Congratulations to the SOWperbowl Champions!

SOW Successful!

1. She's the one on the car!

The #1 reason not to be frightened of Son of Wingstock is:

This weekend is all about Chad. And Chad is all about Jeannie. And that's very cool.

And since there have been several posts since this Son of Wingstock video was published (and it is now buried), here it is again to get you in the mood...

See you at Son of Wingstock!!!!!

Does it get any better?

In honour of Son of Wingstock, here is a very special treat from Mark!

SOW Major Announcement: The SOWperbowl!

Son of Wingstock. Saturday April 18th. Havelock, Ontario. 1:00 pm. Rain or shine.

It's the SOWperbowl.

That's right boys, bring your gear, your soft hands, your Favre arm, your Marino mobility (no, no, leave that at home), it's the SOWperbowl. It will be, without any shadow of doubt, THE biggest football game in Havelock all weekend.

Consider yourself informed. Are you ready for some SOWball?!?

Also...in an effort to assist with your SOW preparations, please review the following checklist:

A brief and unfinished history of SOW

To know where you're going, you've got to know where you've been.

Son of Wingstock, in many ways, will be the culmination (culmination!) of a long history of momentous events. SOW will be an epic opportunity to honour everything that has made Mr. Chad Winger the man he is today, before he embarks upon the next step of his diagonal journey. SOW will also (and no less) be about Mr. Winger's relationship with his friends.

Son of Wingstock is the descendant of similar celebrations which began many moons ago with Fussapalooza one lovely summer day on July 14, 2004. There remain police logs documenting the late hours of that Fusseriffic event. 2005's Carrie-d Away took our intrepid crew to the lovely city of Montreal for a jazz festival and a few other distractions and machinations. 2006 was the year of the "double-whammy" with the innovative post-wedding celebration known as Joelmageddon. This followed an earlier wilderness escape also in honour of the Joelmageddon namesake. 2007's Gregamania was a multi-city tour de force. From Brantford to Toronto and back again, it destroyed at least one limousine suspension along the way. Indeed, Gregamania rocked hard.

2008 spawned the original Wingstock from a late night Toronto discussion and became a memorable birthday celebration. This could have been the first event to spin-off unique contests such as "Sign Bang." Perhaps the only black eye on Wingstock's handsome mug was the lack of "Gentleman Croke" displayed by some attendees.

This brings us to Wingstock's arguably more momentous Son. At first glance SOW seems a monstrous creation. Some have been more than a little intimidated by its looming shadow. Only time will tell what SOW will bring. Its complete history is yet to be written. But one thing's for sure...if it brings Winger...it's brought enough.

What's that, you're still a little scared of SOW?

Stay tuned for the #1 reason not to be frightened of Son of Wingstock, coming on Wednesday.

And watch for a major SOW announcement coming tomorrow. Major!

SOW website fights off virus

It's no surprise, given the hub of activity that the SOW website has become, that it was targeted by a nasty computer virus on the weekend. Over and over, whenever users refreshed the website, they were greeted with the alert above. The message offered one great option and two very very nasty ones (Fuss excepted for option #3).

Fortunately the SOW tech department resolved the issue, as there are many important postings to come in the week ahead!
