Smash & Squeeze

Thanks y’all!

❤️ For drinking Smash & Squeeze lemonade ❤️

❤️ For supporting me and my small business ❤️

❤️ For helping me make it to another Monday ❤️

And now a poem by Richard Brautigan:

Cyclops

A glass of lemonade
travels across this world
like the eye of the cyclops.

If a child doesn’t drink
the lemonade,
Ulysses will.

(from: “The pill versus the Springhill mine disaster” by Richard Brautigan 1968)

Peace & Lemonade y’all!

😎 fun week 😎

I had so much fun Wednesday afternoon serving lemonade for their parents appreciation week! Thank you for choosing ❤️

And big thanks to for featuring at your annual pie contest 🥧🍰

I’ll see all of you this coming Sunday morning from 9-12 🤩 in Galveston

Do you need the best lemonade guy in this particular dimension at your special event? DM me and I’ll give you a call 😎

Peace & Lemonade y’all!

❤️ What a tough week everybody ❤️

I want to give out a special thank you to my friends Kaboom Books for letting me set up my stand in front of their store this Saturday. And a big huge thank you to all the people involved with Galveston's Own Farmers Market and all the wonderful people of Galveston. Every Sunday Smash & Squeeze visits your island to make you some lemonade, and you never disappoint 🥰

I am incredibly thankful to have a home, a business, and to touch on and be part of such resilient communities. All my events were rescheduled which translates in a huge loss of revenue for the last week, and continuing for this coming week. However, serving lemonades in front of the bookstore this Saturday, and visiting with all the vendors, volunteers, and the GOFM team this Sunday makes it all okay. It really does ❤️

🙏 Also, a big thank you to all the Linemen & women who are out there busting their asses to get our power back on so that we can all get back to our daily lives. Big thank you! 🙏

🇺🇸🇺🇸COME EAT SOME PIE and drink some LEMONADE this afternoon Monday July 15th starting at 5pm in the Heights! At the old Fire Station on 12th Street & Yale. The event is open to the public starting at 6pm. You can drop off your pie for the contest at 5pm. Good ol’ American Pie Contest! Don’t miss it 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Peace & Lemonade y’all!

!!COMMUNITY ALERT!!

** Saturday 13 July 2024, Smash & Squeeze will be at Kaboom Books selling lemonade at $5 a pop for 24oz until we run out
** UPDATE ** The Lemonator is hiding in his cave. He will come out Saturday - he will be next to a bookstore
** See Comments ❤️

$5 goblet of 24ounce lemonade at yet undisclosed location - tips are always accepted - and by a tip I don’t mean your opinion :-)

The Lemonator - slightly unorthodox acquaintance of the Head Lemon Squeezer - will be out performing what is known in the biz as “guerilla lemonating” this afternoon somewhere in The Heights of Houston, Texas

That’s all I know so far. More as soon as I find out what’s actually happening - when The Lemonator calls, save yourself the trouble don’t bother arguing: Yes, Sir. Absolutely, Sir. How high, Sir. $5 dollar sir? Isn’t that too low for the best lemonade this side of the Mississippi, Sir? Yes, Sir. I understand, Sir. $5 dollar it is, Sir. Until we run out, Sir. Yes, Sir.

Please stay posted and CHECK back here for the address & starting time

Peace, Lemonade, & Poetry - ALWAYS!

😎 When a hurricane comes to town, go outside to see which way the wind is blowing 😎

Answer: Every which way all at once

Unfortunately Galveston edition was cancelled 😞 for the second time. It has now been rescheduled to September.

However Smash & Squeeze will be this Sunday so come say hello! And buy some lemonade from me, I’ve got a ton of lemons to go through 🍋🍋🍋

I’ll also be on Monday at the old fire station on 12th street for their 50th Birthday Celebration and of course their yearly Pie Contest! The best part? I’ll be giving away FREE lemonade - accepting tips - and hopefully eating lots of pie 😊

I know so many of you still don’t have power, I’m so sorry. This is tough. I don’t have any words of wisdom except: Hang in there! If I can be of assistance, let me know.

Peace & Lemonade y’all

Looking for a friendly person to help me make refreshing drinks on First Friday in Bryan, Texas. Ideal person will have either Barista or Bartending experience. However what is most important is attitude. You must be 18 years or older, must be able to move fast, stay on your feet for 5+ hours, and stay smiling while serving non stop for 5 hours. This is a fun job, however it is fast paced. You will need to be able to download the POS app on your phone.

If hired, you will arrive at 4pm to help me set up, work until we’re done, and help break down. We’re usually done by 11pm or earlier

This is perfect for University students. Easy money for a just a few hours of work once per month.

I pay $15/ hour + tips. This is a contract position, meaning you will have to fill out a 1099 and do your own taxes

Thank you & can’t wait to meet you!
