Lollapalooza Top Picks and Tips – @SweetLeafRuss Style!
By Danny on Jul 25 Filed In Lollapalooza Add a Comment
Lolla is awesome; it’s easily one of the top festival experiences you can have anywhere in the world. On this third journey of mine to Chicago with Sweet Leaf, the band that’s captured a good chunk of my excitement is Beirut. If you guessed their style as eastern European, you’d be kind of right; however, don’t let that lead you astray Saturday @ 4:45PM. Give Beirut a go.
I love tips and apps just like the next guy. Make sure you’ve got the info before you go – download the Lollapalooza app now. Maps, info, and social… you can even setup your GroupMe text messaging groups (a smart move).
The Great Grannyism Cap Off Contest!
By Charla on Jul 18 Filed In Grannyisms, Sweet Contests, Uncategorized 1 Comment
Did you know that we have 78 Grannyisms in total? If you’ve seen all 78, high-five to you. It takes a lot of Sweet Leaf Tea bottle opening to lay eyes on every single one. But all deliciousness consumed aside, think about the enormous amount of wisdom you’ve soaked up from just opening even one bottle. With every sip, you’ve been building the smarts and know-how for this grand moment.
We’re looking for the 79th Grannyism to add to our collection. We know there are some classic Grannyisms out there that are waiting for their place amongst the best of the best. Maybe you’ve opened a bottle and thought about something your Granny used to say. That definitely happens to me. Or maybe you’ve spouted off a bit of our own wisdom to friends and family that deserves to be memorialized in a special place. And there’s no where better for that wisdom to live than under a Sweet Leaf Tea cap.
Friends, today is your day to impart some wisdom and take a chance at making others smile every time they read what you created. The best part is, you can WIN BIG just for entering. We’re giving away loads of tickets to the best music festivals across the nation including Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits and Langerado. So, open a bottle and let the wisdom brew. Then, enter The Great Grannyism Cap Off Contest at http://sweetleafalmanac.com. The Grand Prize Winner will be memorialized in Sweet Leaf history, win a year supply of tea and be responsible for making hundreds of thousands of people a tad bit wiser.
Grannyism #60: Good Things Come to Those Who Wait
By Charla on May 29 Filed In Activities, Events, Grannyisms, Live Music, Sweet Contests Add a Comment
Patience is definitely a virtue (one that I personally have to work on daily). But, Granny was right in that good things do come to those who wait. As I mentioned before, there are more sweet tickets (including VIPs) coming your way for some of the best and most fun music festivals in the country (aka, ACL Fest, Lollapalooza and more!). Keep your eyes peeled and your ears perked for more chance to win. This is definitely going to be one sweet summer!
YESTERDAY’S WINNER: Congrats Diane Rithman!
How to spot a Tea-Slinger
By Charla on May 12 Filed In ACL, Activities, Live Music, Lollapalooza 1 Comment
All of this talk about Free Press Summer Fest, Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits has me thinking non-stop about how much fun I have at music festivals with the tea’m. I’m not gonna lie, it’s hard work, but more than anything it’s a blast.
The Tea'm in Action at ACL Festival!
After all the festival chat during the day, I couldn’t help but laugh at myself when I went home and opened my t-shirt drawer. Now, I know I’m not the only Sweet Leaf’er that has a drawer like this. In fact, I’m sure there are a few here at HQ that have me beat. BUT, I’ve got a pretty good collection going and it’s growing at a clip that has some of my friends wondering if I own any t-shirts that don’t show Granny some love. All I know is, when I open my drawer to throw on a TEA-shirt, I get to relive the fun all over again!
Bring on festival season y’all, this tea slinger is ready.
