Adventures of WeDrink at All Good 2009, Day Four: At This Point We’re Sleep-Deprived Zombies
Well, this was to be it. The last day, the last chance to spread the word of our charitable stainless steel bottles.
Saturday Night we saw Green-Man running around, so we just had to give him a free Green WeDrink Bottle.
I had gone to sleep somewhere between 4 and 4:30AM after the Umphrey’s McGee concert, it having been the first time I’d left the booth since Wednesday. Woken up one final time by the heat and bright morning sun after just two hours of sleep, it was time get things cranking.
Sunday was to be huge. Primarily because it was the last day, and people didn’t have to play the stretch-your-budget game anymore. Read the rest of this entry »

Adventures of WeDrink at All Good 2009, Day Three: Why You Shouldn’t Fear the Weatherman
I had been trying to not think about Saturday as it approached. All weather reports pointed to Saturday being a downpour. And not only that, apparently when it rains at Marvin’s Mountaintop, it really rains. I’m talking complete ground saturation and instant mud sinking halfway up to your knees.

I didn’t even want to get out of my tent.You know when you wake up in the middle of the night from a scary dream, afraid to return to it in your sleep? Friday morning was a mirror image of that.

Adventures of WeDrink at All Good 2009, Day One: On the Importance of The Ground-Score
by Andrew
Ground-Score - verb - finding useful/badass items on the ground discarded by others, usually at a large festival. ex: “Dude, check out these wet glow-sticks I just ground-scored.”
Of course, many would say that ground-scoring is just a euphemism for stealing, but in most instances the ground-score is entirely legitimate, and it usually evens out to a zero-sum game for everyone. But more on that later…
So here goes. All Good Festival 2009. Four days of music and camping. WeDrink’s big push into the open, our first major face-to-face exposure with these charitable stainless-steel bottles. I’d been preparing for this weekend for over two months… Read the rest of this entry »
