Good God It's Shaggy

Shaggy Dog and 42 Below - most definitely a surefire recipe for a hit bash to celebrate the popular Jamaican's 42nd birthday. All wannabe party guests have to do is find Shaggy on the streets of Sydney and watch out for hints on Facebook and Foursquare.

42 Below is most definitely one of my favourite vodkas and I have great memories of working (while I was marketing communications manager at The Sukhothai) with then 42 Below rep, the absolutely gorgeous Paul Warden, in Bangkok to promote 42 Below, South Gin, Still and 420. In fact, I helped launch 420 (designer water from a spring at the base of an extinct volcano in South Island). 42 Below fans of course know that it stands for the exact location of its birth - a garage along the 42nd parallel, where it was distilled as a hobby.

The "420 at The Zuk Bar" tea party was held (you guessed it) at 4.20pm and happily mingling with the media and other guests was then New Zealand ambassador Peter Ryder and his lovely wife.

Then there was the time Paul concocted a great range of incredible cocktails for The Zuk Bar - actually, we had more fun in the creation than we were supposed to!

The Sukhothai holds great memories of great times. Wish I was back there!
