best chocolate ive had

wednesday after work i headed to the back bay to do a focus group. i had some extra time on my hands so i walked around and poked into a few stores, i got a couple new hats at h&m. im really dislike hats, but i dislike alopecia more.
well i finally got to go to hotel chocolat!
http://www.hotelchocolat.com/
ive walked by it at night and ive always been curious!




I walked in and i was taken back how bright and clean it was. the people that worked there were so nice and offered samples. i could only have the plain milk chocolate because of my allergies, but it was really good. after walking around i decided on the caramel cheesecake chocolates, the girl checking me out told me it was one of her favorites.


for 6 BIG pieces it was only 7.50! for someone that buys chocolate all the time (probably too much :P ) it was an awesome price!
well at this point i was so giddy i shuffled quickly back to my car so i could try a piece of it. i bit into it and i was just taken back by how runny and sweet the caramel was and how perfectly tart the cheesecake part was. PERFECT!

i could eat them everyday all day!

Hot dog safari

Saturday morning me and Garvey went to the hot dog safari at Suffolk downs.
Here are a few pictures I took, I was too busy eating to remember to take a lot!














Here's a list of what I ate:
2 1/2 hot dogs
3 chicken pot pie samples
1 clam chowder (mainly for those little oyster crackers)
1 meatball sub
1 pulled beef sample
2 ice creams
3 sea salt chocolates
1 cotton candy
Some penny candy
Some lemonade samples

After that we decided we should probably bowl or do something that would burn some calories.
First we went to buffalo exchange so I could try to sell some clothes and be judged. It went okay and I got rid of 15 or so things.
Next we got garveys shoes and decided to bowl. Dave and Caitlin joined us! Me and Garvey bowled well and caitlin and Dave bowled good too!!! It was a lot of fun! Then we went to the beer works for late night snacks and dinner.




Shepards pie pizza... Never again.


I will leave you with this catfish playing a banjo

old tshirts into yarn

this weekend i was hanging out with caitlin and she was telling me how she is going to make old tshirts into cotton yarn. i was instantly curious, because i have so many tshirts that i wont really be able to sell. i did some searching on google for instruction and found a couple of blogs/websites to let me know what to do.

TSHIRT FEATURE v.20

im super excited for this feature! i get extra happy when my friends do features and stan is awesome. hes doing a feature on a hat, so this post has a twist.



Tell me about the shirt!
I will do you one better and tell you about a hat, not just any hat but a Fire & Ice hat. I was told it is made after a Prong hat that Boots has. It is pretty sweet. I'm not sure how many they made but boy am I glad I got my hands on one.

Why is it important to you?
A lot of bands make mesh hats and fitted hats but Fire & Ice took a step in a different direction with this bad boy. It fits great, has a cool logo and looks cool as hell. I like supporting my friends and supporting great core bands, this hat allows me to do both.

Where did you get it?
Fire & Ice made these for United Blood fest 2010. I was walking to get pizza and saw Dave Boots with the box, dropped $15 and walked away with a smile. I think they sold out kind of fast and not fetch a pretty penny on ebay. They made a blue one with a different print that I have been trying to score for a while now.

Any story you want to share about it?
Note the fact that there is no mesh and you get the nice string across the brim. My hope is that in 20 years kids speak of this hat the way that my fellow coreman David Jaycox and myself speak of the legendary Warzone hat.
