BRONIES VS. JUGGALOS
Last week I decided to come out of fake flier retirement for yet another fake flier. While all of my fake fliers are special this flier was super special, it was a celebration of two of the Internet’s most hated subcultures - Bronies and Juggalos. Not just ‘bronies’ and ‘juggalos’ but ‘bronies’ vs. ‘juggalos’. An epic street battle between ‘bronies’ and ‘juggalos’. So what happens when you combine two of the Internet’s most hated sub cultures on one fake flier?
1. You make da Internet babies.
2. You make the front page of Reddit. All the way to the #2 spot. 18,824 upvotes and 16,348 downvotes with 2,176 comments.
3. You get over 1 Million views in 24 hours. Our elevator at work was seen by over 1,000,000 people in one day.
4. Popular sites like College Humor, Epoch Times and i-am-bored pick it up.
5. You become the winner of the Internet for a day.

Hello My Friends
Colorado
A few weeks back my good buddy Lawson got married in his hometown of Lyons Colorado. My friend Todd and I traveled out to Colorado for the bachelor party and the wedding. Epic times were had. For the bachelor party, eight of us hiked up into the Flat Tops. With float tubes strapped to our packs we headed up to Rim Lake where we proceeded to slay some Lake Trout on the fly. We had a blast. You can't beat hiking, camping and fishing with good friends. The wedding was a blast too. Gallery below.
FORECASTLE
The Kentucky for Kentucky team was all up in this years Forecastle Festival selling gear and MCing bourbon talks in the bourbon lodge. Good times.
Portland
We took a family vacation to Portland Oregon during the first week in July. This was my first time in Portland, my wife lived there once upon a time so she was out tour guide. Amazing city, we had a great time. Great shopping, beautiful parks, tasty snacks (ice cream, donuts, coffee), all sorts of good shiz. People in Portland were also very friendly. Loved it. Some of my favorite places were: Cargo, Canoe, Poler Stuff, School House Electric, Tanner Goods, Salt & Straw Ice Cream, Stumptown Coffee, Washington Park, Voodoo Doughnuts, Rose Test Garden, Japanese Garden, Elephants Delicatessen, Columbia River Gorge, Powell Books, Manor, Ace Hotel, etc. If you haven't been to Portland, I'd highly recommend it.

Winning
This article in the New York Times screamed - "make some spoof ads". Got my homie Kris Ange to whip some up real quick. So quick he double spaced the headline- like a boss designer. Somehow the spoof ads got picked up by ADWEEK and AdRants.
Best comment on AdWeek-
"Unfortunately, winning doesn't take care of that double space in the headline."
