Thanksdrinking
This is a drink I invented several years ago and despite its simplicity, deliciousness, and alcohol content, it still has yet to sweep the masses. It’s called “Thanksgiving”, it involves 2 parts E & J Brandy, (maybe 3 for the in-laws) and 1 part carbonated Martinelli’s sparkling apple cider. Some of you might be skeptical, but it really is delicious. Pour over ice if desired, get drunk. Happy hollidaze
Getting awesome!

Bryan Tarbell Photo Show
Last week, Ithaca’s Home Grown Skateshop played host to a photo show put together by Least Most contributor Bryan Tarbell and his pal Jake Quain.
Family and friends from all over NY came though to hang out, check out the great photos and sample various boxed wines. Bryan raffled off one of his prints and in the process raised a couple hundred bucks that will be going to the Mike Tag Fund. Definitely a great night with a great cause in mind.
Check out some snaps from the night, courtesy of Korey Kryder:

Immortal Technique
Immortal Technique makes rap music the only way he knows how: brutal, honest, intelligent, and always eye-opening. If any musician is being targeted for assassination by the CIA, it his him. Political at times, but always the humanitarian, his new free album is no different. The first day it was out over 200,000 people downloaded it, and crashed his label’s website. Born in Peru, raised in Harlem, revered worldwide, Technique is respected in the rap community not just for his skills, but for his honesty and realness. Recently working with a humanitarian group he donated his own money and helped raise over $60,000 to build an orphanage in Afghanistan, which he recently went and visited.

Now he is the topic of a documentary chronicling his touring, his humanitarian work and his outlook on music and social issues. Check the trailer http://youtu.be/LiSE-H-p3oQ
It’s Better in the Wind
We posted up the trailer a while back, and now the full-length film from Scott Toepfer, It’s Better in the Wind is online. Grab a beverage and give it a watch.
The Long and Short of It
This year our friend Brandon Eckles, king of Caliwumpus, asked us to contribute to the DVD he was making. He visited and we went on some trips and the amassed footage made for a DVD section that we in Santa Cruz are proud of. I scraped together the leftovers (and a few clips that made it into the DVD) and baked this cake. Probably months of footage, with spots spanning thousands of miles. Features a lot (but not all) of the Sasquatch Canyon family. You can see more by ordering the Caliwumpus DVD.
On the other extreme, our sister site, Country Clubbin’ compiled this edit in less than 24 Halloween hours, with spots spanning just a few miles.

Rails to Trails?
Spotted this masterpiece on Poler via Brian Vernor’s blog. The obvious “what if?” has apparently been accounted for. Awesome.
