Got the email the other day about Orin Swift celebrating Dave Phinney's 51st birthday.

For the occasion, they had 51% off all bottles for 51 minutes starting at 3:00pm Pacific.

I noticed the email around 5:10pm Central (3:10pm Pacific) so thought I'd check it, even though I'm not a huge Orin Swift fan.

Could not get the site to load. Constant 503 Error messages. Couldn't log-in to my account.

So obviously they were so swamped, it broke their site (and they acknowledged as much).

Apparently they got things back up & running after the deadline, so they honored the offer until midnight, but I never went back to check as I'd lost interest in the whole thing. I'd have been up to snag a few bottles of Palermo, but wasn't worth dealing with the frustration.

Did anyone else see the offer, or get in to order?
