When Tom Robbins, the longtime Village Voice metro columnist, quit the paper, we all gathered in the newsroom, which was a pretty empty place by then. I still have the champagne cork from that day, so I know someone brought champagne—I can remember the paper cups we were all drinking it out of,…

thugkitchen:

Five simple fucking ingredients in this bitch right here. This is some good shit to make when you are feeling bougie as fuck. High-fructose corn syrup? Naw son, I don’t play that. Hit this with some vodka though, different story. Max relax.

LAVENDER LEMONADE

5 cups of water

1/2 -3/4 cup sugar (yeah, it is fucking lemonade. without the sugar it is just real sour fucking water)

3/4 cup Meyer lemon juice, about 6 lemons (you can just use the regular lemons at the store too, not a dealbreaker)

juice of half a lime

4 sprigs of fresh lavender

Bring the water to a boil in a medium pot. Add the sugar and simmer that shit on a low heat for about 5 minutes. Make sure to stir it on the regular. The sugar should be all dissolved in the water by now with no little fucking grains rolling around in there. Turn off the heat and stir in the lemon juice, lime juice, and lavender. Let it cool until it is around room temperature. Take the lavender pieces out but use a fucking spoon and not your fingers if you are going to serve that shit to other people. Put the lemonade in the fridge to cool down all the way. Serve with lemon wedges and a pinch of dried lavender if you want it to look fucking impressive.

makes about 1 quart of chill the fuck out

The story of the bombing of Laos by the United States during the Vietnam war and the consequences of the 80 million bombs still remaining in the country today. Part narrative and part info-graphic, the film tells the story of what happened, what life is like today and possibilities for the future.

Cleveland has an incredible gem in Ray’s Indoor Mountain Bike Park. It’s exactly what it sounds like, and indoor Mountain Biking park that was built by Ray, the staff and their indoor pro riding buddies. It’s for Mountain and BMX bikes, but no worries, if you don’t have either you can easily rent some Trek bikes (they have new 2013 ones in to demo too!). As you can see from the photo above, it has a great “picnic” area with gas fireplaces and TV’s for the parents to hang out while the kids enjoy the park. They have everything from the beginner’s Novice area (that would be where you would find me!) to the Expert area (that would NOT be where you would find me!). They also often have special events including visits by Pro’s. This weekend (Feb 15-17) is Women’s Weekend which is hosted by Pro Leigh Donovan (1995 World Mountain Bike Champion, 2001 World Cup Mountain Bike Champion, 9X U.S. National Mountain Bike Champion). Free entry and clinics Today (Friday) from 9am-4pm and half price for women Saturday & Sunday (16-17th).
