 Hey friends!

So here we are, two weeks into this year's Vans Warped Tour! Already we've had one of the best summers ever, and it's all thanks to YOU! We really do love it when you guys come and hang out with us, so keep it up! We hope you're taking advantage of the Warped Tour exclusives that we're offering on the road, because they won't be available after the tour is over! We just got some sick snap-back hats in, so we'll have those for the remainder of the tour as well. 

Also, if you're going to come see us on Warped, make sure to bring us some candy. If you bring licorice, gummy worms, or root beer barrels, we will give you some free stuff, or some killer discounts on PYH gear! We're not even kidding, because when it comes to candy, we don't mess around. 

On another note, we want to tell everyone who's been wondering: YES, we are restocking many of our plugs and shirts! It's been a crazy busy summer for us, and we've been doing all we can to keep up with you! We are literally restocking a good chunk of plugs as I type this update, and we should have another shipment of shirts and tanks in over the next couple weeks. So thanks for being patient! We know you guys hate waiting, but just remember what Mom always said, "Patience is a virtue!"

In even better news, we'll be hitting 75,000 likes on Facebook next week (hopefully!), and you know what that means: DISCOUNT CODES! So get stoked and spread the word! Tell all your friends! Tweet about it, post about it, share it on your wall, make a YouTube video about it, create a Pinterest pinboard of people getting excited and name it "The Looks on People's Faces when PYH Hits 75,000 Likes on Facebook." Seriously, let people know. The faster we get there, the faster we can give you guys a code for new gear! 

Lastly, we want to say thank you! Thanks to everyone who picked up some goodies on our Customer Appreciation day, who has come and hung out at Warped Tour, and who continues to come back and purchase from us. We love you all!

Cheers,

Brett and the PYH team

Good afternoon!

Warped Tour officially starts tomorrow, Saturday the 16th, and we couldn't be more excited! This is by far our favorite time of the year, because we get to travel the country and see all of you! We've got a whopping 200 square feet of tent space, so be sure to stop by the tent and say what's up! We'll have a wide selection of plugs, tanks and tees, as well as other accessories. We've got some limited edition Warped Tour specials, like a basketball jersey and some snap-back hats that you can only get on Warped, so make sure you come hang out! If you're not sure when Warped will be near your hometown, you can check out the date listing right here.

Also, we wanted to make sure that all of you know that TODAY IS CUSTOMER APPRECIATION DAY! We really do love each and every one of you, and if it weren't for each of you, we wouldn't be around. That's why we're giving you 20% off everything in our store all day today. Until 11:59pm tonight you can get whatever you want, and we'll lop 20% off the price! So make sure you use the code "IAppreciateYou" and pick up some gear!

In other news, we want to remind all of you to hit us up on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. We like to use all of those things every day, and we want to follow you back, watch your videos, and share funny pictures of cats in top hats.

Lastly, we want you to go and check out this fun video we made last week in the shop! It's called "Sh*t People with Plugs Say," and we really love it. We hope you will too, so head over to our YouTube channel and watch it! We're giving away some free stuff to people who share the video on their Facebook wall, so make sure you do that!

Thanks for checking in this week, we'll have more for you soon! 

Cheers,

Brett and the PYH Team

Hey there friends!

Happy Monday to all of you! We've been working on a lot of different things since last week, and we're finally ready to let you all in on it! We recently posted a Team Page, where you can go and read about who we are here at PYH! It's got pictures and trivia about all of us, which we hope you'll enjoy. Most of the info is true, some of it funny, some of it embellished, but it's all good stuff. Head on over and check it out right here!

Also, we finally set up an Instagram account! If you like looking at pictures of things, then you'll want to head over and follow us on Instagram. We'll be posting pictures from Bamboozle, shows, stuff around the warehouse, and of course, Warped Tour 2012! It's easy, our username is plugyourholes. Open up Instagram on your phone right now and type that in. Told you it was easy.

We're going to announce a contest here pretty soon, and it's by far one of the best contests we've ever devised. We're really excited about it, and we can't wait to make it go live and get all of you involved! Seriously though it's going to be so much fun!

Thanks for tuning in today, and remember to check back on Friday for any other updates we may have for you! 

Cheers,

Brett & and the PYH team

Happy Friday everyone!

This past week has been a good one for us. We hit up Kaufman Stadium to watch the Royals play a few games, saw the new Avengers movie (multiple times), and, of course, worked on getting you wonderful people your orders!

We’ve been fulfilling orders as fast as we can, but you guys keep cleaning us out! A lot of people have been asking us about our stock levels of various items, and all we can tell you is to be patient! We’re working with our suppliers to get every one of you what you’re looking for, and sometimes it takes a little longer for us to get certain items back in stock, but we’ll make sure to let you know when we do! It breaks our hearts to know that we don’t have the item you’re looking for in stock, so if you ever have any questions, PLEASE hit us up and let us know!

