This is an amazing day. Almost 15 years ago myself and Eric Karkovack started SaveSURGE.Org just as it was slowly disappearing from store shelves. We worked for years and maintained until a few years back when the way more hardcore fans at the SURGE Movement picked up where we left off and worked tirelessly to make this happen.
I still remember those days back on the BevNet BevBoard when I was a sophmore in high school and back then we really had no idea how to build a movement but we figured we would try anyway since complaining on a web forum isn't gonna change anything. Thanks to Eric and the rest of those early people we put together SaveSURGE.Org but never were quite able to pull it off the goal. There were so many false starts and "almosts" from people quite high up the food chain. It was surprisingly stressful for a young pup like me!
Many props to all the people at the SURGE Movement who went the extra mile and put in blood, sweat, tears, and quite a few bucks into making this dream a reality. You guys deserve and have my total admiration. Better SURGE fans than could have ever was.
I'm just so glad and proud to have been there from the very beginning almost 14 years ago- or so says
my bio on SS.org (crazy!!). At 28 it's been half a lifetime and I honestly started to give up hope just as the Movement really found it's footing thanks to the hard work of so many people. A hearty thanks to everybody involved for making this happen and giving SURGE the 2nd chance it deserves. All those guys and gals friggin rock! Can't wait to taste the nectar while it's still warm outside and maybe for the first time in years chug it and not worry about spilling a drop!
