How is Adam Getting His Drink On?
“THE MINT JULEP” at The Thirsty Crow The most common sight at Silverlake’s Thirsty Crow Bar has to be a revolving door of hipsters grumbling about “stupid hipsters” going in, and giggling dribbly customers coming out. I’m of the school of practice what you preach. If you say you hate hipsters, don’t use hipster products:...
LA Playlist: “Heartbreaker”
“HEARTBREAKER” by MSTRKSRFT feat. John Legend Yes, occasionally, I will listen to some pop music. And this is the best kind of pop. The kind of music you want to drive into Vegas with. The kind of music that soaks up your smiles when you’re in love. Plus, it’s got one of my (very few)...

Adam’s BookIt Club: “Kavalier & Clay”
That’s right, another trip to RetroJunk.com has riddled me with a drive-by Melody Lane-ing. Pizza Hut’s BookIt program, that’s awesome/awful little blue buttons that promoted reading/lying-about-reading in order to gain Pizza Points.
