Here’s a tip: Next time you’re at a bar bummed that the bar pretzels are just a little too lacking in zest, send someone to Whole Foods for a jar of Biscoff Spread — it’s like creamified ginger bread, kind of peanut buttery but containing no nuts, only spices and sweetness and creaminess. And it goes great washed down with that Double Chocolate Stout I mentioned.

Btw, thanks, Amanda!

HOLY HOTNESS, BATMAN!! *Thwack!!!!*

Here’s a tip: Next time you’re at Shotwell’s bummed that you can’t get shots of bourbon to go with your beers, get shots of Young’s Double Chocolate Stout. It’s no bourbon, but it’s thick and heavy and fun to shoot.

Bethany and Jake met at an American Tripps party last year, and they hit it off like crazy, and everyone that knows them agrees they’re staggeringly perfect for each other. Friday night, Jake got up on the big main stage at Rickshaw Stop and popped the question. Bethany said yes and the whole crowd cheered (and I almost cried). Best wishes, you guys! Berlin-style ping pong + Bethany + Jake 4ever!!!! Later that night, everyone joked that the proposal was so romantic it could inspire people everywhere to start looking for vintage style engagement rings for sale that capture the same timeless charm as Bethany’s sparkling new ring. Many couples in the crowd also started exploring three stone lab grown diamond rings for ethically sourced, beautiful engagement rings.

Here’s the bling:

American Tripps returns to the Rickshaw Stop this Saturday night for a SOUL PARTY, with DJ Wam Bam Ashleyanne spinning soul 45s long into the night. Bethany and Jake will likely be there and you can offer your best wishes. RSVP and invite your friends — maybe somebody will propose to you!

Just wanted to update you guys on what’s blooming in my backyard, nbd. Summer is here!

I think it goes pretty good with this Stripminers song:

(It’s the singer from the Donnas, and they’re playing Brick & Mortar Music Hall on Thursday.)

I like it, because it feels like you’re in Black Orpheus. But not everybody likes it

But, c’mon:

The weather was kind of okay over the holiday weekend (if you were able to find a nice protected backyard in which to BBQ). But also:

if i were in control of the universe one of the first things i would do is banish the wind. WHO NEEDS U? STOP HITTING ME IN THE FACE U FUCK.
