car show culture should be about.
Blox Evo has really out done their last previous shows, and with careful planning, I wouldn’t be surprised if they manage to impress me next year. The production was amazing, and organization was very well thought. It’s time for other productions to start stepping up their game. Blox just set the standard.

Now I’ve been to these events since high school, when Hot Import Nights was in San Meteo, and show casing VIP Cars with models like Nikki Cash, Tila Nguyen (Tila Taquila Yep) and Natasha Yi. Every year was different with Hot Import Nights. This year was another great year by the production team. The placement of vehicles together with the stage worked in a way where everything can be kept together. Unlike some other car shows that line up cars a million miles away from the stage…. But this was very well kept.
Yea I got there late… But it was still a million degrees inside the Pavillon Hall. I happen to enter from the side of the Pavillon where I was met with the RC drifting circuit. Well knowing myself I kinda stayed their a bit checking out the techs working on their gear. I love that the RC circuits are showing up more often in car shows. Not only because I geek out at some cool RC models, but it’s because it is something that is part of the car culture in general. You see over the years the culture that HIN represents has constantly evolved. With a ever evolving industry, the culture went from cars and models, to vapers, drifters, sneaker heads, RC builders, and male twerking contest… Yea they had that… But they still had girls haha. You see HIN has a responsibility to keep up with a changing culture, and to keep their fans wanting more.
HIN has always delivered to their fan base. Bringing out past and other Miss HIN Models to each event. The dedication to their brand is very strong. Despite being against one of the biggest events in the West Coast (EDC) the show was a massive success. It felt like EDC never happened. The crowds around model lounge never died (except when the did the Miss HIN San Jose announcement) and the lines to see Vicki Li and Danielle Lo never died down.
At the end of the night I was ready to go. I waited to see who was crowned Miss Hot Import Nights SJ. I really didn’t know who was gonna get it this year, but it looks like the homie Amy Cruz nailed it. The night is done. Time for my next gig. Until next time!
I want to thank HIN again for having me at all their California events and giving me the opportunity to work with a company that has a impact on the car culture for many years. The production was great, and we can’t wait to see what you can bring to the table next event!
