Our THZ-TV experience on WLTV with @garyvee

Well, it’s been over a week since we were featured on WLTV with Gary Vaynerchuk. I have to say it was a fantastic experience to be able to hangout with Gary and the rest of the people at Wine Library and be a part of his show. I was a bit intimidated when I saw The Great One on the show about a month before us, but I think Chris and I did alright… all I know is we had a great time!

If you are at all interested in Social Media, Wine and/or a guy who has some serious passion, please check out Gary! It was great to finally get to meet him and he was also gracious enough to spend some time with our family (all huge fans of his) We have a new family portrait for the house now.. check it out!

Cheers,

Adrian

The “OutBack” Jam

quonset:

Saturday night, June 6th, we had an outdoor jam located in the back fields behind the Quonset. What a F’in good night. Almost a complete full moon in front of us and a well stocked fire, couldn’t ask for a better scenery than that.

After many hours of hard labor building the stage, we pulled off our first live performance in front of a few friends…

The beer and smokes were flowing quite nice, and the cheers and whistles began. We jammed out a condensed version of our set a couple of times and the folks seemed quite receptive.  Other than a few moments, where a couple band members were caught staring off into the moonlight, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, especially us. If the video footage that was taken isn’t too dark, we’ll be posting some clips shortly.

Cheers and stay buzzed,

G.R.

Not to jump the gun here… but…

After watching some of the Pens vs. Canes game 2 last night and the final highlights today (I think Canada’s Top Model was on our TV or something so I decided it was a good time to get some sleep) it appears that it may be another Pittsburgh vs. Detroit final. Sorry Hawks & Canes fans… Okay, sorry Hawks fans but it appears as though it might be heading that way for a second straight year. Just a few points on how I feel about this:

• It’s very impressive if both the Wings & Pens can get to the cup final for a second straight year. Especially for the Pens who were just about down and out after the first half of the season. Many thought they weren’t even going to make the playoffs - I guess a coaching change really can make a difference.
• I am noticing more than ever this year in the playoffs that “your best players have to be your best players”. For both these teams, their major leaders seem to step up when they need them the most. Think Crosby and Malkin last night for the Pens. Detroit is loaded with “best players” and they seem to step up frequently - Lidstrom, the mule, Zetterberg.. I think the only one that seems to be struggling a bit is Datsyuk & he is rumoured to be injured or sick (and I’m not just talking about his hands).
• What makes this even more impressive is the parody that exists in the league today. As we’ve seen anyone can beat anyone and with the salary cap it’s that much harder to build a solid team over the span of a few years. Detroit has this figured out, maybe Pittsburgh is figuring it out also. They made some key trades that have really made a big difference.

So, hopefully I’m not jumping the gun here. I know there is a lot of hockey left and both the teams that are down 2-0 are heading home. But from my view it looks like a rematch all over again from last year. And since the Bruins lost last week I am fine with that and if it does happen I’ll be cheering the Pens on. They have come along way this year and it would be nice to see Sid and the boys pick up a ring! Let’s see what happens!

Cheers,

Adrian
