Michael and Evo: Wingin’ It!

I’ve been a fan of Four Peaks Brewing Company ever since the Highland Games episode of the show a few weeks/months back. In fact, the DarkCon party I attended at LepreCon32 was stocked with a keg of Kilt Lifter, a most excellent brew.

Too bad I can’t say the same thing about their 8th Street Ale. I bougth a sixer of it over a week ago and have just finished the last one tonight. Unispring doesn’t cut it. It’s bitter, but in a skunky way, with little aroma, a harsh mouth feel and no other redeeming qualities.

If your run-in with Four Peaks has been of this variety, I implore you to forget you ever drank the 8th Street, and give the Kilt Lifter a try instead.

Andrea posted a great question as a comment and it’s answer was worthy of an entirely new post.

For those of you submitting photos to the Wingin’ It! 2007 calendar, follow these simple guidelines:

• Keep your original in large format (300 dpi, and lots of pixels in size)
• Send in a “sample” photo of much smaller proprtions (72 dpi and 500 pixels wide or tall)

Your photo can be color, black and white, all funky– you name it. But be sure to keep a high resolution copy on your system. If your image is selected by our highly qualified field of judges, it’s the big one that will go in for the finished produce. We’ll figure a way to get those later.

w00t and hats of to Jeremy from Seattle for his hard work on the official Wingin’ It! CALENDAR!

Order it now and order it often. Click the link or image above to and you can even preview the images. This is truly a fan-based calendar!

As featured on the show: Beer Openers!

Don’t be the last one in your support group to own a true piece of inspiration from the friendly people at the Dragon Page Wingin’ It!. For less than the price of large pizza, you can get the very same BEER OPENER you hear slamming down on the console every week when were record WI!.

And yes, it is every bit as cool as the chick on the left makes it seem. And very yes, her glee comes from knowing she’s more talented than the rest of us shmucks who never seem to get it on the first try. We are baffoons.

Standard issue, new in the bag - with new logo!

$15.00 includes shipping and handling

Limited edition, signed by us, and used to crack open a beer on the show! - with new logo!

$20.00 includes shipping and handling

Each comes in at 3.5 inches tall, 2 inches wide and 6.5 inches in circumference and includes the high quality image you see in the sample, which proves that you won’t get drunk with just anyone.

FYI: The ones with the old logo are all gone, and now a collector’s item. Lucky bastards to those who ordered them. All new orders processed after 5/29/06 will be supplied with the new logo. You need two, right?

The other one was interesting… but a little hard on the eyes. This one has three columns, better integration with the other “stuff” word press can do and still has the black background. But the gray text makes it easier to read, IMHO.

I still want to add a custom header image, but am accepting feedback on things. Ah, the joy of PHP and CSS coding.

Last weekend, we were at LepreCon (which is why there will be no Wingin’ It! this week). Lots of folks were snapping pictures, but Wilgar always seems to get the best shots.

Enjoy the pics, and we shall return next week. Yes, that means we’ll be recording on Saturday.

Thinks may not look quite right yet, but the damned feed has finally moved.

HUGE Props to Dan Kuykendall, the sheer fucking brilliance behind the podPress pluggin for WordPress. Not only was making the pluggin so cool, but he helped me figure out a way to keep you crazy bastards from redownloading all the shows we do. In theory. Each podcatcher behaves differently, but if it plays nice and obeys the rule, all should be good.

Oh, and Dan has a podcast. Subscribe and tell him how much you love him.

I’m going to bed. I deserve it!
