If you are in Seattle, then you need to come to one of the best pre-season parties of the year. Come out to the Red Door in Fremont for Alpine Huts, “Pray For Snow” party. Check out the flyer.

We did this last spring and had an overwhelming success, now we want to do one last push to get these kids the gear they need to shred.

If you have ever been to Stevens Pass then you might have noticed the little town they call Skykomish, just 17 miles West of the summit. What you may not know is there is a single school there (K-12) and they need your help.

The town of Skykomish is quite small with a couple restaurants, motels, and a single gas station. Most of the people who live there are on a limited income and because of this, many of the kids there have never experienced the treasure that lies in their very own backyard.

We need for the 08/09 season:

SKIS
POLES
SNOWBOARDS
BOOTS
BINDINGS
PANTS
JACKETS
GOGGLES
GLOVES
HATS
SOCKS
LONG UNDERWEAR
HOODIES
BACKPACKS / BAGS…..

Got unused HAND WARMERS or a snowboard LEASH? We’ll take those too! Every little bit helps. And remember, what comes around - goes around.

Creativity in communication comes in many forms.  You don't always have to pay a bunch of money for good press.  You just have to come up with a different and creative way to get your point across.  This is what Ogilvy Action's clever public awareness campaign for MTV Switch in Amsterdam.  What better way to create viral attention inexpensively about the rising sea levels, but to us the canals?  Eerily realistic-looking inflatable hands stick out the the water, holding up a sign with a simple question and the website address.  It's pretty brilliant.  Creative communication, breaking through all the noise.

Scott Sullivan and the Criminal Saints have wrapped up their new album and will be playing their opening show in Port Angeles WA. Port Angeles is the new frontier for music movements, cord wood and trailers converted into porn and novelty stores.

Scott and the rest the band are great humans that create amazing music in the sound studio aka basement of Matt Remine’s, (bassest) home in the outskirts of PA. The outskirts of PA runs deep country…

We thank Scott, the band and his family for making us smile, living real and sharing their talents.

Make it happen, believe, coming from the streets of indo to the communities of chi town, Obama crushed it, I cried, we all did.. We screamed and jumped, I now believe in democracy again. thank you for restoring my hope and dissolving my suspicions of an already purchased country, in one swift move the world has taken notice and the dark days of past hatreds and judgment were evaporated and there is a new dawn.. and the people have spoken with a roar …

I just came back from a visit to our bali office for a quick adventure of showing a few lucky retail bros from Zumiez around the Island and it’s many magic elements… We saw Lions, we rode scooters through the jungle and we soaked up 6 days of fun and culture. Here is the first of a string of posts. Thanks Made and Eric for setting the stage, and thanks to Frank and Paul for being willing to do “whatever”. More to come… Ryan
