A Visit to Lazy Acres North and The Lou

Travelled to the Lazy Acres North HQ yesterday located in the suburbs of St. Louis, Missouri, or The Lou as it's referred to 'round here.


Today was a visit to the Anheuser-Busch Brewery, and thanks to a classmate of Ol' Lazy Acres got a behind-the-scenes tour of the research brewery where they come up with new beers. Also got to taste a couple samples of test batches that have not been released to the public. One was an amber-colored beauty and the other was golden euro-style ale, both were excellent.


After the private tour, we went on the regular public tour and got to see the Clydesdales.



The dalmatian was sleeping while we were there.





After lunch, we tried to make it over to the arch, but a bad batch of storms kept us away.


Drove by Busch Stadium and saw that the stage was all ready to go for tomorrow night's Dave Matthews Band and The Black Crowes concert. Can't Wait!

Opened up the new Woodside Lounge yesterday.

The new Woodside Lounge has its own TV, even though it's around the corner from the theater room. It just goes without saying, all lounges must have a TV for sporting events. I believe it's in the building code. Music is served up from the stereo system currently residing in the dining room, but I'm thinking of moving it to the Lounge. Today I went streakin'! Remember, use that sunblock out there. - Salud!

Summer Mix 2007

I probably should give this over the weekend to think about it, because there are three songs not included in this year's Summer Mix that I've been flip-flopping over. The mix just seems very tight and I can't fit the songs in without repeating the "essence," "groove" or beat of another song. I think the mixes for me work best when they flow and take you from one place to another musically without beating you over the head with the same style. Another thing I like to do with the Summer Mix is incorporate the old alongside the new. I hate to put two old songs back to back, or should I say two songs from the same era back to back. Now as you look at my mix you'll see some old songs next to other old songs. I guess it's not a hard and fast rule for me, but I try to at least jump a decade between two old songs. Like last year I kept the sound effects to a minimum, using a mix I created of beach sounds for the opening and a crickets sound effect for ...
