UD | Your Summer Needs This. All of This.

If you have trouble reading this email, go to the online version 06/18/13   Hot Topic All the Tools You Need for Summer In three days, it’ll officially be summer. Which... yeah, pretty arbitrary—you’ve been summering for weeks now. And somehow, doing so without the aid of bottle-opening titanium sunglasses and indestructible Solo cups. Well, no more. Herewith, all the necessary tools for summer survival...     THE DRINKING VESSELS The Rambo of Red Solo Cups   You know Solo cups. They’re... red. And cups. They’re not made out of 100% stainless steel and stored in a bombproof aluminum briefcase. Unless they’re these particular suds-servers. Really, there’s no universe in which you shouldn’t own these.   411: CUPS Co., elevate your cups game here     THE SOUNDTRACK Finding Live Bands for Your Backyard   It’s not a proper backyard barbecue without a live folk band. Or a one-man trance DJ. Or the entire Bone Thugs-N-Harmony crew. So here’s a new Airbnb-like website that’ll let you book those artists and rent all the necessary equipment. So, yes, they have fog machines.   411: Gigit, book some musical greatness here     THE SHADES Your Sunglasses, Now a Bottle Opener   It’s simple. Somebody made the executive decision that you should be able to open a beer with your sunglasses. So they went and made you some Wayfarer-esque shades out of titanium and carved little bottle openers into the arms. There’s absolutely no way this could end badly.   411: William Painter Titanium Sunglasses, conquer UV rays and bottle caps here     THE SURFING APP Don’t Go Surfing Without This   Surfline: they’re basically the Weather Channel of surf reports. Your iPhone: it’s basically that electronic thing you’re unhealthily tethered to. Put them together, and you’ve got this app that displays 140 live surf break webcams across the country. Now to learn how to surf...   411: Surfline, get really in-depth about riptides here     THE EVERYTHING ELSE A Collection of Summer Essential Perks   Summer is a complex, complicated beast. So we’ve gone ahead and gotten you some help. Also, some Perks. Think: the most delicious iced coffee, the handsomest hidden flasks and the best lawn game ever imported from Sweden. Sounds good, we know. We’ll be doing this all summer. Starting... now.   411: UD Perks Summer Guide, do your summer a huge favor here UrbanDaddy is pure editorial. You can't buy love from the Daddy.
