 He Occasionally Takes an Alcoholiday or: The Wake (2543 + 14)

Salutations™!! Today, I learned some very sad news. Finnigan’s Wake will be closing its doors permanently on October 30. Finnigan’s Wake is THE reason the Arts District in Downtown Winston-Salem exploded in to ’00s. Yes, there were other now-staples such as Sweet Potatoes and 6th & Vine, but none had the impact that Fins did….

Getting Jaxxed Up or: Scotch Scotch Scotch

Salutations™!! This week on The Less Desirables, I was without my work-wives Tracy (illness) and Bethany (vacay) and brought in the fantastic Jax who brought five Scotch Whisky brands for us to taste and try. I love Scotch and these were fantastic. Monkey Shoulder, Jura, Dalmore, Glenfiddich, and Balvenie. Mmmm, listen to Jax and me…

Life as We Know It

The Clearing or: Plus is More

Salutations™!! I’m finally starting to really clear up from all my crap the last weeks. There’s definitely a light at the end of the tunnel. I talked a good bit today so I’m a bit hoarse still but that’s getting better, as well. I was able to sing a little today which has definitely been…

Piggybackin’ or: A Comfortable Hug from an Old Friend

Salutations™!! Hiya! I’m pigging today about The Man Who Ate the Town. Timmy VO was on and we had a lot to talk about. In fact, the show went around 45 minutes, which, for this show, is long. But, the conversations were fantastic, at least we thought so. We talked food, restaurants, happenings, and (yum!)…

Double Piggy or: Beer and Food

Salutations™!! This week both The Man Who Ate the Town and The Beer Dads latest podcasts came out today. Usually, The Beer Dads is a Monday thing. But, we recorded this week’s show at Hoots Roller Bar and Beer Company instead of our usual Test Pattern Studios. We did that last night. It was a…
