A Smashing Success

Every once in a while a story comes along that breaks the mold and in this case… literally! We first heard about this place a few months back and from what we can tell, it’s the only place like it in the country. Called ‘Sarah’s Smash Shack’, the idea is simple: you put on a a few protective items and then have at it. Right now I am sitting next to a wall full of breakable things. For example there are a variety of plates, glasses, vases, ash trays, even mirrors! Each item has a price and you can even attach a picture or write down a name with an ink pen. The whole idea is to get out the frustration safely. For those worried about the mindless trash that is left over, have no fear. All the broken pieces are given to local mosaic artists and even schools for art projects. Here is a behind the scenes look. A live shot will be posted on here also. Gotta break stuff first! OH… AND WHAT SHOULD WE WRITE ON THESE PLATES AND GLASSES. GIVE ME YOUR FRUSTRATIONS AND I WILL BREAK EM!!

Check out the video below!

This is the sign outside of ‘Sarah’s Smash Shack’ in San Diego and also a picture of our crew. That’s photographer Eric Barnes, Producer Jennifer Girdon and Technician Eric Graychock is in the truck! I am on the left, Jen is in the middle and Barnes on the right… if you couldn’t already figured it out.

Adam, that segment was great! I saw your FB post alluding to this, but I don’t have cable to watch. Glad you posted it here. I hope your elbow and rotator cuff held up alright cause it looked like you were raring back!

Adam,
Please write “Lack Of Cash to pay bills” for me, and then please throw a strike with the mirror!

How about a Bill O’ Spinning Coffee Mug. I hear they bloviate pretty good when put under a lot of stress.

re: John…the same John that used to be here? with the tin hat????

 
Comment by John

Patty, the one and the same. I’ve tried to post at times, but Adam doesn’t look like he wants to play all that much anymore……….

Another item that could be tossed up against the Sarah Smash that could be fun is a dish of one of her namesake’s favorite foods, a bowl of Palin’s mooseball soup.

Comment by Max Kon

Haha, looks like Adam was having a little too much fun.

They should have said it was a breaking news alert at the start though.
