Notsoberfest 2008: Burning bridges, dousing that fire with malt liquor

John — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 03:20:49 +0000

Last weekend we celebrated P.J.’s 24th by renting out a warehouse and going apeshit. Our marketing guy and resident drunk, this party needed to represent every part of his ridiculous existence. Around 100 rowdy hooligans showed up to rage, paint, crush, drink, dance, bang and fight into the early morning. Supplies required for such an event:

100 year old lumber mill, rooftop bbq, graffiti room,
Two kegs, 12 handles, thirty-six 40oz’s of malt liquor, 50 bottles of homebrew
One 6 ft tall pinata
DJ spinning nasty baby-making House
5 beer pong tables, 30 person flip cup game, beer bong
Paint, spraypaint, paint pens, pig’s blood

The original plan was for all the drunk asses to crash in the warehouse, so we could all get crazy without getting behind the wheel. Destruction ensued: the walls, livers, dance floor, massive pinata, furniture, nothing was safe. And leave it to P.J. to be the only person we know to get kicked out of his own birthday party.

All in all, the first inaugural Notsoberfest was a hit and next year’s should be even wilder. Check out the photo gallery and see it for yourself.

The Godfather, relaxing with our new bandana cozies

Basking in the beauty of his most recent design, Carlos takes a little break from the rigorous quality control procedures we put each of our new orders through. When a shipment arrives from the manufacturer, we spend hours and hours of testing to ensure that each batch stands up to our strict product standards.

Gettin’ Pumped for the Olde E Ski Trip

While it’s premature to start hyping up our 3rd Annual Olde E Ski Trip, I can’t help but go back on the photos/video of the past two years. The premise is simple: a dozen guys head up to a cabin with little more than our boards/skis, some bread and pb, various munchies, and 7-8 cases of Olde English malt liquor. The last two years have started out fairly smoothly- you know, building igloos, setting up mini board park courses, and the like. Inevitably, each day spirals into a drunken destruction match of a night.
Some of the highlights include:

Towing guys on skis behind a truck down the snowy road at 30 mph to hit an 8 ft jump we masterfully crafted.
Someone stealing a car and driving it into a snowbank 20 yards down the road (which nobody claimed to know anything about, of course)

Lining up thirty 40 oz bottles on the balcony and having a competition to see whom can knock the most off by running and launching your body at said bottles.
Backflip contest from aforementioned balcony
Beatboxing contest inside igloo (which suprisingly fit everyone, big ups to the two engineers that rolled with us)
Knife-throwing contest
Three hour long jam sessions, featuring 5 guitars, a piano, bongo drums, harmonica, and a trash can to fill out the percussion section

The list continues, but I think you get the point. This year we’re trying to see if Olde E won’t sponsor us, but considering the past trips, I’m pretty sure we’re not the best example of responsible drinking. This year should be a doozy, and this time we’ll have at least one sponsor: 40Cozy. I’ll post some more pics from last year when I can find them.
