    The guy I went to Manhattan with yesterday gifted me one of those $40 bottles.
    (Was a thank you for the hockey seats I gave him a few times last year when we could not go)

    He told me I need to try Tower vodka.  Total Wine had a special - $20 for a handle and he likes it more than Tito's.
    I view that as sort of the difference to go Analog.  I'm analog, dammit -- give me my $40 Ketel!

    I dropped $40 on a burger and a couple three beers the other day with some buddies.  


    I bought a few two beers the other day myself.

    Yes to both!  I was at the brewery not long ago and found out I just missed Brian Fallon :bawling:   So many great spots in and around Cookman Ave.... Especially love that downtown  area during the holidays.

    $40 for a hash-filled, kief-dipped, glass-tipped J.

    Worthwhile, I say!

    She wanted the one that said Freak on a Leash down the arm, but I saved the $28 and bought her the other version.  She was just happy to have it.  It's the same sweatshirt other than the arm junk.

    I saw Korn for the first time back in ‘95 at maxwell s , Hoboken.  Sugar ray opened (think mean machine, not fly).   I got my ass handed to me that night lol. Saw them again a few times at the stone pony in Asbury Park, nj.  Such a great live band.

    They really are.  My daughter and I have seen them 3x and my husband has seen them 4.  One of her absolute favorite bands.

    Could have saved another $15 with a plain black sweatshirt.

    True, but...

    We went to the concert and the only credit card I had was our Discover. They took every card but that. (Haven't had that issue in probably 15 years.) We promised her that we would make good on it. Turns out that the sweatshirt we got from Hot Topic is much nicer than the tour merch.
