drpaisleyDid the4 work this morning, but failed to post before heading to work. Wasn't in a good mood then; things have not improved since. Dragonet got home to discover water dripping from the freezer half of the upstairs fridge. Things were still cold, just not frozen anymore. All occupants have been moved to the brand new downstairs freezer, which ate all of it without any problem. We are monitoring the fridge half to make sure it is still working. We bought this device May 2001, just after closing on this house. One would expect it to last longer than 9.5 years.
Anyway, this morning's music, stil reasonably fresh:
1) Families, Neil Young
2) Miss Me, Eleni Mandell
3) If I Viva la Vida (Starters Remix), Coldplay vs Nas
4) Dead Man's Party, Oingo Boingo (Farewell - Live From The Universal Amphitheatre - Halloween 1995)
5) Stutter, Elastica
6) Dear Doctor, The Rolling Stones
7) Sunship Balloons, The Flaming Lips
8) Tattoo, Beatmapper
9) I Make Windows, Forest Fire
10) The Lakes of Canada, Innocence Mission
more
11) You’re a Target, No Age
12) Someday, Someway; Marshall Crenshaw
13) Universe & U, KT Tunstall
The only positive note for today came after work. I went by Gomer's Midtown, where they were hosting a tasting of Southern Tier beers, including two I had not previously had, their Pale Ale and 2X IPA (both recommended highly). A couple was at the table when I came in, and at one point were reading the dense verbiage on the back of one of the bottles. The distributor rep who was pouring said, "Yeah, they like to tell stories about their beers. But you should see Stone Brewing's bottles, you need a magnifying glass to read them." I told him about bringing nack a case of Stone products from San Jose, adding "because you can't get it here, of course."
The rep looked at me and said two words that made me very happy: "This year." I must have looked doubtful, for he assured me that it was true, and that two other breweries were also going to make their Missouri debuts this year, one whose name I missed in the euphoria of the moment, and Deschutes, from the beautifully-named town of Bend, OR.
This is good news indeed for lovers of fine craft brews, and I look forward to reporting on all the new beers as they become available.

Date: 2011-01-15 10:07 pm (UTC)I was talking to a brewery rep (from Schlafly I think) who said Sam knows KC wants him to get his products into this area. But Dogfish seems to be running at full capacity (and was before the show started). No doubt demand has only increased. Big sigh.
Where's the closest place for it nowadays I wonder?

Awesome time. And Cheap.