In other news, we’ve been gearing ourselves up for Bamboozle, which is next week, and getting extra stoked on seeing all of our friends on the East Coast! If you’re going to be at Bamboozle, you need to stop by and say hello! We love meeting all of you and it makes our time away from home that much better knowing we can see our friends in different cities!

Last week we ran a contest on Twitter and six lucky winners were chosen at random! It was one of the simplest contests we’ve ever done, so if you missed out make sure you go follow us on Twitter right now! We like rewarding people for getting involved, and what better way than spreading the word about Plug Your Holes 140 characters at a time?! Also, the winners of the YouTube video response contest will be announced on Sunday, where we will be giving them a $100 PYH gift card! Bummed you didn’t win a $100 PYH gift card? Keep up with us on our YouTube page and make sure you subscribe!

As always, we love talking with all of you and are always around to answer any questions you have, so please get in touch! Have a great last few weeks of school (or beginning of summer if you’re already done), and get stoked for Bamboozle and Warped!

Cheers,

Brett and the PYH team

Hey there!

This heat wave that's barreling through Kansas City right now is awful and it has been killing our stamina, but that's not to say that we're slacking! We're still working as hard as we can to get you wonderful people what you've ordered, and keep those smiles on your pretty faces! Although, a nice cold bottle of Mountain Dew would be nice right about now...

Anyways, now that we've digressed, we want to let you know what else is new around the PYH office! We're working really hard on getting all your custom plugs made and shipped, so if you ordered a pair and are wondering where they are, trust us, they're coming! Also, we're starting to gear up for Bamboozle and Warped Tour for the summer! We're so excited to come and hang out with everyone, and can't wait to see all of our friends again! (Yes, even you too, Canada)

We're starting work on designing our new Summer line, which should be out in a couple months, and we want you guys to get as stoked about it as we are! This has by far been the best year we've had here at Plug Your Holes, and we owe it all to you! 

Last Sunday we started a contest through our YouTube page where we want you guys to create a video and submit it as a response to our weekly update! All you have to do is mock or mimic Sam and his regular update videos, and the funniest one wins $100 in PYH cash! Doesn't that sound awesome?!

Also, in keeping with the coveted "May the 4th be with you," we've got a special, one day only discount code for everyone! Just choose your side, Rebel or Imperial, and use your code to get 20% off ALL ORDERS! If you're a rebel, use code "IAMREBEL," and if you're an imperial, use code "IAMEMPIRE" when you check out! Both codes get you the same discount, but the side with the most uses gets an extra special gift with their purchase. What are you waiting for? Go get on it!

Cheers,

Brett & the PYH team

Greetings Pluggamaniacs!

These last few weeks have been great! We were just out at New England Metal Fest as well as Jamboree Fest and had a blast with everyone! Thanks so much to everyone who came and hung out. We can't wait until Bamboozle in May and Warped Tour this summer!

In other news, we've been working hard at making our new offices all-the-more homey and cozy. Our pirate ship floors (reference our Cribz video) are holding up great, and the desks we were working on are really coming along! We'll have another how-to video for you in the next couple weeks, so keep checking back!

Did anyone watch the NFL draft last night? Because I didn't. Just kidding! I'm excited that one guy from that one college is going to play his favorite position at on that one team. Aren't you?! (Seriously though, I didn't watch the draft.)

We are about to announce a contest on Sunday with our weekly update video! It will be found over on our Youtube channel (you can check it out here), and we'll be tweeting about it way too much on our Twitter page (it's right here), as well as our Facebook page.

As always, if you all have any questions or comments, please hit me up at brett@plugyourholes.com or send a tweet my way!

Have a great weekend!

Hey there sports fans!

We're all super stoked on this weather, and we've traded our coats for shorts and tee shirts and filled our propane canisters in anticipation of all the cookouts we plan to have. Hopefully this year Sam won't catch his pants on fire. 

We've been moving offices over the last week, and all the hard work has left tensions pretty high around the office. Satch and Tennant (our shipping and fulfilling guys) have been holding feats of strength to settle an ongoing dispute over who's hotter: Kelly Kelly or Mila Kunis. Satch said Kelly is the most beautiful woman in the world, and that she could put Mila in a sleeper hold in no time, but Tennant disagreed. Needless to say, some of us have had to watch our backs around the office. I think we're going to hold a cage match.

Also, we recently stained the floors of our new office space, which we're now working out of, and the fumes are still lingering. So if you get any extra weird stuff in your orders, or emails that maybe make you feel uncomfortable, just chalk it up to accidental huffing. 

