It was great! Michael Mascha is a fine water expert, and a gentleman! What a pleasure having him come to Toronto to speak. We received some great tips and information, discussed the future plans of the WaterShoppe, and had a good laugh.
For all of you that attended, thank you!
Favorite moments-Scott saying the bottle of Perrier water from the 30's tasted like "aunt Dot smells", Nicole being forced to eat food she didn't want on camera for a "mingling" scene, Brian going home to change midway because "if ONE more guy walks in wearing a jacket and dress pants", the homeless gent who waved and gave us "thumbs up" from the street, the young couple I assumed Lisa invited, she assumed I invited, that stayed for the event, and the best-a couple visiting from Iceland who walked in during filming, didn't realize it was a private party, and got themselves interviewed by the Associated Press!
A special thank you to Steve Kriakis of Ioli water for saving the day! Everybody drink up some greek sparkling water!
Enjoy the long week-end, and don't complain Tuesday about how your fireworks were soggy, your camping trip sucked, and how you couldn't go to Canada's Wonderland with the kids. It's May 2-4, what else is new about cold and rainy???
As previously mentioned, feast your eyes on Monkey Teapot! Is that something? The new teapots are very cool. Come visit our tea room, buy some fabulous water, some great loose leaf tea, and a teapot shaped like a dragon. Wowzers.
Not sure if you saw it, but we paid a quick visit to DayTime Toronto yesterday, and showed off some of our fabulous waters!
And please stay tuned for a few pics after our Water Tasting event this Monday May 12th. This tasting is really going to be amazing. We need to get our picture taken with Michael Mascha and hang it in the store. Yeah, that's right-WE had the dude from the cover of Time Magazine visit us!
Too busy to type and gripe right now, but wait until next week! I'm sure that I'll have a little story or two about my trip in a frickin cargo van tomorrow to Tonawanda to pick up 50 cases of sparkling. Ohhhh boy, I am super excited to go through customs. Those folks at the border are so darn friendly! Is it possible to get detained for being saucy? -Mister customs agent-"Reason for your visit?" me-picking up 50 cases of sparkling water. Mister customs agent-"Don't you have access to bottled water in Canada m'am" me-Nope. Well, at least not like this kind filled with a mixture of vodka and ecstasy!". And there I sit for 17 hours while they take samples of every bottle and rip apart the rented cargo van. Crime AND being a joker doesn't pay.
Can you see it now? Me driving a cargo van with no windows, attempting to find a freight yard in the middle of nowhere, asking some homeys for directions. All thats missing is a huge sticker on my forehead that says LOST, CANADIAN, NAIVE, CARRYING CASH. I'll just spray everyone with mace that gets within 10 feet of the van. Safety first!
