Hot Buttered Rum Plays O+WP Benefit!!

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

Special Thanks to Grady O’Shaughnessy and the entire Clifbar crew that helped out with this amazing event. This was by far the greatest one yet.
It started with a demonstration in the warehouse.

The last part can best be described and a highly-inspiring panel discussion about rolling down the road using alternative energy and a Q&A with the crowd.

Special Thanks to HBR. We were inspired that this team was willing to rally with us on this event, and definitely did some brainstorming on things to come in the future. Stay tuned….

While we were parked in Jackson, we met up with all the nice folks that collect the local waste veg oil.

James hooked us with around 20 gallons.

And then this super nice family styled us out with 40 more gallons, enough to get all the way to California!!! Their house is totally off the grid, running on solar.

Mcveighs Pub, Toronto

Sunday, May 7th, 2006

The event was hosted by Alex Mihailovic in downtown Toronto (even though she had to skip out to host another party for about an hour!!!). We finally got to meet all the legendary characters that Alex has been telling us about for years. The infamous Pria had her engagement party at our event. It was really fun!

Steve and Des got the worst of the Seth/Tyler mongering as of yet. First their apartment, then their RV…..then we jammed their office all day on Monday. They took it pretty well.

We went for a whirlwind paddling session with Campbell, Fisher, and Vincent on Sunday and got on a couple of the local creeks.
