food is...

to have sausage and corn on the grill with friends

what it means to throw a party with jackie..

and leave me in charge of the boom boom punch..

and her in charge of beer- yes that's the washing machine.

...and enjoying another night at the office.

why one drinks:

because you drive to houston, go back an hour on 290 to pick up natasha whose car broke down, and then head back to houston one more time.

because anvil bar and refuge hosted six of austin's best bartenders

because that's a devil's mustache (mezcal, cynar, and orange bitters)

because that's a devil's mustache, a "what's up doc?" for the second time, all after a montego matica, olvos de tejas, and campari swizzle. and I bought a new hat.
