Voltron

I have no idea but find it very odd that Ayre would lend its name to something sold by a different company.

Tonight is Trombone Shorty with Los Amigos Invisibles at the Fillmore, and Monday night is The Decemberists at The Fox Theater.

How were the Amer and the Brooklyn, Jim? Yesterday, I pretended I didn't have to work and could just drink away the afternoon with a former law partner. At "lunch" at 21st Amendment, I had the Lower de Boom barleywine, the Lord & Master strong English blond, and half a 21 Rock triple IPA. After walking back to the office and "working" a bit, I stopped in at Magnolia to complete one of my Strong Beer Month tickets. I started with a Pride of Branthill strong bitter and a Tweezer Tripel, only to discover that there was one more beer to go on that ticket. Wisely, I chose to wait for another day, because 4.5 strong beers was more than enough for one afternoon/evening. I just may have to stop off today for that last one, though.

It might make me a post count snob, but not a post count whore.

Yeah, that's what my garbled "example" was supposed to mean, but you said it a lot clearer.

Wait for June, impatient monkey.

I just looked at the first post in that thread this week and was blown away. It is either an example of the right thing to do for Head-Fi today or proof of his severe OCD, or both.

Probably changed because it was an obvious and idiotic trademark infringement.

I was super close to getting the MBA twice this week but I am not traveling a lot until this summer so I am going to wait and see if this refresh really happens. 11 incher is definitely the move.

He is sticking his neck out pretty far because he now has three rooms rented. I would guess that is about $1200 so he wants to make sure to get his nut covered.

Yes, but he had to take that down. Now, for some reason, he is asking people to contribute to the room *and* to put money into a raffle. Those are really supposed to be one and the same in my book.

Congrat Manuel! Ride safe. I bought these two on Wednesday:

And how many of them have mire than 10 posts in other threads on HF? I will be in Tahoe that weekend anyway, but the attendee list is an indictment of what is wrong with HF today.

When those places say "sleeps 17" they mean there are beds for 17, not room on the floor for 17 Aerobeds. I could fit 57 people into a place like that!

You had better lay in a supply of the most appropriate beers possible for this event:

I guess I'll have to ask Duggeh if it was Cynar he mentioned and the accent turned it into Chinato in my brain.

Boulevardier Cocktail a la Duggeh 1.5oz Old Rip Van Winkle 107 proof 1oz Cocchi Barolo Chinato 1oz Perucchi Italian Vermouth Orange peel If I was hearing correctly then Doug told me recently that he likes to substitute Chinato for Campari in cocktails. Pretty tasty.

The horrors!

[although "rofs" -- rolling on floor snoring -- would be even more appropriate]

Those glasses are even hotter than the one I got during CJ. Nice!

This is a very cool idea in a timeframe that I have very little chance of making it. I will subscribe to your newsletter and follow the progress.

Miles Davis -- Bitches Brew Live and Newport Jazz

I hope your butler at the Marriott brought you a cake with a maid to pop out of it. Cheers!

Just to be clear, Bryan, NEVER pass up Black Hole or Brunch because they are awesome. The barrel aged versions of Black Hole was an experiment and the bourbon and whiskey were both fantastic and the rum and wine were merely excellent. JP likes the wine version most of all, by the way.

Congrat Shelly, that is a great testament to you. Although Claire loves teaching high school, I am certain that if her big-shot PhD advisor had made a real effort she would have gotten a proper tenure-track job and would still be a professor. Naaman cannot come home soon enough because he needs to get out of that hellhole but also so I can drink the last of my Parker's 27! You mean there is something in that picture other than the Parker's 27? The FiftyFifty completely blew the Mikkeller out of the water in my book, and I thought the Mikkeller was awesome. If you can find a bottle of the Four Roses or the Evan Williams especially you should go for it. There is a Pappy 23 version from an earlier year that I would LOVE to get somehow. Sacriliege, burn him!
