Open Those Tight Fists

August 31, 2012 By ace 4 Comments

Hello, out there, two-hundred and thirty five people who may happen to view this very brief public announcement.

I have a friend of a friend who is trying to publish a book on Kickstarter.  A book about cocktails.  It looks like it will be pretty damn cool, with rad pictures to boot.  Have you heard of Kickstarter?  It’s that website where people dream up a concept or project and then try to round up funding to actually DO it.

I’m all about the Kickstarter.  It’s such a fantastic way to harness the Internet and dream up something fun and actually find a way to do it!!  If I had a project, like…oh…trying to build a two-story tall princess made out of boogers, I’d hope and pray you would want to back my project.  Except I guess with a tall booger sculpture you wouldn’t get much of a reward out of supporting it.

This project is way better than a snot sculpture, because for donating you get an actual copy of the book when it’s printed.  He even offers to name a drink after you if you pledge fifteen dollars!  Totally WORTH IT.  And by supporting his project,  you make the author so happy and loved and you can feel good about yourself, because helping an unknown author will erase the dog turd you left on your neighbor’s lawn yesterday.

So, just because I’m hoping this dude named Stew Ellington gets his book published and his drinkerly dreams fulfilled, I’m going to post the link right here:

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1633939675/901-very-good-cocktails-a-practical-guide

I think you all should click on that link and check it out, and I’m hoping you all open up your wallets and pledge a few bucks.  Good old Stew only has eight days left to fund this project, so time is of the essence.

I know all of you will want this book because I KNOW YOU – YOU’RE A BUNCH OF DRUNKS.

That’s why I adore you all.

Now go support this boozer’s bible.

Cheers.
