Permits for Pub Crawls – Thoughts and Predictions
by Evan on Mar.04, 2010, under Baltimore, Politics
In our last episode, we covered the ins and outs of the SBNA meeting last Tuesday during which a committee member broached the idea of requiring permits in order to have a pub crawl in the city of Baltimore. And I’m sure, oh I am sure that there are some of us out there who think this is a fantastic idea; a way to ensure that the organizers are responsible, well to do groups of people who would nor will ever be the harbingers of stabtrocities in our fair city.

Movember Prelude
by Evan on Oct.19, 2009, under Semi-Official
As I eluded to about two weeks ago, November is quickly approaching and the time is nearly here to begin the fund raising bonanza for my charity of choice, Movember. In preparation for this monumental month of man, a group of us have truly stepped it up a notch (at least, from last year) and put together a bar crawl and a website (as well as the usual social media services) to serve as a portal for accepting donations. The website isn’t “active” until later this week, but in the meantime feel free to have a look-see at our Facebook group and Twitter page:
Facebook – Movember Baltimore
Twitter – @movemberbmore
Website – movemberbaltimore.com
Go right ahead and join up, please!
And without further ado, the flier for said bar crawl:
Registration for the bar crawl will begin on Wednesday, and the big campaign for soliciting donations (aka emails to my mom) will begin November 1st. In the meantime, I will be fluffing my moustache in anticipation.

The Boot makes a triumphant return
by Evan on Jun.22, 2009, under Baltimore, Boozetime!

Over the years …and years and years of my long career as an alcohol enthusiast, there are a few traditions and that I have always embraced at a few of my local favorite pour houses. Karaoke, house shots, pole dancing, whatever the case may be; one of my all-time favorites at Captain Larry’s was always the time-tested awesomeness that is The Boot Race.
Two teams, two boots, the first team to pass around and finish their respective boot received the honor of having the next boot bought for them by the losing team. And considering the fact that the boot could be filled with 2 liters of whatever was on draft for a nominal fee, it’s pretty clear as to why this event would be a favorite of mine. Sadly, as with most things made of glass and the drunks that handle them, the boot(s) was lost to calamity and shattered into millions of pieces, never to return. Until, that is, I decided to purchase a new one for Capt. Larry’s 3rd anniversary party this past weekend. |
| So after well over three years, it’s back and it is awesome. The boot was baptized using Lagunitas IPA, which there was no way in hell I was going to polish off alone, so it was passed around to everyone at the bar – but I did finish the job myself, gulping down the last few nearly lukewarm and sort of backwashy beer. Not the greatest finish, but definitely a triumphant return nonetheless. So if you’re in the neighborhood, I would recommend getting some friends together and ordering up a boot of your favorite brew. But if you break it, I swear on my mother I will hunt you down and break your thumbs. That’s a promise. |  |
The Essence of Evan Roundup

Behold as the tragically hilarious guest poster Lee of The Jackal’s Den bestows upon us his thoughts and feelings on this past Saturday’s vodka infusion festival (my own material will be posted when I get my hands on some pictures of it):

Getting Awesome With Awesome Vodka
When you get awesome the way Jackals get awesome you tend to know people who do awesome things. Evan “Strike List” [redacted] does awesome things, namely make awesome vodka infusions.
 |
$20 all you can drink vodka’s and mixers as well as a buffet (the meatballs were the fucking bomb). In the interest of full disclosure I was still feeling the effects of how awesome we got Friday night when we (Heather, Beth and I, DC Representing in BMore two saturdays in a row. respect that!) arrived for the 2:30 pm tasting but I fought through it like Butch fighting through pride fucking with him if he chose to do that instead of fucking over Marcellus in a most Jackal way, but I digress… |
The menu of vodkas went something like this:
- Peanut Butter Vodka
- Lemon and Grape Vodka
- Bacon Vodka
- Coffee and Caramel (it was awesome. like van goghs but not as sweet. if van goghs is a white chocolate mocha this was espresso. damn that was GAF, but i’ll just keep it moving to the KIM)
- Cucumber and Jasmine Vodka
- Pickletini (fuck pickles fuck them in their nasty ears. i even had my pickle hate t shirt on in protest)
- Cherry and Lime Vodka
- Lemon and Ginger Vodka
- Rosemary and Garlic Vodka
I started out as any red blooded MerCan would with the Bacon. Damn did that shit taste like Bacon. I mean really taste like Bacon. Big time. I had it on the rocks for a bit and felt like it really needed some horseradish (note to Evan, make Bacon Horseradish Vodka and sell it to me). Not wanting to be a pain in the ass I settled for adding some Tabasco. It was good when I had one of my awesome ideas. What if I made a screwdriver out of this? I mentioned the idea and was met with 5 or 6 “what the fuck” looks but the bartender was feeling my genius. He topped me of with OJ and The Breakfast of Champions shot was born. It basically tasted like you took a bite of awesome breakfast sandwich and then a sip of your OJ all in one awesome alcoholic beverage.
| Next up was the peanut butter vodka. Damn that shit tasted like peanut butter and was awesome. This was hands down the most popular vodka at the tasting. People were mixing it with Baileys, making awesome white russians with it, we dropped it into Guinness and did car bombs, mixing it with the coffee one. It rocked. I even rocked it out with some 100 poof peppermint schnapps and made a Girl Scout Leader. |  |
Moving right along I tore into the Lemon and Ginger and mixed that bad boy with Blue Moon to make a Fancy Poison. If you’ve had Poison it was exactly the same but with good vodka and better beer.
We also tried the Lemon and Grape with an IPA but it wasn’t as good as fancy Poison, way too bitter.
The champion of the stand alone vodkas however was the Rosemary and Garlic. That shit was good. Really fucking good. The other vodkas had stronger flavors but this one was just smooth as all get out and made me want lamb something fierce. Now that I think about it I was a good 6 or 7 vodkas deep when I tasted it so perhaps I should try it again when sober but I am 99% sure, ok make that 79% sure it still would be my favorite. As for the mixed drink that goes with this awesome vodka, Lambtini = ground lamb and Rosemary and Garlic vodka.
So all in all the vodkas were quite awesome and the event was quite fun. As an added bonus I got nice and drunk before 5pm which is always fun. The only negative thing I have to say about the entire thing is that The Wiz and Steven didn’t show up with basically makes them GAF.
