| Hey
Vancouver, drop that Half-Blood Prince and pick up your email,
because the Urban Mixer is as jampacked with thrills as Kelly
Slater’s rash guard and, unlike a certain wee wizard we
could name, is also perfectly legal! And don’t forget to
wax your board!
Sing
with me people:
If everybody had an ocean, across all Canada
Then everybody’d be cruising, or doing Lambada!
You’d see ‘em wearing their manpris,
Vans, Keds and Nikes too,
Highlighted, punky blonde hairdos,
Vancouver, Canada!
Oh
it was too fun! Work with me here.
COMEDY
NIGHT COMING UP!
Come
out and do the Well!
August 10th, we're hosting an evening mixer and comedy night
down at the Urban Well. Find out more, hang ten over HERE!
Our
Social Lifeguards scan the horizon from dawn to dusk (they particularly
like looking at Dawn), to locate the too cool for school and
hot to trot, and they give it all up for you, all season long.
Yes, under those prim red suits beat the hearts of saints…go
ahead, feel them! They almost feel real…The number of
social lives these people have rescued practically qualifies
them for a Nobel. Our Social Lifeguards have managed to spy out
the Pipeline to the very best in summertime entertainment, and
they’ve posted it right on the chalkboard. For your ease
of use, we’ve converted it to email format, so you needn’t
haul yourself down to the lifeguard station and risk getting
sand in your Slimanes. We’re all about sparing you the
Hasselhoff.
If
you want to be one of our Social Lifeguards and feel a surf report
of your own coming on, or you see something big breaking on the
Outside, don’t keep it to yourself, dude! Throw me a line,
drop in on me HERE [raj@urbanmixer.com]
and let me know what you see…because
I’m so hypnotized by the glare coming off the blindingly
white cottontail newbies at Wreck Beach that I can’t actually
see a darn thing! Be the first to catch that next wave in town
and I’ll send you a 100% cotton, 100% sexy cotton tee,
perfect for covering up those magnificent pecs when you see your
third grade teacher on the beach. Hi, Mrs. Prewitt! Hmmm, maybe
I should give away shorts instead.
Our
full social surf’s up report for the month is online and
updated continuously HERE [raj@urbanmixer.com].
If you want to catch one wave at a time, pick and click a day
of the week on the right hand side of this email and hang one.
You can hang ten if you want, but that’s a lot of clicking.
FRESH
NEW LOOK, SAME OL' NEW FEEL
We're
out of
the underground, baby! So why not throw me an
email letting me know what you think or what you'd like to see!
("more
skin" is
an acceptable answer). Besides, like I’m
going to come up with all these ideas on my own! That almost
sounds like work!!
Oh!
... and special props out to Brady
Dahmer Design for
hooking up this magnificent piece of art we call a weekly newsletter.
And
this week's time bandit, you ask? It's inevitable, Lifehacker gets
a taste of Left Coast lifestyle and links us up to a good case
against work. Check it HERE!

Shoot the curl, shoot the breeze: shoot, just email me, wouldja?
Nothing keeps me warm like the glow off the Palm Pilots around
the campfire after a long day on the bricks at Hamilton Beach...or
Robson Beach...or...
