Hie thee to High West!

If you live in Utah, and have yet to visit High West Distillery and Saloon in Park City, then hie your ass there ASAP for food and drink.

I first heard about High West in late 2008 when I saw a bottle of their Rendezvous Rye whiskey at the State Liquor Store … a couple [...]

Rides #12/13-ish

View Larger Map

Fixed-gear; Fiddler’s Elbow … french toast, bacon, vodka, waffles, more bacon, more vodka, emptied pockets for amusement, more bacon, strawberries, more vodka, fixed-gear. A parenthetical pair of rides surrounding a good brunch with some great people.

Poetry Friday

JOEY AWAKE NOW

Some poems, right some poems.

I’m a lover of poems. And yes, we lovers of poems

must stick together. Don’t mind me. Pardon? Glenn? Glenn? Glenn. It is nice to meet you, Glenn.

You are thinking you are in luck. Because look,

a strange old man has joined you at the bar. [...]

Overindulgence

I definitely overindulged in pretty much everything except riding this weekend; especially meat and heat.

From Nancy’s 4th of July BBQ on, well … the 4th, to The Reverend‘s “America, Fuck Yeah” BBQ on Saturday night. Brats, burgers, chicken and beef skewers. Jennie’s lemon tart cookie things. Beer. Vodka. Couch-time watching the Tour.

Necessities!

Update (about 7 hours later): Sometimes, happy hour is a necessity … and the past couple of days at work definitely helped contribute to that feeling.

Met the Mistress and pal Scotty at Tuscany in Cotton Bottom for yummy vodka cocktails (007 Martini for Scotty; and Belvedere & tonic, short glass, packed with ice, [...]

Supersuckers ROCKED the 801 …

… as did Denver’s Railbenders, who were playing their first show in Salt Lake City.

Wonder how long it will take for me to ditch the cigarette smell? Wonder which will be worse … the cigarette or vodka hangover?

Boozing …

It’s so nice knowing that there are people in Utah who love their alcohol of choice as much as I do …

In this case, it’s Dr. Cross, and his non-definitive (but still pretty thorough) guide to Scotch Drinking for Beginners; and I can’t think of a more expressive quote from than this:

Wine people [...]

The Great Vodka Taste Test

The Great Vodka Taste Test

Our man in Moscow samples 11 premium brands in one wild night.

The First Nip

It was time to confront the fear. Thanks to a dare from vanityfair.com, there were 11 bottles of vodka in the freezer. When I nervously took a peek at them, I noticed that the freezers [...]

Market “corrections” …

So the past couple days, the stock market has been down; including a little mini-crash (or “market correction”) yesterday … what does this mean? Well, for me it means that since Friday, I’ve lost almost $4,000.00.

So what do I do? I take the opportunity to rebalance, shifting some money out of my stable value [...]
