Thanks to the power of the internet, I was contacted by the owner of PortaShots, Mr. Bill Tuck Jr. He was nice enough to comment on our blog and not sue us for trying to rename his product.
After supplying him with my address, Bill mailed me some Portashots swag. Three sweet visors and some brochures. The visor, as you will see below, is very cool. The brochures were definitely a tease though. Spiced rum and silver rum are not the only flavors. Vodkas, whiskey, gin, brandy, tequila, and scotch are all receiving the Goshot treatment. I don't have to tell you that this is a game-changer. I salute Bill and thank him for his vision. Hopefully he will find a way to crack the liquor distribution mystery in Minnesota so that we don't have to cross the boarder to get our GoShot fix.
Yes, I have three GoShots in my complimentary CocaCola. Nicole's company cruise was instantly improved.
We started with three bags of GoShots and it didn't take long to extinguish one of them. Realizing that we could easily run out, it was time to find some more. We traveled back to the only place we had found them, the Hi-Vee in Sioux Falls. Nicole's brother's wedding was the perfect cover for a GoShot run. Sadly, Hi-Vee had sold out of their remaining clearance supply. The giving tree was down to a stump. Even though our supplies are dwindling we soldier on.
During the trip, I offered Mark a Portashot visor in return for lodging. The only appropriate way to recognize this exchange is with a GoToast.
Tyler's wedding was a wonderful event. I was happy to find free beer and other sweet treats. The reception may have started with an over-sized bottle of champagne.....
.... but I made sure to follow it with a GoShot. It's a wedding!
I slipped several GoShots to Tyler throughout the night, so that he could pass them to unsuspecting fraternity brothers. Who is going to turn down a free drink from the groom? Nobody.
The Warrior Dash was the perfect excuse to Goshot before 9 AM on a Sunday. (That's right GoShot is also now a verb.) All of our able-bodied racers took a celebratory squeeze before the race. Wade could barely contain his pleasure. It may have given Egon and Rob pause, but they soon joined in the fun.
Rob was the only one who struggled with the packaging. Although, to his credit, he did come up with an alternative/rival name. SnapShots! I have to agree that this a pretty sweet name. It was later decided that PortaShots needs to release two sizes. The GoShot, which would stay at 30 ml and the SnapShot would get an upgrade to 60 ml. Maybe half of a bag could be Gos and the other half Snaps. Look into this, Bill.
As previously reported the Warrior Dash went well for all involved. The pre-game rum was the difference maker. Andrew Bussey arrived late and raced after we did, but luckily a rogue GoShot found its way into Bussey's hand after he completed his race. Victory never tasted so spiced.
What happened to the third visor you ask? It was sent to Tim Mooney of the Milwaukees. As important as the discovery of Goshots were, christening them with the name was also essential to their greatness. Thankfully, local photographer, Ali "The Hersh" Moonbaum, was able to capture some of Tim's precious moments with his new visor.
Lets' take a look.
Mabel wraps herself in the sweet, warm embrace of GoShots.
GoShots will increase your reputation. Don't be surprised when Jay-Z and Sean Combs call asking to hang out with you.
It is important to use in moderation, but don't ever moderate your fun.
The genius of the PortaShot visor is that you can pack six of them at the top of the visor. The alcohol will go straight to you head so why not store it there? Mooney opts for the under the bill storage option.
Whether you are working on important legal documents or are scouring the real estate channel looking for investment opportunities, GoShots and business are a winning team.
Who wants to get wet?
