crapped out…

by Rob Friesel

I feel like an ass having missed the T&B Wedding Event. That being said, I had a great time on A & I’s impromptu trip to Maine this past weekend. Sunburned feet are the karmic retribution for not making it to Ohio. Returned to more work hell. Just when you thought things were starting to […]

Dystopian Ethic poses one of those questions…: …Suppose you were given 50 blank CDs by someone who had little to no knowledge of popular music, either comtemporarily or historically…. 1) How would you divide up the 50 discs? By genre? By theme? By chronology? By influence? 2) What are your “Don’t tell anyone you don’t […]

by Rob Friesel

Since iDrink.com never bothered to post the submission: Mr. Bingley Gather your ingredients: 2 measures grapefruit gin (original mix had Seagram’s but whatever) 1 measure vodka (cheap vodka is fine since it ought to be washed out by the gin here anyway) 1 can Coke (though any “cola” beverage will do) a citrus garnish (original […]
