I’m providing you with three metaphorical brainteasers. I hope they will help you work your chutzpah back into shape now that you’re on the road to recovery. 1. Was your fright attack provoked by a venomous snake or by a garden hose that resembled a venomous snake? 2. After your pratfall, when you heard one hand clapping, did you regard it as an unforgivable insult or a humorous teaching? 3. When your healing crisis finally climaxed in a cure, was the catalyst a placebo or real medicine? Please answer these riddles even if you’ve already begun to feel fine again. It’ll help ensure that the healing will last a long time.

Friends, Updates, Love, and more Beer
Site Facelifts/Changes abound for all!
Pampelmoose : totally bangin’ and more streamlined
Grizzly Bear : beautiful and easily navigable new site design [and special bonus: freakin’ adorable cross-interview with Ed Droste (Grizzly Bear) & Owen Pallett (Final Fantasy) circa November 2006 in OUTmagazine]
Now You See Them : new blog! check em out!
~
Interesting Article in the Times about Townes Van Zandt and Steve Earle‘s new Album of Van Zandt covers, called “Townes.”
~
Also, as a follow up to the whole beer thing, I left a nice comment on the Portland Beer Blog. Those guys are awesome, and have great photography on their site.

I do realize I have been compulsively Tweeting and updating for the first time in weeks, don’t ask questions, just enjoy and send me love. And the things you’re all waiting on.. They’ll be here eventually.

the Ramblin’ News:
Just a few updates:
Day in the Life of Asheville is over my Birthday Weekend, and there will be two wonderful parties, one for Rebeccah and one for me, on the 22nd and 23rd of May (respectively).
Contact me for details, and I am in desperate need of Croquet, Bacci Ball, and Horseshoe sets for my South Shore Casual Party (think seersucker and popped collars, Kentucky Derby-ish Wear), during the day (like 1pm-7pm ) on the 23rd. I, of course, just need to borrow them for the day, and you, of course, are invited.
Also, did you hear, Asheville and Portland tied for Beer City USA? Some of the comments got a little choppy and threatening. Hey, we’re all on the same beer-loving team, y’all. (I once swore I’d never use “y’all” n the blog, but come on, this is a worthy cause..)
Apparently, MountainX and the Orange Peel are planning a party. Count me in!
p.s. I wonder if Dave Allen (of Gang of Four and the essential, Portland-based Pampelmoose blog) is aware of the Beer Feud? Well, either way, his site just got a massive and attractive face-lift, so go check it out if you haven’t already. Dave was our keynote speaker at PopAsheville this year, and boy did we all have a blast with him.

trades and tariffs by the dodos
Pace, back and forth along this road
All the stops we just go by
To the faces that we know
To the faces that we hide
Yeah we walk as if we’re told
“Not a single head held high”
To the ones we’ve come to know
To the ones we’ll lose in time
You give me yours, I give you mine
You never want it, you never want it
I gave you yours, now give me mine
I never want it, I never wanted it all
In past, a creation we defy
We’re a group of undecideds
While the fate of nation slides
We just keep from getting high
And we stick to what we know
It’s the things that get us by
We’ll just sit and spin our woe
While the rest of earth just dies
You give me yours, I give you mine
You never want it, you never want it
I gave you yours, now give me mine
I never want it, I never wanted it all
Faith, all the giving world has died
This disease that gets us by
It’s a plague in peoples’ minds
It’s a circle left untied
To the ones who drink their wine
While the rest of us just die
Yeah they raise their glasses high
To the ones they’ll kill in time
You give me yours, I give you mine
You never want it, you never want it
I gave you yours, now give me mine
I never want it, I never wanted it all
