Yeah, I remembered in time too! I was about to pour myself another drink last night and decided I better hold off since I wasn't going to get to sleep in! lol... My roommate was out partying a bit too, so I left him a note about the class. He did make it to class, but doesn't seem to be in the best shape this morning! Haha!

Good morning Dustin! Sounds interesting..... What did they determine, how many shots to get you drunk? LOL

Staying home this weekend.
8 males. 6 of which prefer to drink Ketal One on a regular basis. Then got more clear on the brand they were asking about.

CHOPIN. one guy pronounced in chop-in. One guy had never had it. Our group basically said the brand image is a joke, we don't like the way they describe the company.

We continually called it over-priced. I wonder how the Chopin represenitives behind the mirrors took our discussion

If it's anything like this, NO THANKS for me! I avoid vodka of any kind. Wine, I'll drink, just not vodka.

Haha I am not a wine drinker myself. I have drank Vodka before but not my drink of choice by any means.

I've got a lot of wine makers in my family, so homemade wine is always around at family gatherings. I much prefer homemade to anything I've ever had that was store bought.

Good morning everyone! Is it 5:00pm yet? I'd be happy with 4:00pm. It's been a long morning already.

Yeah, I hear ya Micheal! What was supposed to be a easy day for me, has ended up kind of full. I just signed up for a Wildland Fire Refresher course this afternoon from 2:00 -6:00 (1400 -1800 Cory's time). Oh well, didn't have much to do this afternoon anyways, and it'll be nice to keep this current, as it has to be renewed yearly or you lose it and have to got through a 40 hour class again.

Yeah, Still don't prefer wine but I'll drink it if there's reason for it...

It is Friday! Beer will be flowing soon! I think sooner for you guys, than for me, but I'll share in the festivities eventually today!

I don't mind vodka as a backup for rum. Just not straight. Blech!

More market research discussion. We got to have a little before we left. They paid $100 for the 2.5 hours we were there.

we listed all of the vodkas we could think of, and grouped them. and explained why we did.

Also, created a clothing store based upon the brand image we have of said vodka brands.

we all shopped at the 'ketal one store' which we all had to rename uniquely.

Nobody really wanted to shop at the Chopin store. LOL

evaluated marketing materials, and descriptions.
