A million bucks will buy you a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. Absolut Vodka has already gotten in on the action, and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is hungry (or thirsty) for more companies to step up to the plate. Continue Reading »

Our friends at STK are very excited about their holiday cocktails, and in the spirit of the holidays we figured WHY NOT SPREAD A LITTLE HOLIDAY CHEER.

As for us Mutineers, Energyologist Jeff’s idea of a holiday cocktail is eating candy canes and washing it down with Red Bull and tequila, Beer Editor Brian has a constant supply of holiday seasonal beers finding their way onto the counter, our marketing guru JJ is drinking Amarula Cream cause he can’t seem to get enough of the stuff, and I’m drinking whatever people put in front of me! Happy holidays fellow Mutineers!
If you’ve been following the Mutineer blog for some time, you’ll know how much I despise drunk driving. The good news is that “Y Drive LA” might just be the perfect solution to the drunk driving problems that plague LA. The idea is pretty crazy, but it works: you get wasted at your office holiday party, you call “Y Drive LA”, and a person shows up to drive you home in your car. BRILLIANT! But wait, what happens when you are dropped off at your house in your car? How does the chauffeur get home? Well, your driver has cleverly stowed a motor scooter in your trunk and will scoot off to his next job.
Sounds expensive, right? Nope. Prices for central areas range from $38 to $45, which may be a bit more than a taxi, but you have to consider that now you don’t have to go retrieve your car in the morning, which is a hell of a trade off.
I love this idea and applaud the fine people at Y Drive LA for addressing the drunk driving problem in LA in such a positive and practical way.
Next weekend starts the Leblon sponsored campaign to legalize cachaça. This Brazilian spirit is currently imported as “Brazilian Rum” and according to the Cachaça Declaration of Independence that is hopefully soon to be changed, “We formally and necessarily declare that cachaça is independent of, and therefore not, ‘Brazilian Rum’“.
