Oh, Free420Jars blog… what a lovely idea. Brian’s been doing an excellent job of giving away free jars. Sure, it sounds pretty easy, but making time every day to write about the jar you’re giving away can be a challenge when you’re busy with many other tasks and responsibilities. By the way, this isn’t Brian tooting his own horn – this is a guest post by Matt LaPrairie, the co-founder of 420 Science.
Brian has today off because our company policy is that your birthday is your own personal paid holiday. Pretty sweet, huh? I got the idea from my parents. They’re business owners and that’s been their policy for decades. You gotta treat your people right.
Today I gave away 2 free 420 Jars. The first was to a friendly person at the Do512 Lounge on South Lamar. The 2nd free 420 Jar went to some dude at Waterloo Records. Both businesses were participating in the ACL Festival Lineup Lottery that gives Austinites the chance to win a pair of VIP tickets to ACL this fall.
Since they were giving us a chance to win free tickets, I thought it would be appropriate to give away some 420 Jars. And these weren’t just any 420 Jars. These were the new, limited-edition, not-for-sale, only-available-by-luck, Keep Austin Fresh 420 Jars.
We made up 288 of these sweet, sweet jars and we’re spreading them all over town. When we run out, we’ll make up 288 more with a new Keep Austin Fresh design. This is what the first batch looks like:

We’ve even started a new blog about our Keep Austin Fresh campaign.
Tune in on Monday for your regularly scheduled Free420Jars.com posting from the talented, wonderful and very loveable Brian.
