Dark Lord Imperial Stout – Three Floyds Brewing Co.

Earlier this year, Sheryl and I started writing a blog together. We had tried to find a subject for ages, and went back and forth with a travel blog for the longest time. I travel a ton for work, and she has been traveling a lot with school and with me on various weekend getaways and vacations. From the time we leave to for the airport, we are always together. We are on the same flights, and staying in the same hotels… eating and drinking at the same places. But the blog went [...]

Artist Interview: 1-on-1 with Terra Naomi

Oh man, does this lady have a good voice. Good doesn’t even do it justice. This woman has an AMAZING voice. I was surfing around the other day on Google+ and I saw a video that my friend Peg Fitzpatrick shared. It was of Terra, singing. But the funny thing about me finding this video on Google+ was that this video was a video about Google+… random, I know. But Terra has a ton of connections on Google+ and she decided to write a song about [...]

Let’s Get Wet: The Price of Water Usage

We all need this stuff… it’s is one of the world’s most precious resources. As a matter of fact, our bodies are pretty much made of this stuff. The overall percentage varies by gender, age and body structure but adult males are 60% water. So this is nothing to joke around about. But the reason I wrote this blog post was not to discuss water itself, but the price of water. The price of water is going up, more water is being wasted than ever [...]

Know Your BURNING MAN

I have never been to Burning Man… but I want to go! I missed it again this year, but I tried to follow a lot of it on Twitter. Granted, it’s not the same. Based on what I have heard of this festival, a city is pretty much just erected in the middle of the desert for a week of music, art, and nonsense. Since I have never been, and I hear about it all the time, I wanted to research it a little bit. I found out a LOT of interesting things about this party in the desert. Maybe I will make it [...]

Matthew Landan – Barista, Bar Owner, Comic Book Reader, & World Traveler

As most of you know, we love to travel. We are always going somewhere, whether it’s just for the weekend or on a longer vacation to some remote island somewhere. We love traveling, seeing the world, and experiencing different cultures. One of those trips we recently made was to Louisville, Kentucky. It’s not far, maybe two hours from our place, and offered us a nice getaway before winter. While we were there, we danced in some clubs, sipped craft brew at some [...]
