On the road again
I haven’t posted lately because I’ve been working, and I can’t concentrate on more than one thing at a time. Yes, I’ve been able to convince someone to actually pay me.
My client Char-Broil makes all manner of machines you can sizzle your meat on. Toyota noticed that fire is beloved by the same caveman mentality that gets off on big trucks. And where is heaven on earth for men who love to burn and haul? Home Depot, of course!
So Char-Broil and Toyota are getting together to visit Home Depot stores all over the country (except here in Dog Patch where we don’t have a Depot … we have Swain’s for everything from lathes to prom dresses. And don’t forget Hi Caliber Guns and Espresso).
All spring and summer this road tour will set up at Depot stores for a day. If you buy a new infrared Char-Broil grill that day, you can have it delivered home for free … anyone who has ever tried to wedge a grill into a car trunk will recognize this as a very good deal for your back and knees. You can also test drive a Toyota Tundra which, I am told, can haul something the size of Texas. You will be given trinkets and treated like kings for a day. Or queens, as the case may be.
Anyway, I was in LA for the training of the new crew and first road show of the season. Here are some pix:
The guy in blue is CB, the Char-Broil chef. Grilled foods make you grow tall. The people in the tan shirts are the new crew that will accost you to either drive or cook. The guy in black? None of us know who he is.
CB’s secret ingredient? Beer, of course.
Come on, get in. Drive a truck. Feel like a bad ass. You know you want to.
FIVE logos all in one shot! Am I an ad whiz or what?
Anyway, RED, the new infrared grill, really is amazing. No kidding: awesome dudes. And this is how I spent my weekend on the back nine. How about yours?
