I saw Prince there about a year before he passed so I'm probably never going to another show at Warner, cuz what could possibly top that?
(And Stevie came out during the encore!)
Happy heavenly birthday to the most influential woman I've ever known, my mother. A true history maker:

Not to hype a big brand too much but @SierraNevada has some really tasty low-ABV beers. Their Mellow Little Thing Hazy IPA (4.5), Pils (4.7) and Go-Two IPA (2.8) have been among my go-to's this year, no pun intended, this year. The Pils especially has been my absolute favorite.
Wait, you didn't have Buffalo & Bergen or Bullfrog? Also, that's a ton of alliteration.
I ranked DC bagel shops earlier this year. Then I heard from readers taking me to task for some places I missed. So I took the top three suggestions - Brooklyn Bagel, Buffalo & Bergen, and Bullfrog Bagels - and added them to the survey. Link below!

Quietly building an empire.
EXCLUSIVE: The Last Straw looking to open in the former Bar Pilar space at the end of the month. Read about their plans and prepare for a properly poured Guinness! - See which teams they'll be home to. Also they want to know which college team to support: popville.com/2026/10/the-las…
Corn Flakes and Raisin Bran. Because those were my dad's two favorite cereals and he'd mix them together.

😂 CLASSIC! Laura Loomer interrupts a House hearing, and Congressman Billy Long responds with FAKE AUCTION CALLS to drown her out. ABSOLUTE GOLD. 🤣🤣
Not the biggest fan of the person you're referring to but I think his point was that because of Eebee's, other new bars are going to try to dub themselves as "neighborhood bars" from a marketing standpoint.
I think. (Ugh, how am I defending him?)

Just say YOU don't like beer. It's okay.
Unpopular opinion; No one - literally not a soul - actually enjoys the taste of beer. Not a single human. Those who claim to enjoy beer, don’t actually. It’s really just a social ritual, a form of self deception… the impact of decades of stacked marketing to convince you that beer is anything but an alcohol delivery mechanism. You can enjoy getting sloshed. You can enjoy the social liberation that alcohol offers. You can enjoy the party. But don’t act like you actually like the taste of beer. You don’t. You might think you do. But you don’t. Because it tastes like it looks: bitter dehydrated piss, with bubbles. In the case of Guinness, like diarrhea, with bubbles. And you know it.
This weather is great but it means the mosquitoes are sticking around. Can we get a week of below 50 degree weather so they can die already?
Question: Do I like this negroni that I made in which I swapped out vermouth and replaced it with red wine more?
I think so?
So I already knew that 2027 was going to be a double milestone year for me personally and professionally. I turn 50 in February and this will be my 20th year in Specialty Coffee. However...
Does this mean I want to open a cafe? Possibly, but not necessarily. I genuinely have no idea what the next step is. For all I know I could step away from the industry altogether, not to brag but my career has been pretty exemplary.
