Let's Have a Party with Stella Artois Légère

THIS IS EXCITING!

Okay so!

Here’s what’s happening:

Stella Artois Légère has embarked on a Summer Sampling Program. Keep an eye out around Toronto, they’ve been known to pop up here and there, and they like to share (get it? Wink!)

Even better, they asked me if I would like a chance at hosting a giant Block Party in the downtown area?? Yes please!

How it works:

Toronto has been divided into chunks (Downtown, WestEnd, Yorkville/Annex, the Beach / Leslieville / Danforth, Scarbourough/Don Mills, Etobicoke/Yorkdale), and based on which area gets the most votes, that’s where they’ll throw their Block Party.

I’m representing Downtown:

1 – Liberty Village 2 – University Ave 3 – Front Street 4 – Queens Quay 5 – King Street 6 – Blue Jays Way

What we have to do to get the party downtown:

Vote on Facebook for the party to be held Downtown. Vote for “Downtown” here: Facebook.com/StellaArtoisCanada

How to vote:

STEP 1 – Go to Facebook.com/StellaArtoisCanada and click “Stella Artois Légère”

STEP 2 – Now you’ll see a voting screen.  Scroll down for the vote box on the left

STEP 3 – Choose ‘Downtown’ and tada!  Thank you!

This is NOT a contest, it’s all done by votes (because you can imagine the legal stuff surrounding a beer company throwing contests and hosting sampling sessions. Big props to @StellaArtoisCan for figuring out how ;) )

The party will be August 13 2011, and I’ll have 4 tickets to give away closer to the date.

Please vote! Wouldn’t this just be the best time?  I’d love to be able to throw a big party as a thanks for your continued reading and blog support, and I actually love Stella – we will all be winning with this.

Lastly, keep an eye out for cars and bikes like this around town, Stella Artois Légère Summer Sampling FTW!

FULL DISCLAIMER – I am being paid to promote this contest. I want you to know that. But remember when I told you about being for sale? I genuinely drink Stella, which is what I said when they approached me, so it all fits.

Did You Know the Planets Aligned?

I’m not being dramatic like, “ooooo the planets must’ve aligned, Billy, you’re on time”.

They physcially actually did.

In May 2011, six of them lined up, visible from Earth with a naked eye, look:

Do you even know how rare this is?

For most of May they stayed in line along the path the sun travels each day.

Why is this so interesting?

Because this planet configuration was predicted by the Mayans to occur… December 21 2012.

Yup, the infamous 2012 theory.  Astronomers say no such alignment will occur next year.

Basically the Mayans were 19 months off in their calculations, but when considering they did them thousands of years ago, I’d call that pretty close.

Think this news is all fringe, and maybe you’re rolling your eyes?  Time Magazine wrote about it.

I’ll leave you with this:

PS – Want more proof I’m not alone? InterXon, the world’s leader in thought-controlled computing (and a Canadian company), is a headline keynote at Canada’s largest media conference this week, the Banff World Media Festival.
