getting beer cold
I’m hoping for a better 2006 for everyone. Lots of topics to try and cover in this delayed post.
Our friends at Tiny Showcase still have a great print by Ron Rege Jr. and Catbird Records has their forth release available. Recently I have been advising in getting a copy of Sublime’s “40 oz. To Freedom” on vinyl and another version has appeared, a Glow-In-The-Dark version in a pressing of 1000. A little pricy at close to $40, but essential for Sublime fans.
With this contest entry you have a chance at a new $1Million dollar house in Wyoming. It’s completely free by entering your name, address and e-mail and you can enter once a day until February 17th. Last year there were 36 million entries but I think that’s better than any lottery. Keep in mind you will need and estimated 650K to actually live in the house and of the past 11 winners, 9 have sold immediately.
A Mythbusters worth talking about. Simple premise: How fast can you get a room temperature (62 degrees) six-pack of beer cold enough (32 degrees) to drink?
Simple answers:
Refrigerator – 45+ minutes
Ice in Styrofoam cooler – 40 minutes
Freezer – 30 minutes
Ice + water + iodized salt in Styrofoam cooler– 5 minutes.!!!
Fire Extinguisher – 3 minutes
So, if you are in a hurry to get your beverage cold, get some salt. Amazing.
