The Vitamin Water Connection

Before the fest, if there wasn't a lot to do in the office on a given day, one project was to secure free items for the filmmakers "swag bags." I deemed this a daunting task, and never really knew what to do. One day, someone commented that Vitamin Water would be nice, so the filmmakers would have something to drink. So I said, fine. I'll look into it. I perused vitaminwater.com looking for a person to contact, or something, or anything. Then, from the other room, Donald said that if I needed help, he had a Vitamin Water connection. I thanked him and thought for a moment about how I'd forgotten that I, too, have a Vitamin Water connection. Alan, my neighbor two floors down in the dorm my freshman year always had cases of VW in his room. His mom was a nutritionist, and she got them for free. So, I called him up, and got his mother's email address. Fast forward to a few emails later, and cases "Defense," (the purple-ish one) and "Power-C" (the pink-ish one) were en route to the AAFF.
