Party Time Nate’s Post Snowboarding Gourmet

You're a snowboarder, which means you are either broke, or pretending to be. No matter how little money you have though, you probably still like to eat on a regular basis, and chances are, you hit the drive through more than you like to admit. And why the hell not? It's cheap and easy, and it sure does taste good after a long day of 'boarding. The same old fast food can get mighty boring though, so with a little inspiration from fancyfastfood.com, Party Time Nate set out to create a gourmet meal with a few things we picked up on the drive down from the mountain. If you'd like…

A Garden for Party Time!

Remember when I used to post before and after pictures of home improvements? These days, the house is pretty much done so the dramatic improvements are limited, and I've had nothing to blog. Lucky for me, there is no shortage of improvements to be made at Nate's house and this weekend, I decided I would up his curb appeal and put in a garden. I wish I had the real before picture, with the beds all overgrown with weeds, but you'll have to use your imagination on that part. Before After \ PS. I have a new hobby.

Hump Day Halloween Spectacular

Party Time Nate as "The Hoff" Halloween is this Sunday. Do you have your costume picked out yet? If you're like me, probably not, and on Saturday you'll schlep on over to Goodwill and end up with whatever ridiculous getup is leftover. But this year, why not plan ahead a little bit (seriously at this point it's only a couple days) and figure out what to be right now! To help, Party Time Nate donned several costumes made almost entirely out of snowboard gear you may very well already have, or at least if you have to buy, you'll be able to use again before next Halloween. So this weekend,…

YoBeat’s Get Ready Guide Part 1: Tats!

Summer is winding down, which means it's time to start getting ready for the season. Perhaps you've done this once or twice before, but this upcoming season isn't just any season. No, this is the '10/'11 season, which means there's a long list of new products, trends and other important factors you must take into account when determining what you'll need when the first snow flies. Never fear, your friends here at YoBeat have done the research for you, and starting now we'll be dropping stories that will be your guide to success and glory this season.

Top Chef Part 3

After losing the soup off, and the Totino's Party Pizza challenge, I figured it was time to let some other people do the cooking. I brushed up on my hosting skills by studying Padma for weeks (not really) before we headed to Seattle for this latest Top Chef installment. This time it was legendary pro snowboarder Peter Line competing against my former challenger, Party Time Nate, and the theme was hot dogs! Peter was kind enough to host in his insane Seattle pent house that sort of made me feel bad about my own home. Maybe I shouldn't have given up on being a pro snowboarder after all... It was…

Happy Holidays from YoBeat

This year at YoBeat we really got into the Christmas spirit. We are like a family and we have a lot to be thankful for, plus, holidays make for easy content! Our greatest achievement this holiday season, however, was our holiday card shoot. Many lucky industry types have already had the above e-card delivered directly to their inboxes by Santa himself, but on this most joyous of holidays, we present to you the outtakes! For this shot we were summing up our various roles at YoBeat. You'll notice Party Time Nate drinking, Zimmerman taking a photo with his iPhone, Nick Lipton being a pain in my ass and me reading…

Wet Hot American Summer

Last weekend was some holiday celebrating the independence of America or something. I don't know, I am not real big on loud holidays, so I celebrated by drinking quietly. But I finally made it out to take advantage of the sweltering Portland heat with a river trip on Sunday. Rather than the shallow, crowded Sandy River, we headed an hour north to the Washougal. Not only does the river have a cool name, but tons of deep water and places to jump into. And we lucked out with the crowds, being that there were none. The water was ours, and a few Miller High Lives and good friends, my first…

Our greatest achievement this holiday season, however, was our holiday card shoot. Many lucky industry types have already had the above e-card delivered directly to their inboxes by Santa himself, but on this most joyous of holidays, we present to you the outtakes! For this shot we were summing up our various roles at YoBeat. You'll notice Party Time Nate drinking, Zimmerman taking a photo with his iPhone, Nick Lipton being a pain in my ass and me reading…

Wet Hot American Summer

Last weekend was some holiday celebrating the independence of America or something. I don't know, I am not real big on loud holidays, so I celebrated by drinking quietly. But I finally made it out to take advantage of the sweltering Portland heat with a river trip on Sunday. Rather than the shallow, crowded Sandy River, we headed an hour north to the Washougal. Not only does the river have a cool name, but tons of deep water and places to jump into. And we lucked out with the crowds, being that there were none. The water was ours, and a few Miller High Lives and good friends, my first…

Party Time Nate’s Post Snowboarding Gourmet

You're a snowboarder, which means you are either broke, or pretending to be. No matter how little money you have though, you probably still like to eat on a regular basis, and chances are, you hit the drive through more than you like to admit. And why the hell not? It's cheap and easy, and it sure does taste good after a long day of 'boarding. The same old fast food can get mighty boring though, so with a little inspiration from fancyfastfood.com, Party Time Nate set out to create a gourmet meal with a few things we picked up on the drive down from the mountain. If you'd like…

A Garden for Party Time!

Remember when I used to post before and after pictures of home improvements? These days, the house is pretty much done so the dramatic improvements are limited, and I've had nothing to blog. Lucky for me, there is no shortage of improvements to be made at Nate's house and this weekend, I decided I would up his curb appeal and put in a garden. I wish I had the real before picture, with the beds all overgrown with weeds, but you'll have to use your imagination on that part. Before After \ PS. I have a new hobby.

Hump Day Halloween Spectacular

Party Time Nate as "The Hoff" Halloween is this Sunday. Do you have your costume picked out yet? If you're like me, probably not, and on Saturday you'll schlep on over to Goodwill and end up with whatever ridiculous getup is leftover. But this year, why not plan ahead a little bit (seriously at this point it's only a couple days) and figure out what to be right now! To help, Party Time Nate donned several costumes made almost entirely out of snowboard gear you may very well already have, or at least if you have to buy, you'll be able to use again before next Halloween. So this weekend,…

Top Chef Part 3

After losing the soup off, and the Totino's Party Pizza challenge, I figured it was time to let some other people do the cooking. I brushed up on my hosting skills by studying Padma for weeks (not really) before we headed to Seattle for this latest Top Chef installment. This time it was legendary pro snowboarder Peter Line competing against my former challenger, Party Time Nate, and the theme was hot dogs! Peter was kind enough to host in his insane Seattle pent house that sort of made me feel bad about my own home. Maybe I shouldn't have given up on being a pro snowboarder after all... It was…
