boredom + alcohol = really amazing ideas

just got back from snowboarding in utah.  it was nice not having to go to work, but really, we got more snow in atlanta on sunday night than we did in park city, which made for a pretty crappy trip since we planned to spend every day all day on the mountains.  the company was great, but the conditions were terrible, and i won't be going back unless it's free.  i'll gladly revisit solitude & brighton, but park city - listen: we're done.  although i may have to go back for the chicken flautas at baja cantina.  yeah, that'll be it.  those things are epic.

view while riding up the town lift.   i've been to park city mtn three times and this was the first time i'd ever thought to snowboard right into town.  kinda cool.  

after hitting up the hot tub on tuesday afternoon andy & i holed ourselves up in our hotel room at the canyons with some grocery store sushi and booze.  i poured myself a drink - coke zero & makers mark - but had nothing to stir it with. i ripped off one of the giant wax drips from the bottle and stirred my drink with that.  i'm sure i'm not the first person to do that, but andy thought it was a great idea and said i should send the idea to makers mark in the hopes of scoring some free stuff.   then the idea of sending an email to them kinda evolved into us filming a video.

you know how when you're drunk you get ideas that seem really awesome at the time, but are kinda stupid?  *this is the perfect example* 

drunky mcdrunkerson comin' atcha!  

this video was accomplished on the 2nd take and without the use of a script.  we were pretty amused with ourselves.  now it just seems foolish.  


gobbles mcbutterball made the trip.  he doesn't much care for snowboarding though. now that i think about it, i guess i could have stirred my drink with the clean end of a chopstick from the sushi box.

You are so crazy good! You really should send the video in....you're a great commercial actress by the way. MacButterball looked pretty fine! Sorry the trip wasn't as fab as you had hoped. Love much!

I think the only indication that you are drunk is your frequent use of the word "standard."

I think you should send them the video--companies like to send happy customers free stuff.
