MAN, here I was sleeping as soundly as a dead guy...AND, BOOM!  The earth started rattlin' & rollin' and things started shiftin' & shakin'!  I didn't know what to think...until I peeked out and tried to get a look outside...and it looked like someone played Boggle with the entire town! WHOA...CRAZY!  But, I'm sure things are much better now, right?  


I mean, c'mon Party People...it's time for the 2015 Napa Valley Coffin Races...

Wait...WHAT?!?  CANCELLED?!?!?  HUH?!?!?!?!?

Well, that BLOWS...

Thanks a lot, Mother Nature for ruining our good time, you HAG!  Oh well, I guess that just gives us one more year to make the 2015 Napa Valley Coffin Races even more EPIC...


In the meantime, 
VAMANOS GIGANTES!


And check out the 2014 Monster Ball...it's sure to be a good time had by all!

Holy Crap...I overslept!  What day is it?!?

Man, I can't believe it is already October?!?  That can't be...last time I was out and about, it was May and I was stage diving while listening to crazy awesome music out at the fairgrounds! (What was the name of that event again?!?)  And now it's October...my all-time FAVORITE time of year.  Not because of post-season baseball (Go Oakland A's!), but because it's time for the 2nd Annual Napa Valley Coffin Races!  We are stoked to have y'all come out and join us out in Downtown Napa again this year, where we hope to have even more teams racing to glory.  To get things kicked off, we want to sweeten the pot a little, the 1st two teams who get their paperwork and registration paperwork submitted will receive Coffin Race T-shirts for their ENTIRE TEAM!  So, let's get this party started!  If you have any questions, please call 707.732.3796.  And spread the word to all your friends and family to join us downtown on Race Day on Saturday, October 26th!  
Just like last year...
IT. WILL. BE. EPIC.

So, whilst I slumbered comfortably in my crypt, apparently our fair city has gotten even more AWESOME.  What's this I hear about an EPIC music festival in May?!?  Is that insane lineup for real?!?  The list of performers is enough to get a dead man's heart pumpin' again...
And you know where there's rockin' local fun to be had, you shall find the Napa Valley Coffin Races representin'!  Look for us to be having fun at the concert and possibly (hopefully) a Coffin Race display with information for the 2013 Napa Valley Coffin Races.  Registration will be up and running by then, and we are going to offer online registration & payment options this year, too.  
 
So, race fans, tell your friends (as well as EVERY SINGLE person you meet at Bottle Rock!) and don't delay..."race day" is less than 7 months away!

And if you thought last year was EPIC, wait 'til you see THIS year...

Wednesday marked one month since the 1st Annual Napa Valley Coffin Races...and with Christmas right around the corner, I've got wish lists on the brain!  So, in the spirit of my 3rd favorite holiday (yeah, Christmas is right behind Halloween and Coffin Race Day, of course!), I decided to put together my wish list for the 2nd Annual Napa Valley Coffin Races...
  1. I am hoping the Mayans (or Aztecs or Gremlins or whoever it was) were wrong and we all wake up on December 22nd...otherwise this is all for nothing!
  2. I am hoping we reach the maximum number of coffin entries...75!
  3. I want a coffin that celebrates the 2013 World Series Champions...our own San Francisco Giants!
  4. I would love to see at least 1000 race fans out there cheering, eating, drinking and being merry!
  5. I want to see more girl power out there...the Rockabilly Chicks and our beloved genies need more ladies out there representing alongside of them. C'mon Girls, time to flex those feminine muscles!
  6.  I want to hear more from Reverend Lanny Luv on the infamous CSPN "OCHO"...that man has some wisdom that he needs to share with the world.  Let's get him on the mic!
  7. I hope we can find another worthy local cause to raise money for...do you have any suggestions?
  8. I am excited to see another set of outstanding trophies built by our favorite local sheetmetal folks at Deluxe SheetMetal Fabrication!
  9. I hope the Incident Commander dresses up next year...costume suggestions include Disney princess, cheerleader or Lady GaGa.  What's your vote?
  10.  I want there to be TV cameras there...I'm ready for my close-up Mr. DeMille!
That's my Top 10...all very modest and completely do-able, don't you think?!?  Let's work to make it happen!  In the meantime, Happy Holidays to all of the awesome Coffin Race fans out there and we'll see you again in 2013 for another EPIC race in October!

So, we told you this event was going to garner crazy amounts of media attention, and it has already begun.   TwoGuysFromNapa.com, a wine country travel advice website, has whole-heartedly endorsed our event as the signature reason to travel to the Napa Valley in late October...(well, they may have mentioned a few things about wine, too.)  Go ahead and check out their write-up...

Additionally, the Napa Register, recently intereviewed Captain Charlie Rhodes about this soon-to-be opus and that article is due to run in the paper on Thursday, October 11, 2012.  So, don't forget to run out and grab a paper...you'll want to cut that one out for your scrapbook for sure!

Finally, as always, there are friendly, helpful, knowledgeable operators STANDING BY waiting for your calls...they can even now help you with other arrangements & recommendations.  Think of them as "Coffin Concierges"...so, give them a jingle at 707.732.3796.  Here's one now, helping out a Coffin Race fanatic, while his young friends watch in awe and admiration...(Doesn't that guy look important?!?)

As if Race Day couldn't get any bigger or better...this just in: CSPN (Coffin Sports Production Network) Channel 8, also known as "The Ocho", has signed on as the official commentor coverage for the event!  And they are sending in the big guns...we have heard that the one, THE ONLY, Rev. Lanny Luv will be manning the microphone and giving his colorful commentary and spot-on coffin sport analysis...he might even give autographs.  Maybe.

Also, if you're stumped on ideas for coffin and/or costume themes, check out our Coffin Race Photo Gallery page...lots of cool ideas from the event that is held every year in Manitou Springs, Colorado.  And as always, if you have any questions, please give our Information Hotline a call at 707.732.3796...operators are standing by, waiting to help you with all things, coffin-related!

I've said it before and I'll say it again...this is going to be epic, Folks.............................EPIC.

Tomorrow is the 1st day of October...and that means Race Day is just around the corner. Speaking of corners, the new Starbucks just opened on the corner of First Street and Main Street, which is outstanding...and their front patio would be one of the ideal viewing spots for the Finish Line!

Have you signed your team up yet?  If not, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!? DO IT NOW.  If you have any questions or need more information, call our Information Hotline at 707.732.3796.  Friendly operators are standing by 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to answer your questions!

It is going to be epic, People. EPIC.
