Allagash Tripel - If you've never had a Tripel...its high alcohol, pretty sweet, and this particular one has some citrus to the flavor. It was one of my favorites last winter
Any of the Chimay's...I really like the Chimay Premier (similar to the Tripel, but a little darker with some nutty/roasted flavors too)
Haven't had the 10 Commandments, but I've heard good things about that as well
When in doubt...go to Beer Advocate and look up what people say about them...usually does a good job of telling you what it will taste like and if its well made
edit: Just saw the Hitachino...if that's the one I had in NYC, its an awesome, awesome Japanese beer. I've found it really hard to find except at places with 100+ taps

ha, didn't even see those were bottles. Paulaner is a great wheat beer...Racer 5 is a solid IPA...and I've heard a lot about Pliny the Elder. I want to say its ranked like #3 or #4 all time on Beer Advocate (only if you like hoppy though).
Also, the Framboise Lambic is good...interesting almost wine like beer that's pretty sweet and got champagne/soda like carbonation
At a place like that, tell the bartender what beers you already like...or what style you like...and they'll give you suggestions. That's how I found Hitachino and Paulaner

Oh I did the same thing - I'd recommend Pliny the Elder [Younger is better but they're both great], Magic Hat #9 [provided it's the one I think it is] and Duvel Green just because it's one of those beers which people go out of their way to try.

yeah...though Magic Hat should be pretty widely available...I know all the grocery stores I've been in on the East Coast have it. Definitely try some of the harder to find stuff (Duvel, Pliny, etc)

It gets harder to find the further West you go, so I don't know how readily available Magic Hat is in California.

You should try Hopslam when it comes out next month. It's essentially a double IPA of two-hearted ale and has an IBU of 138 [to put in perspective, a regular IPA has an IBU of 60-70] and is 10%.

12/27/09, 09:53 PM

True, I went back and looked at the lineup from last year, and it was really really solid, even though I discovered a lot of those bands this year. I'm halfway thinking about going to Lollapalooza, but it's usually hot as shit when that's held. Do you know when they announce the Sasquatch lineup?

Yeah...the Oberon is what got me into Bells's...I buy their 5L mini kegs of it and drink them in a few nights, its so, so good. I believe Bell's itself is based out of Kalamazoo...so, you are probably 15 minutes from their central operation.

Yeah, they are based out of Kalamazoo but have since moved to being more like 30 mins from me (about just 15 from where I used to live, though; I've moved across town). There used to be a shitty little brewery downtown that held some punk shows every now and then and had good prices on oberon when it was in season but it closed down. Downtown Kalamazoo is like a mini Downtown Detroit. I avoid it at all costs.

I heard the average person can't tell the difference in IBU when it gets over 100. That said, the Lagunitas Hop Stoopid is some good shit, (i think its just over 100)
Yeah...I forget the #, but really even when you get into the 80's its hard for the human tongue to really process it all. I'm sure it does also depend on the other factors of the beer too...I've made beer where the IBU's are in the 40's, but they are more bitter tasting than something in the 60's or 70's
Direct TV/Verizon Fios - Time Warner/Comcast [two different companies but you only have one cable company in your area as a legal monopoly] are shit for cable but okay for internet-only if you can find a good deal.
Yeah...you might be able to get Comcast internet for $19.99/mth...though its possible that price is only good if you have their cable as well. I don't feel too bad about what I pay for Comcast cable/internet...but, I do know it means calling in every 6 months to "cancel" and making sure my bill never goes up

Yeah, I'll be on the lookout for it...I'm fairly certain my local beer place will have it. I hope its better than Dogfishhead's 90 minute IPA, cause that shit is too syrupy, even at 90IBU
Yeah...you might be able to get Comcast internet for $19.99/mth...though its possible that price is only good if you have their cable as well. I don't feel too bad about what I pay for Comcast cable/internet...but, I do know it means calling in every 6 months to "cancel" and making sure my bill never goes up
It's sort of a mixture of the best parts of the 90 and 120.
That's exactly what I've done with Comcast and Direct TV before.

I got contacts in 8th grade - they aren't that difficult. I have two-week disposables, but I can sometimes use them for more than 2 weeks, honestly.

I don't really push into my eyeball. I rest my index finger on my eye (basically just touch my eyeball) and use my thumb to help pinch it out, I guess you can say that. You don't have to push your eyeball that much, if at all, really.

You don't really need to push... usually you just touch your eyeball lightly, then slide the contact down a little bit, then after the slide it should make it easier to do the pinch.

For the first time in my life, my eyesight has gotten to the point where I need glasses for various things. I'm gonna eventually try contacts, so I hope they feel comfortable on me.

I thought I needed glasses just for distance when driving. Put them on and was amazed at how blurry my vision had gotten. Like, leaves on trees look completely different when you finally get glasses/contacts.

It will be awesome if it's the original format and played with the classic controller. It will be a trainwreck if it involves motion controls.

No kidding. I got glasses a few months ago, and it's like going from a crappy standard television to amazing high definition. I never realized how much detail I had missed in everything because of how bad my vision got.

yup, i'm the same way. you can find some live videos of new songs on youtube (dine dine my darling, dead on the floor, in addition to this addiction) and although they're live vids, they sound promising.

Agony & Irony was disappointing, but Crimson, Good Mouring, and Infirmary still get constant plays from me. The new single is a step back into that direction.
I was told that I should have the album by the end of the week, so I'll share thoughts whenever that happens.

crimson is the worst thing they've released, in my opinion.
i'll admit, 90% of my trio listening still consists of maybe i'll catch fire and goddammit. i rarely listen to anything after infirmary.
good mourning and agony and irony were ok when they came out, but had no lasting power on me.

i'm the same way. i HATED crimson outside of a song or two and had pretty high hopes for agony & irony but that fell short. good mourning was decent and i can still spin it every now and then, but everything up to/including infirmary gets the majority of my alkaline trio listening as well.

hahahaha. i just feel like crimson was the epitome of their whole eyeliner/makeup/outfits phase where it was more about the macabre imagery than anything else.

I also remember Crimson leaking like 2.5 months early in 2005, haha I was so stoked.

01/05/10, 01:58 PM
i should also say RE: my previous post that they've always had that kind of imagery in their songs and merch and stuff, but i think starting with good mourning and continuing with crimson and the remains/scraps collections that they took it a bit too far.
this is an excellent example:

I actually think its cool...and if you have a large enough TV, it'd probably even be worth getting. My big concern is that, when movies do 3-d, they actively think through which elements come at you...I dont think a live TV broadcast can really do that, so there will be some confusing plays and even some stuff that would be disorienting.
I'd actually rather see it in a theater in 3-d, for that arena environment

Then you are looking for screen resolution, ram/memory, and a fast CPU. My suggestion would be to go to Slickdeals, find different laptops and then basically google the computer itself and the processor. You'll find some really great deals there...it'll just take a little work
I'd recommend a Mac, but the price range you are looking for isn't worth it for you...the new MacBook Pro is what all the developers and graphics people in my office use and love, but its also way overpriced unless you have an education or work discount, or its provided to you. The Macbook doesn't have the speed or resolution you want
