though it's merely for.a church directory, this is the first formal, well-considered portrait I've ever shot and edited exclusively on my iPhone. Cool.

The Lolliloo Sling Thing #cocktail

Original summer cocktail named for its recipient — and barkeep's bestest buddy. its a "sling," in spirit — bittered & sweetened, and served tall — but may technically not qualify. It does qualify, however, as absolutely refreshing — just like its namesake.

THE LOLLILOO SLING THING

1 1/2 oz. Aperol (or Campari)
2 oz. fresh lime juice
1/2 oz. ginger syrup (homemade)

Shake vigorously with ice, then pour into iced highball glass and top with fresh club soda, and a splash of orange juice (optional). Garnish passionately.

Always in Ssyle


I have mixed feelings about the announced unmasking of Ssyle Wyndz at today's March Madness Marching Band practice. (If you don't know Ssyle has been our Zentai member for sometime, and in that time, the vast majority of us have not known his "true identity." Today we find out.)

I've been thinking about secret identities in the comics of my youth. Rarely, if ever, did a hero keep one just for kicks. It was always for necessity and it pretty much always seemed to cause problems and pain in their lives.

So — I want to take a minute to THANK Ssyle for providing the band with unique mystery and delight. You are most welcome in MMMB in any persona you choose — and thanks for being our superhero these many months.
