This is an email I wrote to my wife when we were engaged to be married. She was in Canada. I was in California establishing residency—a necessary part of the immigration process.
I post it here because I never want to forget it.

I love putting great, exciting cocktails in my friends’ hands.
I’ve geeked out about cocktails a bit, trying the fancy fancy stuff, making my own simple syrup, buying essential oils, holding lots of things above my head and shaking them vigorously…
But these drinks take some work, and when you’re hosting a party you don’t want to be making cocktails for people all night — you also want to enjoy the party, dance, hang, relax, catch up, etc.
Yet, you want your fellow partiers to be a little excited about their drinks. how can you put great cocktails in your friends’ hands and enjoy your own party? read more →
I’ve written before about the perfect list of party booze. Now I want to share some quick tips about hosting your lil’ party. These are all lessons I’ve learned — hope they give you some ideas about how to make your next party a little easier to host.
NB: I’m not talking about your college house party — I’m talking about your “i’m a little older now but I still want to have fun and a I don’t want to be all crazy hungover in the morning but I do want to feel like my life is not boring — i’m not boring, right?” party. read more →
A buddy of mine is throwing a party and he emailed me about what kind of booze he should get and how much. It was surprising to me how many ideas come flowing from inside me, like some deep spiritual well of wisdom.
I come from a good family, who knows how to throw a party (i.e., if mom’s not on the table one-leg-fluting it to Jethro Tull, the party hasn’t started yet). I’m grateful for the blood-deep education I have on giving people a good time at a party. And in the spirit of “all good truths are free” I thought I’d share some of this deep wisdom. Please comment with any ideas of your own! read more →
Who the f*ck is this guy? Legend, that’s who.
