Sleek, sophisticated, graceful and elegant: those are a few of the words that come to mind in describing the 2004 Grand Vintage from Moët & Chandon. 2004 was an excellent year for Champagne grapes, as evidenced by this beautiful blend of 38% Chardonnay, 33% Pinot Noir and 29% Pinot Meunier (these are the classic grapes used to make French Champagne).
It’s Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston (who also did time on Seinfeld) and Aaron Paul with Julia Louis-Dreyfus (not Mary-Louise Parker) in Barely Legal Pawn! Still probably not going to watch the Emmys, but thanks Television Academy!
Looking at the fallout of the summer craft events, one of the cooler trends in local jewelry to come up has been an affinity for hand made works with intricate parts. (A nice notch above that whole feather thing that looks odd and makes no sense.)
Happy Tuesday, music fans. There is some truly splendid music coming out this week, including the debut full-length album—one of my favorite records released so far this year—from Detroit rock band Jessica Hernandez & the Deltas, the sophomore album from New Zealand-born pop singer Kimbra and the fourth solo album by British singer-songwriter Imogen Heap.
Dear GYA, I've been playing Guitar Hero 5 for a few years now and I gotta admit, I am so god damn ready to shred Peter Frampton's "Do You Feel Like We Do" tonight at the Sandy Amphitheater. Do you think if I bring my TV and my XBOX to the show and completely destroy the talking guitar part, he'll let me join his band?
As they say in Game of Thrones, "All men must die," and such is the case for Dorito Man, the statue made in my likeness out of 100 pounds of Chile Limon flavored Dinamitas Doritos. After it molded in City Weekly's foyer for a few months, we reluctantly had to dispose of Dorito Man and did so in the best way possible: by dragging him out to a shooting range in the middle of nowhere and blasting him with old-timey cowboy guns.
Granary Row fans who are still bummed out that the pallet-encircled beer garden and shipping container pop-up retail space was missing-in-action in 2014 will get a taste of what they missed this weekend.
Dear GYA, Hey, it's your buddy Carl's dad, Jerry. I just got done doing one of those, uh, Ice House bucket challenges...you know, where you sit around all day drinking Ice House from a big-ass bucket?
