Yes, it’s real vodka. Yes, it’s 7am. And yes, this is the first and only take.

    Hey Ian,

    Congratulations on your 100 subscribers!

    What’s the secret? When I added you to my feed 3.5 weeks ago, there were 20. Why the sudden growth?

    Take care,
    Timen

    Congrats Ian!

    If I actually used RSS, I’d subscribe too. Since I don’t, subscribing would serve only to inflate your already-massive ego, so I won’t do it just for the sake of your subscriber number. So next time someone makes a passing remark about your humble demeanor, tell them to thank Patrick (:

    Ha. Not a problem at all! Congrats Ian! It’s all been fantastic. And I hope you’re taking more shots throughout the day on your Birthday…Madeleine’s apparent MO. Happy Birthday Ian! And thank you for all your work and efforts!
    In Peace,
    cam

    Thanks everyone! Let me just mention that vodka shot did NOT sit well. Still, it’s worth it in homage to our readers. ;)

    Yep, Tobi couldn’t get enough of the vodka shooting action. And I owe the expert camera work to Karen, of course.

    “weak. this is how i start every day.”

    That is one of the best Madeleine quotes I’ve ever read.
