Here’s to a relaxing holiday weekend…or as DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince sang, “Summer, summer, summertime. Time to sit back and unwind”
Pictured below is Dena and Lil’ Lance, sportin’ their Snoloha Hoodies and enjoying a fireworks show.
You’ve probably noticed that blog posts have been light lately. Well, I had a wedding to attend last weekend so I fell a little behind. Oh, I should mention that it was my wedding!
We did the entire day “Snoloha style”.
The wedding was held aboard a 47′ catamaran, “The Nauti Cat” (If you visit Traverse City this summer be sure to consider this as a “must do”, Capt Chien and his crew will take great care of you). A friend of mine performed the ceremony, and even started off by saying that it was brought to you by Snoloha (he was kidding of course).
Afterward, we had a good old fashioned backyard BBQ, with Trop Rock & Reggae music playing in the background, and Cuban burgers the highlight of the menu. A quick storm blew in and out, and as a result the temp dropped a bit, and guests started asking if they could by Snoloha hoodies…no problemo!
Now it’s back to work, but first here are a couple of pics.
Yes, if you look close enough, that would be a Santa Claus aboard. And when you saw him up close and realized his suit was filthy…his remark was “it’s the economy”.
Yep, I married someone much, much better looking than me.
My licensee in Spain has been hard at work getting the Snoloha brand off the ground. Unfortunately, everything was held up due to the initial package that I sent (3 months ago), that never showed up in Granada. Well, over the weekend, it showed up…to me! It made it to Spain and through customs. Then it was lost and returned to the States. Unbelievable!
Nevertheless, the brand is moving forward still and the initial launch is getting closer.
Ever wonder what the Snoloha definition looked like in German? Here it is:
“Snoloha [SNO - Loh - Hah], n. Ein Lebensgefühl, geteilt mit allen denjenigen, die leben, spielen, reisen, urlauben, entspannen, oder einfach das Leben genießen irgendwo zwischen den Inseln und der Arktis”
While I’m on the topic, check out this pic of Rafael from Spain!
If you mix up a Snoloha Drink (click on this link for the recipe) this summer, send in a pic via email (and I’ll send ya a surprise)! This one is from Dena in Virginia.

In honor of George Carlin, the first one seems fitting (since I’m getting married this weekend):
“‘I am’ is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that ‘I do’ is the longest sentence?” “Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit.” “One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor. “ “When someone is impatient and says, ‘I haven’t got all day,’ I always wonder, How can that be? How can you not have all day? “
Seems like an appropriate song to share now that summer is “officially” here, Kid Rock’s “All Summer Long”. Plus I’ll admit that I dig the song especially due to the opening verse:
“It was 1989, my thoughts were short my hair was long
Caught somewhere between a boy and man
She was seventeen and she was far from in-between
It was summertime in Northern Michigan“
If you’ve been here, you understand. If not, you should visit. Summertime in Northern Michigan is something special.
Check out the video…
I had to share this photo, sent in by Alaska Dave…seen here shrimpin’ in his Snoloha hoodie.
Thanks for the great pics Dave…keep ‘em comin’.
Congrats to my pal Jimmy Pirate and his band Pirate Dreams. The track “Tropical Breeze” from Pirate Dreams’ debut disc “Memento” has hit #2 on Cashbox Magazine’s “All Indie Pick” charts nationwide after only two weeks on the charts.
Have a listen, it’s on this play list. And if you like what you hear…buy a copy.
There has been quite a bit of interest and early demand…and finally, the initial Snoloha Lil’ Ones selection is here.
Designs include SnoMon, First Lesson, and the SnoFlake Palm Tree hoodie.
So check it out:
There are a bunch of other designs, colors and styles that will be available. But first, I have to “test the waters” with this initial selection.
Hope you like ‘em…let me know!
