Social Faux Pas

I was on a social faux pa roll this weekend. Between staring blankly at acquaintances I ran into at the pumpkin patch (sorry guys), to introducing myself to someone I've met several times before, I pretty much win the spaz award.

Rock Out With Your Cocktail Out Vol. IV

Rumor has it, due to a less than adequate harvest this year, the price of apple cider will rise. Better stock up if you want to make the October Rock Out With Your Cocktail out drink, Sparkling Chambord Cider. Awesome playlist availability not affected by bad apples.

Spring 2013 Peek into Punk

Talk to a twenty-something with a mohawk, band t-shirt, karabiner with at least 15 keys, and full sleeve and he'll probably be able to tell you which bar sells PBR, or explain that although his band sounds precisely like Fugazi, it's it's own thing man. But he probably won't know who Steven Cox and Daniel Silver of Duckie Brown are or think his DIY studded belt belongs in a museum. Until now, but on his own terms, because he will rebel if you force him.

The Folk Punk Ruckus of Larry And His Flask

Lately I’ve been digging the supporting acts as much, if not more, than the headliners. Cadence Weapon during the Japandroids show, Math the Band on tour with Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, and as of Friday, Larry and His Flask at the Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls show, September 7th, Royale, Boston.

Rock Out With Your Cocktail Out Vol. III

I have unintentionally acquired a lot of school teacher friends who are pretty much the biggest whine faces on the internets. You are two days into work after a three month vacation. You are not allowed to have a Christmas break count down already! I love you guys, but honestly, screw you. Know how my summer was? It was a big pile of paper work and hearing about how much you love the beach.

This drink is dedicated to all the hardworking office folk like myself who need a break. Forget an apple for the teacher, here's a caramel apple martini for the executive. And a fucking good playlist too.
