A rock’n’roll way to smashing away stress

Sounds like there is a more fun way to relieving the pressure of life’s trials and tribulations beyond squeezing a boring old stress ball.

Out in San Diego, comes news of ‘Sarah’s Smash Shack’ where stressed out customers pay to smash plates and even whole rooms. As their website states ‘because sometimes...you just need to break something!’

Their goal is to allow people to let go, let loose and go home with a smile on their face. The inspiration for the Smash Shack came when co-founder Sarah Lavely was at an especially low point in her life. She literally woke up one day and thought "I wish I could just go somewhere and break some things. I should open a shop where people can come and break stuff!" And, so the Smash Shack was born.

So perhaps rather than wanton vandalism, those old rock’n’roll stars might just having been smashing up hotel rooms as a means of helping blow away life’s shit storms.

Finally, (slight tongue in cheek thought) could there be a Web Shack version of the Smash Shack? Possibly a brand sponsored area where online users get to erase their frustration through the destruction rather than construction of a website?
