And so here we are...another season starting with very high expectations. We have SEC championship dreams, and are making plans for the BCS championship in Miami. I'm getting ahead of myself again. Let's talk about this week. Well not much has changed on the bus, not that it needs to. The bus was good enough to bring us a national championship as is. But, in an effort to always try and improve, we did do a few things. First off, we upgraded thekegerator. The old one was a conversion I did on a mini fridge, and as suc it only accomodated pony kegs. That's fine, except the selection in the ponies is somewhat lacking. So the new one is a little larger and, while it was full of bottles this week, will serve up its first few kegs next week against Miami. It should also look more "Gator-ified" next week...stay tuned for that. The next big upgrade came to the video setup. The TV from the past couple of seasons took a beating, thanks especially to the constant ...

Sorry I haven't kept up on the blog this year...I've been too hungover until this morning. I'm good now. You see, we've decided to err on the side of too much beer this year, meaning I've got a keg on ice in my garage that I've been nursing all week. It's a glorious thing to have cold draft beer at home. Simply glorious. Anyhow, one could argue the first two weeks were preseason for us just as it was for the Gators. The first week was a comedy of errors. First off, the game was at noon, so there was only a little bit of time for tailgating. First there was the keg fountain. One of the connections of the beer hose wasn't tight after the cleaning, resulting in a lovely beer shower. We eventually got that worked out. Then there was the dish...we had no problem getting a signal in our dry run, but we sure did in week one. Eventually that got resolved too, just in time for the end of gameday and the beginning of our game. Week two was much better. We ...

It's that time again! This was a big weekend for the bus, getting all primped and primed for the big season deubt next weekend. I'll have more on that later, but first wanted to let you know where the party is at this year. We've moved down the street to free ourselves from the volume-czar. We're now right across university ave from the president's house (allowing us to stick it to the man throughout the season). The house we'll be at is great, and we've got a spot right on the road. He sells parking on gameday for $20, which is cheaper than any of the houses around him. Get there early if you want to park in the same lot. We plan to be there all season, but check back here for any updates. The map is attached below. We're at the orange and blue bullseye. Also, since the game this week is at 12:30p, we'll do most of our tailgating after the victory. We will get there in time for college gameday, and will have the tv setup during the game most likely. Then we'll ...

Well it is! Just wanted to give a plug to me. My company, 352 Media Group, has a new blog up with posts related to Web development. My specific portion is related to my role as VP of Marketing, and I talk mostly about interactive marketing news. Please take a moment to check it out, as well as any of the other posters (a collection of talented web designers and programmers).

My last post was in April. It's been a nice break. But now its back to business. With the season a mere 11 weeks out, its time to get the wheels in motion, excuse the pun. One of the priorities coming off of last year was to upgrade the parking situation. Last year we were desperate. All of our energy was in getting the bus itself done, so we took the first spot that looked alright. Sure, it was a nice reserved spot in a big lot close to the action. That wasn't the issue. The issue was a whiney attendant who would ask us to turn the volume down on the TV! Um, this is a tailgate lot, right? That, coupled with the very high price tag, led us to look elsewhere. So we made up a flier (see pic at the bottom of this entry). It laid out what we needed, and what we'd offer in return. In short, we needed a great space across from the stadium. We offered money, fun, and even some beer, to the poor college students that live in those coveted homes. Well, the bait ...
