Crystal Head Vodka

A couple of weeks ago I was up at like 4:30 in the morning getting ready for work and I had the news on to see what the weather would be like that day, and I wasn't really paying any attention until I heard them mention Dan Aykroyd being in Seattle. I've been a fan of his since I was little watching his movies (Blues Brothers, Ghost Busters, The Great Outdoors, My Girl (1&2), Tommy Boy, among many others) and they said he'd be promoting his new vodka. He owns most of Patron (I don't know if it's just in Canada or in gerneral) and lots of Wineries so I thought this was cool. It comes in this awesome glass bottle in the shape of a skull which is just rad. The story behind it is pretty cool, you can check it out on the website.

So anyway, I took the day off of work so I could go to this signing. I got down to U-Village in Seattle within plenty of time to be close to the front of the line, I think I was only 40 people deep and the line grew from that to like well over 150 I bet. Anyway I was standing in line for like an hour and a half when they finally started to let us in. It was a little frustrating how they had us do it because you had to take the bottle out of the box and give them it ahead of time and show your receipt etc. And when I finally got to him I was so nervous and excited all I could say was Hello and "can I take a picture with you?" and he smiled at me and shook my hand and I got my picture and that was that. It went by way too fast, it made me sad because I wanted him to write something special on my bottle but they were having him sign bottle after bottle so fast that I felt too overwhelmed to ask ha ha. Oh well, the fact that I got to meet a classic comedian/actor such as him was good enough for me. I'm sure you'll see people selling signed bottles on ebay but I would never do it. It has too much value to me. Call me a dork but I really like the guy, like I said he's a classic.
