The Zane Train

Zane Lamprey is one of my heroes. Two seconds into the pitch video below, you'll know why.

I loved—and still love—Three Sheets, I rue that I haven't been able to watch Drinking Made Easy, and I've soaked in the Zane Lamprey Show podcasts. Hell, I've even read his book (Three Sheets "the book") and had Pleepleus riding copilot on my trip to Brewski Fest, where I proceeded to get Steve McKenna'd.

So, obviously, I'm proud to help out his Kickstarter project, especially if it could lead to Zane bringing all of the fun of boozing around the globe (responsibly) back to my life (...responsibly?). I only regret not helping to get the word out sooner. Pleepleus would expect better of me. So here we go. Chug or bust!





So whaddya say, On the Rocks fans? Think this might be something worth backing? Of COURSE it is. Let's help Zane get Chug started off strong by kicking in on the keg.

Only 21 days to go.

The Patron Challenge

A few thoughts:

1. This is an incredibly reckless waste of Patron. Any true drinker (especially one on a budget) will be as disappointed as I was to see such a delicious nectar tossed aside so casually.
2. How dedicated of a friend/girlfriend/relative does this chick have to be to sign up for her role? If she's a little sister, she's either repaying a favor or banking on cashing this in for one in the future; if she's a friend, she's trying to become his girlfriend; and if she's his girlfriend, she's trying to become his wife. No other scenarios add up. None.
3. If the fact that they're filming this in a parking garage doesn't register as an omen to you (and there's a special irony in him standing in a handicapped parking spot)...
4. Not sure whether to dub his last words a "Captain Obvious" moment, or an "Understatement of the Year" contender. Almost seems like something can't qualify for both of those at once; but, trust, this definitely does.



Kev with the assist.
