Aahhh yes…  yesterday was undoubtedly the most important day of the year.  Forget Christmas, New Year’s, birthdays, anniversaries and all those other “Hallmark Holidays.”  This was the real deal.  This event was not celebrated with lame cards, flowers, or candy.  No, my friends.  It’s celebrated with processed meats, carbonated adult beverages, and Bryce’s Mom’s World Famous Bundt Cake.  Yes, I am talking about the 93rd running of the Indianapolis 500.

Who won the race?  That is unimportant.  As a true connoisseur of race day, I wouldn’t waste my time sitting in the stands watching cars drive round and round in circles.  The true value in the day is reaching out to the masses, building bridges of friendship and love, while sharing in communal activities like keg stands and socials.  It’s amazing what copious amounts of alcohol can do to bring people together.  It’s a true festival atmosphere and, as far as I’m concerned, you can’t seize the day by actually watching the sporting event.

Sponsored by “Camp Lowry,” The Champ Report had its official launch party in conjunction with the Indianapolis 500.  I’m not sure what really made it all that “official,” but we did have t-shirts and I did manage to remember to do an occasional interview or two.  Originally I had these big plans for getting some really great content out of the day to share with everyone.  The problem is that after you’ve popped the second bottle of wine and everyone else has also been consuming pinot grigio and Blue Moon since 7am too, any attempt at taping anything of real value pretty much goes out the window.

But all is not lost…

The fact of the matter is that I got some great video that, while not all that educational, is pretty damn funny.  It would be a shame for it to go to waste just sitting here on my laptop.  So, I’ve decided that I’m going to share with you various clips from yesterday’s debauchery.  However, I’m going to pair each video with some really meaty, sink-your-teeth into it posts that you can immediately go out and start applying in your pursuit of that girl at the coffee shop, the hot waitress at your favorite restaurant, or the girl next door.  Granted, the video will have NOTHING to do with the post, but at least I won’t feel like yesterday was totally for not.

So enjoy today’s video, and get ready for my next post.  As a sneak preview, I want you to consider the following…

You’ve decided to take a little weekend trip and after a long day of exploring a new town you decided to cool down with a cocktail at a little cafe.  You sit down at their bar and it’s not five minutes later a woman walks in – alone – and sits down next to you.  She’s just the type of person you’d like to talk to.  But what do you say to her so she doesn’t feel like you’re just hitting on her?

Maybe you don’t have to say anything at all.

Below you will find the movie that was originally at the top of the post. Tim came to the site last night, watched the movie and said, “What the hell?!?!?” Then he didn’t even read the post because he was afraid the content would be as lame as the video. Good point. So, the video is now at the bottom of the post. I don’t want people bailing before they read the good stuff. Enjoy. Remember, no real substance in the film, but just an FYI… don’t try and interview someone in the middle of a race track while people are actually racing. Bad idea. More GOOD stuff later today!
