Goodnight and Goodluck

Yesterday was another day in Charlotte for the R.A.O.S. team. If you were looking for "freedom" after Sam's hint, than you might not have found us. Our plan was to spend most of the day at Freedom Park but unfortunately one of the park's officers found us out in about 10 minutes and gave us the boot. Apparently, he wasn't someone who could be easily persuaded with some Cheerwine. We did get a couple good shots at the park and saw some pretty cool things, like a lady with her dog who told us that he was ranked 8th in the world in frisbee competition.



During our lunch break, we went to a sports bar called Picasso's to catch the end of the U.S. soccer match. It was a pretty cool place and everyone was real intense because of the game so we thought about doing a little sampling there. We offered the manager a free case if she allowed us to give some out inside and if she'd make a drink special with Cheerwine. She was all for it. My favorite part of the whole thing was that once we started handing out cold CW inside, someone came up to me and asked if we had been in Greenville last week. I was just pretty psyched to hear that we'd been spotted by someone two weeks in a row in two different states.




And now for the bad news. After our day in Lake Norman on Sunday, my run with the R.A.O.S. team will come to an end. I'm still working for the company next week in Myrtle Beach for the "Thriller on the Griller" events but this will unfortunately be my last blog. I know, I know, how could this happen right? But it's ok. Zach, who will be the new member to work with Sam is a great guy and you'll like him a lot. He's always got a lot of creative ideas so I'm sure the team will find a lot of new and fun things to do to finish out the summer. Anyways, goodbye to all you great fans out there who have kept my job fun, always making me want to check out our site to see who said what to us, and goodluck to Sam and Zach. I'll keep up with these guys from home back in New York and make sure to post some comments so I don't lose touch. Keep Zaggin'

Steve

P.S. We did it again, another perfect pump. $75 even

Wow, four short weeks. Your loyal fans are really going to miss you Steve. Zach does have really big shoes to fill. Just because you've put in your time, does that mean you can't chat a little with us from time to time? We're goina miss you.

Sam, change is not always easy, but hang in there big guy. Life with Cheerwine is awesome!
