Euroland in December

Mega post on the annual December Euroland visit and Global Sales Meeting.  Enjoy.

Rolled out of here last Wednesday, arrived Thursday and drove from Italy to Austria to pick up the last of our samples for the sales meeting.  Factory was cranking and shit looks perfect.

Down from Austria the next day to Italy, to the best Pizza spot in the world.  CLAIM.  But true.  Lino's.  This is a pre-pizza porketta plate.

Mmm.

Jet lagged but stoked.  Prosciutto con fungi for me.

Old man Lino. 

Off to Venagazzu winery to pick up some rep / distributer of the year bottles.  Had some grappa, just because it's so tasty.

$9G a barrel to build.

Gnocci, dude.  Huge and dee-lish-us.

Beef on a 600 degree plate.  Yep.

Asolo, look it up.

We did a co-lab car with Citroen.

More food.  Lunch pasta.

Then the dudes arrived.  Opening night spent in Asolo.

Sweaty with a mellow meeting with the mayor.

Dinner was off the charts.

Then to the wine bar where we met the new owner of the villa in Asolo where we used to afterparty.  Gums talked him into us going there, and we stayed til 3:30am.  Shit is on a Roman burial ground and a Roman Church.

Villa dude, was an incredible host.  Graves got up in his grill and got us the tour of the basement. 

Then off to Venice for the meeting.  Enough preparty.

Arrival at the hotel, which was an old factory.

Boat rides everywhere.

Gigi and Steph came along.  Nice having you there Christian.

Level walls.

After meeting getting "lost" in Venice.  Drinking hombres.  Thanks Zoltan.

Lovers do this shit in Italy, JP Walker does this shit in Utah.

Glass dildo or slipper?

Farewell party yesterday at 4AM.  These dudes walked us out, and hadn't been to bed yet.

Came home to lil guy in the hospital for low blood platelets. 

Getting better though.  Gotta rest.  Love ya Mac.
