Why Did You Drink That: Voli Vodka & The Super Moon

By |August 11th, 2014|Sponsored Post|

super moon nycIn case you missed that giant gleaming beacon of light last night, that was the second super moon of the summer (the third will appear on September 9th in the off chance you slept through the first two).  This one was special not only because it was the largest/brightest, but because it also coincided with the Aquarius new moon (as mentioned here), which meant that freaky things were in the making.  I was especially intrigued by this moon and did my due diligence studying up on it.  Some of my friends were feeling a bit under the weather, while others were energized and ready to rage.  Apparently, this is totally normal and all feelings- negative and positive- are amplified by the full moon up to two days before and after.  Specific to my own situation, I was informed that all sorts of suitors would come crawling out of the woodwork.  I was hoping this meant fresh meat, but instead it was lots of leftovers and crawling out they did come.  I considered hiding out on my couch for the duration of this freak filled phenomenon, but when my Australian mates came calling, I figured I’d join them in toasting this super moon.  While most of the males had no idea there was even a moon in the sky, they were intrigued when I told them it was time to get weird.  We crafted up some cocktails with Voli Vodka and set up shop on the roof to howl at the moon.  Here are a few moments captured by the talented Michael Stiegler at our super moon soiree.

Fortunately, I live in a city that is ruled by taxi cabs, subways cars, buses, and the explosively popular Uber becasue not only do I not enjoy driving, I’m not particularly good at it.  Trust me, the world is a much safer place without me behind the wheel.  However, Ford has made driving a whole lot more fun with the new 2014 Ford Fiesta.  With more connectivity and more technology than the average affordable and fuel efficient models on the road, it would be hard not to enjoy sliding behind the wheel of one of these bad boys.  To drive that point home (see what I did there?), the Ford Fiesta Movement was launched.

One hundred agents were carefully selected to hit the road in the new Ford Fiesta to tackle missions entailing everything from visiting People StyleWatch’s fashion closet to surfing in Malibu to singing their hearts out at Bonnaroo.  So, stay tuned as they continue to hit the road to complete more missions in their Ford Fiestas (You can watch all of their videos thus far here).  Watching all the fun behind had by the agents almost makes me want to make use of my driver’s license… almost.  For more tech specs or to build your own head on over here for more information.

Hit the road, Jack- or just join the movement.
