The tradition started in ‘03 when all of us wanted to go boarding but were broke as shit. One of our uncles had a bad ass cabin that they regrettably let us use for the weekend. We brought seven cases of Olde English 40’s and some bread and tortilla chips, built an igloo, stole a neighbor’s car, had knife fights, someone crapped in the kitchen sink… you know, all the normal things guys do on man outings.
Well it’s turned into a tradition. This upcoming weekend is the 5th annual OE Weekend and I’m currently training for it. My goal is to repeat as MVP after last year’s performance…involving drinking six forties in a day, blacking out, getting covered in ink and flour, then waking up to destroy several people.
These statements do not reflect the sentiments of 40cozy, because we are not about drinking heavily or acting like fools. Everyone in this company is legit, they’re talented designers that enjoy beer. Alright, anyways. My goal this year is to drink 7 4o oz beers in one day, and not black out. I will hopefully document this feat and I promise to report on it next week. Or one of my coorespondents will if I can no longer function.
Enjoy the images below, they’re from last year’s OE Weekend. Not only am I the marketing manager, I’m also a passionate user of the 40cozy. (Weird ‘Hair Club for Men’-like plug there). You’ll notice me as the poorly dressed hombre with a beard.
To answer your questions:
1) No, 40cozy is not comprised of white guys pretending to be hard by drinking 40’s. The others don’t trust blogs, they think they’re evil.
2) Yes, ass clown, we are legit. The original concept of the 40cozy came from drinking 40’s. Carlos thought the whole brilliant concept up on his apartment rooftop on a cold night in SF. John was there as co-conspirator, but he mostly was just focused on his forty ounces of olde gold.
3) No, none of us were in frats. We’re not hating on anyone, but some haters think we’re detached from real 40oz drinkers. We understand them because we are them. They’re economical, they’re delicious, and they get the job done.
