Home Sweet Home

Hi Peeps!
Sorry I'm late! *Sigh* Noo..this is not my new house. I wish it was. After several days of house hunting I'm starting to get a bit weary of the whole deal. The S/O and I are starting to see double. Every house starts looking the same after a while. Today was one of those days. And the realtors are pushing the "buy now, prices are going up/the market is heating up!" spiel. You would not believe the amount of houses out there that are for sale. Decisions, decisions...
Anyway, I've found a few freebies and to-dos for yous. (LOL). Enjoy!

Stop Being Famous
Chi-based SBF aims to offer scenester news & critiques without the pretense; they cover art, fashion, and "random sh*t", but their ethos is best exemplified by their food-based band rating system, wherein SlimFast = total crap!, Doritos = could be better, Ramen = good, and pizza = extraordinary! (Doritos could be better? Clearly this is pre- Cooler Ranch).

The stage is perpetually set-up with drums and in-tune guitars to encourage spontaneous celeb jamming of the sort recently pulled at Red Rock by Slash and Perry Ferrel (who sadly makes a greater pet than celebrity jammer).

Service Is Key (Philly)
While recovering from a night wasted at a new Mexican joint, we thought, Wouldn’t it be nice if someone could clean the living room, sign for packages, and restock the ginger ale?
Hmm, we should hire Keystone Concierge.
They do basics like housekeeping and personal assistant tasks (organizing, dog walking, grocery shopping), but where they really excel are the extras.
You’re working but have a furniture shipment coming? They’ll wait at your house — and tidy up while there. Just moved and need a cheesesteak? They’ll ship one to you in Dallas. They could even help you replace your old door dude (the one who used to sell weed) with a service-oriented front desker.
The best part? Employees are rigorously screened, drug tested, and background checked, so there won’t be any Belgravia-style hijinks.
Or indigestion.

Say Hello To A Fat Man (Miami)
If you’re craving a hot piece of meat, you should hit up a strip club in North Miami.
That’s where Fat Man’s Bar-B-Que is (parked outside the feisty Take One Cocktail Lounge).
From inside his traveling trailer, Benjamin Nelson cooks up burgers, chicken, fried conch, and grilled fish like tilapia and grouper. But the pièce de résistance is his award-winning ribs.
Using a professional smoker filled with hickory wood (rigged to the truck’s rear), he smokes and seasons the ribs to melt-in-your-mouth readiness, then smothers them in gooey homemade BBQ sauce.
The elusive Fat Man works on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, from 7:30 p.m. to 5 a.m. But if you don’t want to venture past your local Publix, he’ll drive his flashy ride to your party.
Like a high-class call girl.
Fat Man’s Bar-B-Que, outside Take One Cocktail Lounge,
333 Northeast 79th Street,
North Miami (954-536-0465).

Block Rockin' Beats
It's easy to listen to today's hottest tracks and think, "It's gotta be a cinch to produce these beats, considering Timbaland must spend at least 23 hours every day doing curls". Well, now it really is a snap, thanks to JamGlue.
Providing "remixing for the masses", Jam's a free engine that lets you easily and intuitively craft your own beats, or hack up existing songs (because you're obviously far more visionary than any professional musician). The simplest path to nailing down functionality: listen to a 3-minute audio tutorial, which'll lead you through adding tracks and finding/uploading effects from your own files or Jam's extensive library (loaded with drums, bombs, lasers, movie sound bites, and farts, a.k.a. the dulcet tones of the Fat Boys), plus duplicating, lengthening, and splitting clips. Once you've got the basics, get all pro by adding as many layers to your mix as you please, fading stuff to the left or right channel, and speeding up/slowing down and altering volumes on each track, before publishing your masterpiece for all to enjoy how crappy it is.
If you're feeling sassy about your skills, enter all sorts of prize-dishing remix contests, where you'll put your work head-to-head against other Gluers tweaking songs from artists like J.R. Writer, T-Pain, Public Enemy, and the slightly out-of-place Jars of Clay -- who amazingly still produce music despite spending 23 hours a day just loving the heck out of God.
