lots of beers

Pubcon Beer Expedition

by mrbunltd (Rodney)

Beers in Vegas are not such a big deal. (all alcohol seems a bit weak in variety there in fact).

Last time out, the fanciest beer we could find at the large clubs, Stella Artois. Not such a big thrill. You would think in a town like this that they would have the selection to end all selections, everywhere you go. Not the case. Weak, weak, weak.

Well talking this over with a friend who went to school in Vegas, he told me where to go. The Freakin Frog. With over 500 different types in bottles in 2 walk-in coolers, it sounds like the place for me.  You Canadians who don’t like the “yank” beers, they have you covered. You Brits who don’t like the “yank” beers, they have you covered too. In fact anyone who doesn’t like our “yank” beers, let’s go.

So one night while in Vegas for Pubcon (November 8-11) next week I will be heading over to the Freakin Frog and I invite anyone who would like to join me to come along.

When: Tuesday, November 9th – 9:00-ish. The plan is to meet and grab cabs.

Summer Headache

by bunltd (Lisa)

Well, that didn’t take long. The summer headache arrived on Day One of “School is Out”.  Working from home has it’s challenges and this is definitely one of them. This year it arrived in all it’s glorious chaos on a Saturday – thank goodness for that at least.

It’s funny how the kids seem to think that summer equals no rules or anything goes. Sitcoms and cartoons, much? We’re mere hours into summer and I’ve already been put in the position of being the “mean mom” because my son invited friends swimming without asking. Yeah, well, it’s my house, and a pool in the backyard doesn’t mean you can just show up whenever without asking. (and it doesn’t really matter how hot it is or how bored you are – seriously school’s been out for less than 24 hours…)

I’m really not a mean mom – it’s just that my husband and I take the pool thing seriously and don’t let kids swim without supervision and that means a grown-up. Add the work from home dynamic and it’s a recipe for summer headaches. Our business doesn’t take summer vacation and while our schedule can be flexible – it’s not summertime abandon everything and swim all day flexible.

I guess this is what the parenting gurus call a teaching moment. (LOL)

This is something I’ve come across a time or two (or three) in my time in this business. And every time I encounter it – it makes me want to scream. I filed this under SEO because, guess what? You can’t SEO without content – it’s all related… Before I tell you the topic of [...]
