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.
Beer labels are to designers what catnip is to felines. Check out the label we just cranked out for Hoppers new Sno Ale. Had a blast doing this one and look forward to many more. Swing by Hoppers and give it a taste. We promise you’ll like it if you’re into Christmas and awesomely delicious things.
Say hello to the newest addition of our board collection. Just got 4 boxes of these bad boys to give out to the BFFs of STS. We went retro because we miss the good old days of skatin to the mall, hanging out in front of Hot Dog on a Stick and talking about the new Whitesnake video. (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.
To make sure our testosterone levels weren’t slipping we all peaced out of work and took a dude day. We started off bright and early and swooped up 18 energy drinks on our way to the skate park. Once we were properly caffeinated old man Jared proceeded to show the young pups how it’s done. Somehow our ollie contest ended in a 7-way tie. Then we hit the lake for some epic wakeboarding and fist pumping. (more…)
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…)
