Our Very First Corporate Sponsor — Just In the Nick of Time!

A few days ago, thanks to the outstanding efforts of the invaluable Sumi Lee, we got an e-mail from someone called Toyan, of SoNu Water. Here is what he said:
Love what you guys are doing, would love to provide free water to your cast and staff when on location…please feel free to email or call me at anytime. Take a second , explore our site sonuwater.com
Regards,
Toyan
Now, Mike and I are serious artists. We have integrity. We have standards. We’re not the sort of people who will just whore themselves out to the first faceless corporation that comes calling. In fact, we are very choosy about what faceless corporations we whore ourselves out to. But here, I’ll let Mike tell you himself:
(Yes, that’s my voice interrupting Mike’s announcement. Yes, I am a jerk.)
In all seriousness, we did drink vast quantities SoNu water on the set of “The Jogger,” and it was refreshing (though very sweet), and we also used the bottlecaps to fix Tawse’s bed. No, I’m not joking. Would I lie to you?*
In addition to 12in12, SoNu is also the official flavored water of the New York Islanders, who are, according to Mike, a hockey team. Go team, go!

*I would. But in this case I am not:
MIKE’S POST SCRIPT: A) Yes, I wrote that caption. B) Tawse’s bed slats kept falling off the inner edges of the bed, since Tawse has been doing something to deform them somehow. So the slats needed more pressure from within. I am a specialist when it comes to pressure from within, and that pressure combined with the mystical qualities of the SoNu I had consumed gave me the power to remedy this situation — by placing SoNu bottle caps between the slats. Maybe if you drank more SoNu your life wouldn’t be so fucked up.
