TABU: Forbidden Fruit
Here is the second review of an alcoholic beverage ever done on Spine.cx. I'm not doing Baja Tango, like I said I would, basically because I didn't feel like drinking that stuff right now. I was buying some beer (Keith's has the 15-packs back for the summer)...
Bacardi Ciclon
Here at Spine.cx, we feel that it is important to provide the viewing public with not only reviews of frivolous things like CDs, movies, and pop bottles on the street, but also important things like alcohol. It is with that sentiment that I give to you the fi...
Camping trip 2003 redux
Just letting everyone know that the group campsite at Blomidon has been booked for the weekend of August 1st through the 4th for around 20 people. So if you care, you should make sure you can get that Friday (August 1st) off. If you don't know what I'm talk...
Virtual Beer Bash?
What do you all think about attempting a virtual beer bash? Webcams, headphones, Yahoo Messenger and the OH- of your choice? Meet online at a given time, etc. Hey! No cab costs. No line-ups. No bad weather. Cheap booze. I'm such a loser. Originally pos...
New Year's Eve Party at Jon & Sharleen's
I'm not sure too many people noticed the small mention down in the Events section, so I thought I'd give it a little more prominence. Please indicate on the event if you're planning to attend. It would be nice for them to keep track of the number of people...
So, I got drunk on Friday night...
I was at Pitchman's, which I have become convinced is the new JJ's. It's weird because I used to frequency Pitchman's when they were non-smoking and the only people that went there were other people in their mid-twenties trying to escape the nauseating haze o...
Want to avoid handing out candy?
Don't feel like lining the pockets of annoying little children with sugar? Want to get out of the house? If you've answered yes to either of these questions, then feel free to join us at the Oasis on All Hallows Eve, sometime after 6:00. Much merriment will...
It's about time for a pub crawl...
September means "Back to School" for many, and along with that comes a return to a lifestyle of hours at the library studying, bad meals in residence cafeterias, and of course, drinking heavily. I can't help with the first two, but I have the third one covere...
We need to oust NSCAD, and here's why...
Why do we need to oust NSCAD? Well, I suppose they don't really need to be *ousted*. Just moved. The evil corporation of NSCAD is taking over more and more precious downtown real estate that could be occupied by more bars and this is a very dangerous thing....
My adventures as a marketing research guinea pig
A while ago, I had responded to an ad in the Coast calling for people who would be willing to spend an hour watching beer commercials and giving their opinions to a marketing focus group. Sounded like an easy way to make $30 to me. I watched three ads in tot...
Halifax FARK party is a go!
Yep, it's official. Halifax shall have it's 15 minutes of fame, and it shall be called the Halifax FARK Party. The date is set for Friday, July 12th. We're planning to go to the Halifax Alehouse (lots o' beer, just like the name suggests), and then follow t...
Steve turns 26
I seem to be posting a lot of stories in the "Beer" topic lately....hmmmm. Anyway, I'm turning 26 on June 1st and I'm putting on a little shindig at my place. Feel free to stop by anytime after 7:00 or so. Earlier if you want to barbeque. Honestly, I don't...
Mozilla 1.0.0 release party!
I think everyone can tell by now that I don't need much of an excuse to go out and have a good time. Let's all go out and celebrate the release of Internet Explorer's biggest competition, the open source browser that's like, a zillion times better than Netsca...
Brewery Tour followup
Ok, drinkin' buddies, we shall meet at the Alexander Keith's Brewery on Water Street on Saturday the 25th of May at some time before 8:30. We'll either be on the 8:30 tour or the 9:00 tour. I could have booked a tour, but the guy wanted me to pay for all you...
Drinking Games
Everybody's played a drinking game or two in the past, I'm sure. Below is one submitted by one of the loyal readers that spine.cx has and that you wish you were. Post your favourite drinking game. Discuss the merits and drawbacks of each. Butterfly write...
Alexander Keith's brewery tour
So about a month or so ago, Ryan and I each happened to purchase a 2-4 of Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale because there was this deal where you got a free beer stein...a nice one too. In the bottom of this stein was a 2-for-1 coupon for a Keith's brewery tou...
It's St. Patrick's Day!
Get out your shamrocks and your leprechans, and wear something green. This Sunday is the day when everyone is Irish. It's time to drink green beer and insult the British. Then we drink more green beer, maybe some good Irish whiskey, and stumble all the way ...
Dial M for Penny
Jesus Murphy. Some guy was shot several times and killed outside the Copper Penny last night...only about two hours after I left. Yikes. Although I heard on the Q104 this morning that the "alleged" shooter was arrested at the scene. On a side note, I wen...
Prime Minister Day?
Would you like a long weekend (another Stat holiday) in February? Go here and vote YES! The government is considering a new holiday. The Globe and Mail is doing a poll to see if we as Canadians would like one. It would be the same as the American holiday ...
My New Year's Party
Here's the ultimate test of how accurate a guesser I am of the size (or lack thereof) of this website's local readership: Everyone who reads this in time is welcome to come to my place to bring in 2002 like it ain't nobody's business. If you don't know whe...