We're also processing the promo shots we took last week, just in time for our new spring line that we'll be launching on Sunday! If any of you watched the weekly video update last week, you got some pretty good hints as to what's going to be on our new line! Also, I want to clarify that even though our new line is launching on Sunday, April 1, I can assure you that there will not be any tricks or jackassary that will put you in a vulnerable position where we would then shout APRIL FOOLS at you through your computer screen. I promise. No jokes. Pinky swear.

Lastly, I want to introduce myself! My name is Brett, and I'm the newest addition to the PYH team. (Yes, I'm the new guy.) I'm here to help all you fine internet people keep in touch with us. I'll be putting these blogs up every Friday, and posting videos of Sam every Sunday, in addition to running the Twitter and other social networks! If you have any questions or comments, hit me up at brett@plugyourholes.com! 

Thanks for checking in this week, and we'll see you all soon!

Okay, we lied, there is no interview with Lady Gaga. But, we've got a lot of good news we want you to hear about!

First off, we’d like to say thanks to everyone who came and hung out with us at South by Southwest, South by So What, Never Say Never Fest, and Houston We Have a Problem! We had so much fun with you guys, and can’t wait to see all our new friends again. If you have any pictures of yourselves with your new PYH swag, or pictures of us looking good, bad or sexy, send ‘em to info@plugyourholes.com. We need them for our scrapbook! (Yes, we scrapbook. Feverishly.)

Secondly, we’d like to announce our upcoming Spring 2012 line!

We’ve got a lot of great new products that we’re really excited about, and can’t wait to get ‘em in your hands! New tanks, shirts, plugs and other goodies that we know you’ll love, all dropping in the next few weeks. The new spring line will be available on April 1^st, so keep your eyes peeled and ears open.

Third, we’ve really been trying to get hip to this whole “internet” trend, and we’ve started what we call “Plug Your Holes’ Band a Day,” where we pick one of our favorite bands, and link them up on our Facebook page. If you like music, which we’re sure you do, unless you’re against music, or deaf…. you should check it out! We’ll post a different band every weekday, right around lunchtime.

In addition to our “Band a Day” project, we have updated the PYH website with a Bands section, comprised of bands and brands we support and endorse. Stop by to get a look at the Plug Your Holes family and stay up to date on who we’re partnering with. If you’d like your band or company to become a Plug Your Holes affiliate, email pat@plugyourholes.com along with links to your Facebook page and/or other relevant websites.

Lastly, if you haven’t been paying attention, or you’re new to Plug Your Holes, you’ll want to get connected with us on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and YouTube. We do random promotions through our slew of social media outlets, and if you want to get in on all the good deals, you should follow or friend us on each of ‘em! For your health!

Til next time,

Sam & the Plug Your Holes team

Well it's been a few months since the last blog (again). But late is better than never, right?

To fill you in on the past few months, I will start with the face the I am tying this up while on a plane from Australia to Thailand. "Why?" you ask. We happen to coming back from doing the Soundwave Music Festival in Brisbane and Sydney Australia. It was a great time, and we thoroughly enjoyed meeting all of PYH world that resides down under. The reason that we are headed to Thailand, is to do our best to find YOU the best in the worlds body jewelry, and meeting with companies to discuss custom PYH cuts for our clothing. Stoked? Well we sure are.

Next month we have Never Say Never, South By So What and SXSW. All of which are in Texas. So come out and rep hard. 

Free shipping February has been awesome (again), but here we sit at the cusp of March, and we need a new shtick. We want you know what you think we we should do for march. Give us some ideas that are within reason. The chosen idea will win some awesome free stuff. So make them good. 

Just submit them as comments here. 

Oh! And yes we're working on getting a new video up ASAP!

Cheers,

Sam Dean

Well Christmas is almost here, and we are getting a lot of people asking if their orders will be to them by Christmas. The answer is yes to most, but there are some exceptions. Custom Plugs take longer to make and in turn take a while to get shipped. Also understand that once it leaves our warehouse, the USPS says orders will take 3-4 days to get to the coasts, and 2-3 to the Midwest. I would love to trust this as the gospel truth, but the USPS has come short of the promises in the past, and we have to assume that it's alway possible to get it later than they say. We currently experience a 95% success rate with the USPS timelines. 

On to other cool stuff. We now have all 50 states represented in plug form. So make sure to check those out.

October already? Wow. Well we have a crap load of stuff coming up. We are going to have a super fun month of October with all sorts of Halloween exclusives, and a lot of other new stuff. We had a lot of fun dressing up hot dogs for what will surely be the 1st of many Hallowwieners! 

In addition to all of that we are also going to be changing the entire look of Plug Your Holes....again! We will slowly start to unveil the new look next week, and bring more out as the month goes on. 

Well go have fun, and keep checking back for new products, new deals and a new look!
