About the Show
The final two days leading up to the launch of the Obox Signature Series involved no sleep, last minute issues and a lot of stress.
During the final few hours before launch I decided that this stuff needed to be documented.
We had server issues, checkout issues and general lack of sleep issues. However despite all that we refused to give up and after 50+ hours of no sleep we managed to just barely cross the finish line.
This video highlights some of the moments that we filmed during that final stretch.
Enjoy.

GO BOYS!
Ah! What an inspiration! I don't think I could've done that, there would have been tears!!
You get back what you put out, so watch out for a tidal wave of awesomeness! Much love.

@Simon - lol, I bet it was. All in the name of a good show mate ;)
@Lauren - I was crying inside, trust me, very hard!
@Ngassmann - We've sorted it out now, but at the time, we had to come up with a quick fix.

@Ngassmann - It was just a temp fix. We fixed it on the day of the launch but initially we had to do it old school.

Woweee you poor guys!! What a horrible feeling to have some code break or something just *not* work at a time like that.
Amen to having family to rely on in those times!
Keep up the good work and Tweet soon D
