Operation Sponsor Gracie

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Our man in Denver Michael Gracie has bravely entered the Costa 2-Fly competition in the Teva Mountain Games.

Like Ricky Bobby at the end of Jackie Moon (or was it Anchorman? Old School?), Gracie’s got no corporate dough backing him up.

Gracie’s training now but the blogosphere needs to help a brother out.

Let’s create a list of what Gracie needs and make sure he gets it:

–Trained Eagle to do a fly over Gracie at the opening ceremonies.

–Helicopter rental for 36o degree aerial coverage.

–Gold Bond powder for the competitive chafing.

–Insane yet deadly patterns from Roughfisher or Singlebarbed.

–John Montana’s mojo.

–Fat Guy Kyle to help carbo load.

I’m donating a slightly used Fishing Jones commemorative visor. 

Send all cash donations to me and I’ll make sure he gets it.

FFR SHOW: Who Needs "Drift" Tickets?

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVRmtk5lx6o&hl=en&fs=1]

I had planned to go to this year’s Fly Fishing Retailer Show on my own dime. But then I had to pay for a number of unforeseen home expenses, culminating with removing a felled maple in my back yard and some (unrelated) emergency pet surgery.

Besides not getting to hawk my prototype of the new Fishing Jones Beltless Trench Coat (I call it “The Executive”), I’m also missing  the premier of the Film “Drift” from Confluence Films. Tickets are free to show attendees with the ability to locate a booth from the directory floor plan.

But if there’s someone who lives in or happens to be in Denver on Monday, September 15th at 8:30 pm, and ISN’T going to FFR, but still wants to see the film, shoot me an email by Thursday and I’ll send my tix (2).

UPDATE: TICKETS HAVE BEEN CLAIMED.
