    When something is pegged as a “three day party like no other,” you have to believe that our little vodka ears perk up. Like we’ve always said, we’re down for just about any kind of party–at any time. So when we heard that music festival Escape To New York (based on London’s Secret Garden festival) was making its way to the states, we wanted to go, obviously–especially when we heard that Patti Smith and bands like Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros and Best Coast were on the weekend's lineup. When we heard glamping teepees (that's lingo for "glamorous camping" for the unfamiliar) were involved? Well, we just about started packing right then and there. Camping, music, and cocktails is a recipe for a memorable weekend if you ask us. And that’s not all–there will also be installations, performance art, and wait for it…the world’s biggest brunch, featuring more than enough Kanon bloody marys to go around.

    It gets better. We want YOU to join us at Escape To New York next weekend! We’re giving one winner four passes to the weekend of festivities as well as a glamping teepee for you and your friends to stay in (seriously, a teepee!). You’ll receive “the pimp” accommodations (we didn’t make that up), which includes all the necessities of a normal home like a clothes rack, tables, chairs, etc....in a tent, people. Glamping at its finest.

    To win? Well that’s easy. Tweet us @kanonvodka and tell us which band from the lineup you’d want to share a Kanon cocktail with most–just make sure to include the hashtag #EscapeWithKanon in the tweet. We’ll be announcing a winner next Wednesday, so keep following us on Twitter to see if you've won. Start tweeting, FOKs! We can’t wait to see one of you at Escape To NY!

    Escape To New York festival will take place at Shinnecock Reservation, Southampton, New York, August 5 – August 7, 2011.

    Happy Midsummer! It seems like only yesterday that we had triple and double digit days as our countdown to Midsummer. Well, we're happy to say that those times have come and gone. It's officially the best day of the year, in our humble opinions. But because we love Midsummer so much, we’re not limiting the fun to today. What kind of a responsible vodka would we be if we didn’t guarantee a continued good time? That's why we're holding a contest so major, that we wish we could enter to win--and we're going to be running it for a whole month.

    Here’s what you have to do. First, head over to our Facebook page and “like” us. Midsummer is all about tradition, so we asked some of our favorite bloggers--including Honestly WTF, Because I’m Addicted, The Glamourai, TV Carnage and Diana Miller of I Listen to Everything--what Midsummer means to them. Simply choose your favorite tradition from our bloggers, and you’ll be entered to win. The trick is, if you share your pick, your chances of winning will increase. What would a contest be without a little strategy? We’ve also teamed up with an amazing bunch of folks to bring you equally amazing prizes. Think jewelry from FOK Pamela Love, a slick unisex bag from our Coachella co-hort Phillip Lim--and those are just two of six. You'll want to check out the rest over here. In fact, we might befriend you on the side so we can ask to borrow them.

    So, head over to Facebook and enter.
