But read fast!
Because there are two mega time sensitive CONTESTS below, and you need to act NOW to win, so go go go go go! Read!
Lightning Round Instructions (Do now!)
1. Sip martini.
2. TIME SENSITIVE!
If you wanted to pick up the Products + Cash program, GO GO GO! The first 50 people tonight will get a free month’s membership of my exclusive Behind Closed Doors group, so you can see exactly what I’m doing behind the scenes to market myself + kill it. Go! (I’ll notify you.)
3. ALSO TIME SENSITIVE!
The fun part! To kick off Intoxicate 2012 – a week long initiative designed to help us all light a fire under our asses, and intoxicate ourselves with possibility – I devised a fun little treasure hunt on the new blog – FIRST INDIVIDUALS TO COMPLETE AND EMAIL ME THEIR ANSWERS WIN PRIZES!
1st person to successfully complete AND EMAIL first with his/her answers will win a year long subscription to Entrepreneur magazine, a super stylish World Map Flask (picked out by me!), and a bright ass red Moleskin journal…so you can keep exploring your possibilities, and recording your ideas once the week is over. GO!
The first 10 people who successfully complete and comment with their answers below the 1st place winner will win a bright red Moleskin, courtesy of myself + TMFproject. HOT.

NOW GO!
Read the other shit after!
Read the clues right below, comb the site for the answers, and then shoot me an email as fast as you can to win!
HERE’S WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR, PIRATE!
1. There’s a bigggg video. Find it. Twice in the background, you’ll see a red, circular sign of a sushi restaurant. What’s the name of the restaurant, and what’s the name of the neighborhood in Santiago, Chile I shot this video in?
2. On the About Page, find the About Me Version (there’s several!) that lists a whole bunch of emotions. Find the emotion that corresponds with this statement: When I found myself up until the wee hours of the night writing for the blog, which told me I was finally on the right path. What emotion is listed?
3. Write exactly three sentences about a time you felt that same emotion.
4. Find the category of blog posts that sounds like it would hurt. What’s the category called, and what’s the title of one post from within that category?
5. In the Start Here page, what type of animal meat do I reference?
6. Find the place you can shop on the site. Pick your favorite TMFproject product. And re-name it. The more clever and inappropriate, the better.
7. Tell me one thing you’re good at.
8. Tell me why the fuck you hang out at TMFproject.
THE END!
***Once you’re done, email answers to ash {at} themiddlefingerproject.org on the double, and then read on for more launch goodness!***
If you’re back in action, swing down below and say hi in the comments – I’m here live in the comments section, interacting and high fiving you, so even if you aren’t feeling like treasure hunting it up, leave a comment below, say hi, and/or upload a picture of yourself with your dirty martini! (Remember? You were suppose to do that?)
Now.
Ze other goodies!
First of all, a huge thanks to Marta Spendowska, from PolishLab.com, for all of her amazing talent and hard work on the site. Just look at how sexy! She is worth every penny times 10. Believe it. (Hire her.)
Second. A huge thanks to YOU for sticking around, hanging out, using way too much profanity with me, and being a part of this community. We’re in this together, yo. THANK YOU.
Third. INTOXICATE 2012 will be carrying on through the rest of the week, and starting tomorrow, I’ll be publishing videos with prompts each night at 9:55pm EST / 6:55pm PST so we can intoxicate ourselves with possibility – and get the ball ROLLING.
It’s time to level up, baby.
Tomorrow, you’re going to LOVE the video I have in store for you. Absolutely fucking love it.
So stay tuned!
Anddd…last but certainly not least…
I mentioned an opportunity to win a One Night Stand copywriting package (now worth $997). Totally still on for that! Here’s how you can win:
Each night, tomorrow through Sunday, you’ll be asked to perform a task, when I publish at 9:55pm EST / 6:55 PST. The winner will be s/he who has performed each task successfully through Sunday, and from there, who stands out the most as someone who really damn well needs it. After all–sometimes we just need someone to cut us a fucking break. I want to be that someone.
Got it? So that starts tomorrow.
That said, it’s time to kick back, have a martini, and bask in the possibility, baby.
Hop in the comments, say hi, upload a photo of yourself, if you wish (preferably with martini in hand!), and tell me what possibility YOU want to pursue this year–but haven’t yet.
HAPPY LAUNCH DAY!
Let’s make this year stupid good.
