Subject: BOXES FOR DAYS* – THE TOUR!

Lib-Tech and Gnu Snowboards bring you Boxes for Days* – a ridiculously fun event involving a lot of boxes! – The Tour

Mervin Mfg has teamed up with longtime cohorts Snowboy Productions to bring Boxes for Days to the masses…with stops at The Summit at Snoqualmie, Boreal Mountain Resort, Waterville Valley and a super-misty stop somewhere in Japan!

The simple concept is to take normal park boxes and arrange them one after another to create an abnormal, tremendously difficult, yet ridiculously fun to ride Super-Box.

“It’s kinda like Voltron” says event creator Krush Kulesza “except there aren’t any robots.”

The tour teams up with some highly respected resorts in it’s first year with the park crews at each resort looking to raise the bar at each stop.

“It’s never the same event twice…it’s gonna be bananas!” says Mervin’s Pete Saari.

Speaking of bananas…each stop will award one deserving shred the official Slippery Banana award for box riding prowess along with a ton of great prizes given out in RANDOM DISPLAYS OF RADNESS from our great sponsors, including Lib Tech, Gnu, Snowboarder Magazine, Think Thank and COAL.

This event is BEYOND FREE. Meaning that in addition to no entry fee, every entrant will receive a free year’s subscription to Snowboarder Magazine and the first 50 will receive a free event T-shirt…you are almost being paid to go to this event!

Boxes For Days* – A ridiculously fun event involving a lot of boxes! – The Tour is made possible by Lib Technologies, Gnu Snowboards, Think Thank, Snowboarder Magazine, COAL , Snowboard Connection, Porter’s Tahoe and Eastern Boarder.

67% Prefer Merry Christmas while 26% Opt for Happy Holidays
Thursday, November 22, 2007
As the holiday season begins, 67% of American adults like stores to use the phrase “Merry Christmas” in their seasonal advertising rather than “Happy Holidays.” A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that just 26% prefer the Happy Holidays line.

There is no gender gap on this question and few demographic differences. From a politically partisan perspective, 88% of Republicans prefer “Merry Christmas” while just 57% of Democrats favor the saying.

The poll says … Merry Christmas!

If you think greetings such as “Happy Holidays” or “Season’s Greetings” are poor substitutes for “Merry Christmas,” you’ve got company.
A USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll taken Friday through Sunday finds that 69% of adults surveyed say “Merry Christmas” is the greeting they most likely would use this time of year when first meeting someone. That’s up from 56% in 2004. Only 29% would opt for “Happy Holidays,” down from 41% in 2004.
