In case you haven't figured it out, no one gets out alive. Our advice? Slow down and savor the moment. Where ever you are, be there. And since you're here, why not get to know us a little better?

Spend time wisely on Mad Gringo's blog Beyond the Oyster Juice
Be one of Mad Gringo's fans on Facebook - they tell me when I get to 1000 I can get a "vanity" URL. Not sure what it is, but I know that I want it.
Do you use Twitter? Really? What a coincidence...Mad Gringo CEO and Mad Greg have accounts but don't get to them as often as this guy: @badbanana (and we aren't as funny either)
Make friends with Internet cooking sensation Scott McNulty. He wears Mad Gringo shirts, and he doesn't say, "BAM!" constantly.
Pull up a stool and hang out with Tikitender. He wears Mad Gringo shirts. And he's a wiz with the blender.

THE MAD GRINGO
INSTITUTE FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SLOWNESS

This is where Mad Gringo reports the results of highly scientific case studies, dispenses travel tips and hangs out when he's trying to nap. Right now it consists of a shelf that will support the immense weight of Mad Gringo but soon it will be staffed with the brightest minds in the fields of Naps, Blender Science, and Unproductive Time at Work.

If you would like to donate to the Institute, we've set up a PayPal account for the purpose.

We're not officially a non-profit or anything. Heck, we're barely a business. So in return for your donation we'll send something fun your way. Make sure to give us your size and address so we can surprise you with the magic of Mad Gringo's love.

Once we get enough to rent that place in Key West for the month, we'll be putting together a symposium. All the donors will be invited. I swear.

There you have it. Not quite a movement yet, but we're trying.

Go slow.

Mad Gringo.
