Sand by the TON! and other Space Cowboy related events

Posted by Andrea Thu, 09 Jul 2009 20:39:00 GMT

We hoped to send this out at 4:56am on 7/8/9 but of course didn’t get around to it in time. Perhaps you were sleeping, or already awake and 3 miles into boot camp or still up partying with Simon LeBon from the night before. Don’t worry, it will happen again next year an hour later but in August. We’ll be sure to remind you of this special date for next summer.

Speaking of reminders, there is a frak ton of stuff going on this weekend. Birthdays, picnics, concerts, weddings, festivals, Midnight Mass, breast walks, shooting galleries, oyster baths. If you stay in this weekend I am thoroughly impressed, as the sheer number of events is capable of causing panic attacks. We hope you find something fun and safe to do with friends and try not to focus on the FOMO (fear of missing out) that is bound to be rampant across the state of CA.

We get fan mail all the time, and this one was just too cute not to post. A huge thanks to Jackson who has had the Mog on his mind since seeing it at Squaw Valley. Notice the multiple speakers and Kapt’n Kirk in the DJ booth, complete with space mask, ready for the playa. There is also the detachable Ripe car on the back.
