OCEAN Vodka:
Featured Beverage at LA’s Gridlock New Year’s Eve Party

January 11, 2010- KAHULUI, HAWAII- OCEAN Vodka, a certified USDA organic and Made on Maui liquor, was selected as one of the premium beverages to be served at Gridlock LA, one of Los Angeles’s most extravagant New Year’s Eve parties. With headliner Adam Lambert and host Pamela Anderson, the annual event took place throughout the New York City-themed streets of the historic Paramount Pictures lot and was attended by 4,500 guests.

While OCEAN Vodka has been quietly turning up in bars, restaurants and events around the country, Smith was thrilled to be part of such a high-profile event as Gridlock. “We are excited about being among the top products coming out of Hawaii, joining pineapples, macadamia nuts and Kona coffee as favorites, not only with residents, but as souvenirs of visitors’ trips to the islands,” said Shay Smith, President of OCEAN Vodka. “Now with this event in LA, we are recognized as more than just a great Made on Maui product, but as one of the preferred vodka producers anywhere,” he continued.

The organizers of the Gridlock event were looking for unique, but also high-quality products for this year’s event, and OCEAN become a natural choice for them. “We were very excited to have OCEAN Vodka on board,” mentioned Matthew Gavin, the Gridlock group’s President. “We loved the eco-friendly and organic nature of the product- as well as it being a family-owned business, which was very appealing to us.”

Gridlock, now in it’s fourth year, rang in the New Year with a midnight countdown, fireworks display, and a 40 minute set from Adam Lambert, with songs from his debut album, For Your Entertainment. The event also included additional live performances by Kevin Rudolf, Wonderland, Qwes, Dakota Lamas, Far East Movement, and 10 different DJ’s and performers on four different stages. The event was open to the public and tickets began at $150. The event was produced and presented by Matthew Gavin Enterprises, TLK Fusion, Hollywood Studios International and Paramount Rocks. For more information, please visit the official website at www.GridlockLA.com.

OCEAN vodka is certified 100% USDA organic and a Made on Maui product. It is handcrafted in small batches using the finest organic sugar cane and blended with 100% MaHaLo Hawaii Deep Sea-water, and distilled using a unique four-column continuous distillation process. This creates an extraordinary vodka of unsurpassed smoothness and quality. OCEAN Vodka is not only committed to making exceptional vodka, but to being environmentally-responsible as well. The bottles are made with 60% recycled glass, decorated with organic, water soluble inks, and shipped in recycled cardboard. In addition, a portion of the proceeds are donated to organizations working to conserve the world’s ocean resources. For more information, please visit www.oceanvodka.com.

People, Animals and Ocean, sounds like a peaceful place.

Flaunt and Ocean Vodka presented a mind-bending happening at the Goldbear Academy. Sioux and White Mountain Apache tribes performed traditional drum and dance ceremonies to hundreds of spiritual revelers dressed as their spirit animals. The colorful and lively audience enthusiastically partook in Native American traditions surrounded by paintings and photographs commissioned specifically for the event. Artists Adarsha Benjamin, Alia Penner, Ashley Haber, Mekenzie Kay, and Shelby Duncan covered the walls of the elegant Silverlake warehouse with works inspired by Flaunt Magazine’s latest feature on Los Angeles’ musical Renaissance -the 16-page article “Rise of the Hippiester” by writer Marc-Edouard Leon.  Bands featured in the story such as The Pharmacy, Rainbow Arabia, and The Entrance Band were invited to perform while psychedelic visual by Maximilla Lukacs and Jeremy Rendina were projected over them. An open lot besides the warehouse was filled with art cars and saw performances by mimes and hula-hoopers. Guests danced joyfully to DJ Daniel Merlot and lined up to get their bodies painted by makeup artist Sunevil. Meanwhile hair stylist Ramsell Martinez gave free haircuts in front of a photo booth by Shelby Duncan and the directing trio Skinny presented the world premiere of its new video for songstress Jackie Tohn. The evening culminated when an LAPD helicopter became alerted by the sight of the animalistic pageantry and hovered over the lot with a blinding spotlight. As the police put an end to a night of spirituality, music, art, and fun, throngs of jubilant costumed party monsters merrily flooded out into the streets exclaiming, “BEST PARTY EVER!”
