Hold On

Here’s a track to get you hype for the weekend. Smooth enough to put on in the afternoon as you watch the second hand tick ever so slowly, but it also has enough disco kick that you can carry it over into your early and/or late night partying. Be [...]

Just In Time for the Holidays…Hot Dr. Pepper!

I came across this at Retro Thing. It’s hard to believe Dr. Pepper actually promoted this. The ad is from the 60s and I’m guessing it never caught on cause who wants a hot cup of sugared soda?! Anyone ever tried it?

New Year’s Eve LOFT PARTY w/ special guest Valeze

Drinking with friends, thinking we are here for a cover band, this cracker was blown off [...]

* 8-chamber patented design that accommodates up to 8 people
* Hose-barbed adapters for quick setup and breakdown to clean
* Made [...]

As CU’s medical advisor, I’m [...]
