West Eleven Cocktails
If your only memories of drinking cocktails are limited to shoddy parties full of Sex on the Beach, then it’s time to revisit the cocktail experience. Enter West Eleven. Touted as a grown-up, more refined, sophisticated version of the sometimes less than elegant cocktail drink, West Eleven packs high-quality, fresh, authentic ingredients to produce tantalizing flavors like Passionfruit Mai Tai and Blueberry Bramble. London mixologist Ben Reed was brought on board to dream up the tasty concoctions, with their tantalizing aromas and rich taste. West Eleven’s quality is reflected in its design too, which boasts a handmade feel that echoes the authenticity of the product itself. Better yet is its simple functionality: just chill, pour over heaps of ice, and enjoy.

I can’t remember an alcoholic character on Star Trek, but maybe I’m just not nerdy enough. This flask is pretty rad though, perfect for the rowdy, surly ones at the convention.
Oh boy, this is fun. Omaha’s Tilly and the Wall are kitsch-cool-camp-vauderville meets pop-folk-flamenco, with a tap dancer for a drummer and some serious, serious charisma for a calling card.

Last weekend I went to the Golden West in Baltimore to check out the What Cheer? Brigade, a marching band from Providence. I wasn’t expecting much, but when they opened with a cover of Slayer’s Raining Blood, my knees buckled. I think I could hear a musak version of that riff, and I’d still bang my head. The rest of the band’s set was just as riotous, with people dancing so hard, you’d think we were at Mardi Gras. I haven’t had that much fun at a show in ages.
