So we got a little nuts with our Christmas card this year. We’re into the Holidays so we decided to do it up real big like Oprah’s undies. The cards we sent out had scratch off codes where people could go to our Christmas site (stsworkshop.com) and pick a gift from under the STS tree. Then we sent out a potpourri of presents that ranged form the awesome to the borderline offensive. To mange all of this we built a CMS on the back end so we could track who checked in, what present they selected and who got shipped what when. For those who didn’t get cards/gifts we created a Zombie Elf Attack game where the top high scorers could earn presents. We illustrated and developed the entire game in house. Our nerds got skills yo. On the Christmas site there was also a gift gallery so you could see the ridiculous gifts everyone else got. We also had a give a gift section where you could send friends fake certificates for land deeds, star naming and donations to the Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can’t Read Good, in their name. We also added in a Pewee Herman cameo, singing shark and shit-talking squirrel for good measure. All in all it was a long ways to go for a roast beef sandwich but serious good times. Wait till you see what we do next year.

Shawn LeBoutillier, our dearly departed intern, was tragically ripped from us by Delta Airlines flight 4456 and the idealistic need to finish school and get a degree. We will fondly remember this fair lad with bright eyes and split ends who shunned motorized vehicles and skated everywhere like an extreme Mennonite. While he was with us he cranked out some hot snowboards, killer logos and an STS video that we can’t wait to unleash on the world. When young Shawn wasn’t making magically delicious designs he was on the couch watching Murder She Wrote marathons and eating microwave burritos off his chest. (more…)
The most handsome of the STS crew was snapped by the paparazzi frolicking with his lady friends at a water park. That’s right, a water park. Remember when your mom used to drop you off there in the summer when you were 12. Jordy is still a youngin’ so we’re going to let it slide (no pun intended). If any other member of the crew got their picture in the paper at a water park we would openly tease them until they cried. Then we would apologize. Then tease them for crying.

Been working with our friends at Lloyd Architects to design up our new joint. We told them we were going for the warehouse Shredder set up for his Foot Clan in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movie. They nailed it. We’re super stoked. Highlights: Glass garage door on the front, full skate ramp, lounge at the top of ramp with stairs going to roof top patio, ample ping pong table room, giant kitchen so Potter can cook up crepes for the troops, and last but not least, double bathrooms. Finally, the contractors are ready to start swinging hammers. We bribed them with copious amounts of Beef Jerky and Pabst Blue Ribbon to get it done ASAP. Pretty sure we’re breaking fire codes in the space we’re in now. Ever have to ride the hump in the backseat of a car? Yeah, it’s like that. 14 hours a day. (more…)
48” inches of new powder and not a cloud in the sky = epic day with the crew. We waited in line to get up the canyon as they blasted for avalanches and were one of the first to hit the slopes at Brighton. Was so ridiculous spent first few runs laughing hysterically. After hours of laying down fresh tracks across the mountain and hucking of some major schiz, we called it a day and hit the patio at Lone Star tacos. Like Ice Cube once said, today was a good day.

So we just swooped up our new building and not to brag, but it’s awesome. Over 4,000 square feet of possibilities. Being the responsible businessmen we are, we weighed our wants against our needs and then budgeted for the build out. After we knock down all the walls these are the first 5 things we will be getting; mini skate park, kegorator, bakers dozen of plasmas, limousine, snake. (more…)
