  1. Kev I go out to Austin sometimes, do you ever go to Fun Fun Fest? Last time I was down there, I was tattooed by Tony Hundahl and went to that music festival. Great city.

  2. Name is Thomas Storck, , 24, from El Paso, TX. Grew up skateboarding and met my mother and sister/brother for the first time when I was 18. Never knew about them for 15 years. I moved to Dallas in hopes of re-establishing a relationship with my father (which hasn't happened after 4 years). Now, I have moved on and currently going to school for Computer Networking Systems, have 1 year left for my Associates degree, interning for my friends creative design company as a web/graphic designer ( grew up free-lancing) and work part time as an Internet Researcher for a recruiting franchise. I like to box, and want to learn how to do BJJ (brazilian jiu jutsu) on my free time. Usually up until odd hours of the night drawing and reading about tattooing.

    I have my first art show I am preparing for in Aug. which I am nervous and excited for that I am getting for. Nice to read about the rest of you above. Hope you start your own brewery David, that would be sick! I love good beer too.

  3. If you like Beer Wars, check out the movie American Beer, I watched it on Netflix not sure if its still available. A group of guys go to 38 breweries in 40 days across America. A lot of history and some great stories. Made me want to start home brewing.

    Thanks going to check this out tonight !

  4. Watched this pretty recently! Not the best "production value" but pretty informative and I've recommended it to many. Even better, the guy who runs Dogfish Head, huge jock meathead type -- but also apparently a BEER GENIUS and totally hilarious. Has me spending a couple extra bucks on better beers and thinking twice about picking up a sixer of any Anheuser Busch brand, which is tough to avoid.

    Yep, that hops filter they made at the convention looked great, just hop oils being filtered out of the hops. Really made me go :eek:

    When I saw that Anheuser Bush was the company that made that Pumpkin Ale, I shook my head, I had that crap last fall, and it was disgusting....They own way too many beer companies, because they suck at making a good product.

    I'm all for micro-breweries, if you guys can, try out this beer called St. Arnolds, from Houston, Tx. I went to the brewery tour and had some of the best beer from there.

    I don't think he was a meat head tho man, he was wearing a melvins shirt and talked like a skater/surfer IMO.

  5. Nice one cfgsteak. (about the cable, not the football)

    I don't care about cable/satellite TV anyway, but I do like to pay my UK TV licence. That's where all the good shit comes from. David Attenborough/BBC wildlife and arts programmes are the best in the world.

    John Peel wouldn't have been able to have a job on the radio if the BBC didn't exist or wasn't publicly funded. I don't mind paying £145 per year for that.

    definitely love my BBC wildlife

  6. Just join private torrent forums, and you will have the best media library you can come across...these sites are tough to get into, the require invites from other members, but if you can find this site called torrent-invites...it is a good start.

    Oh internet.

  7. Well honestly, when you are wearing shirt nobody will see that going on. Go for what you like, it all doesn't have to match. But if you start something on your arm, think about what you want on your other arm. Tradtional...Japanese...Realism... depends what your into. You still have a lot of space to work with.

  8. This create a dominance in social sites v.s. apple, once again android one ups apple. They appeal the demographic already with their services and now integrating all of it into your phone. GOOGLE FTW

  9. Just watched an awesome documentary on beer. If you guys enjoy the beer from micro-breweries and small, independent companies, this you have to watch! It goes over how budweiser, coors, and miller are the corporate behemoths taking over and trying to consume what micro-breweries have been doing, and how they control a huge part of the market. These 3 corporate companies make up over 90% of the market, and try to put smaller breweries out of business. I for one hate the way that beer tastes, and never did support it.

    It was really funny to see the people that have no clue on what a real beer should taste like, or educated enough to consider that "being a bud guy" makes you a stamp of their advertising. Anyways, here is a description of Beer Wars.

    Beer Wars is a 2009 documentary film about the American beer industry. In particular, it covers the differences between large corporate breweries, namely Anheuser-Busch, the Miller Brewing Company, and the Coors Brewing Company opposed to smaller breweries like Dogfish Head Brewery, Stone Brewery and other producers of craft beer. Also covered is how advertising and lobbyists are used to control the beer market, implying that these things harm competition and consumer choice.

    Throughout the film there is a theme that the smallest breweries have next to no chance to compete due to the sheer volume of advertising and outdated beer distribution laws. The original laws demanded a three tier system to separate the powers of selling beer. The law demands that the beer brewer cannot deliver directly to the retailer, supposedly creating a separation of powers resembling the US government's congress, judicial, and executive branches. The film claims these laws are now inhibiting growth of smaller brewers and therefore allowing the largest brewers (Coors, Anheuser-Busch, and Miller) to maintain a monopoly on beer.

    The film was written, produced, narrated, and directed by Anat Baron, former head of Mike's Hard Lemonade.

    This is on Netflix.
