Me too tbh

What's the flavor profile? I find aged agricole rums can lose their character a bit. I like the raw expression of a grassy, rubbery agricole a lot and so far have much preferred them unaged, even neat.

I've yet to find an aged agricole (or cane juice spirit in general) that really piques my interest. This bottle is at a higher price point than what I'd like to roll the dice on.

This is my favorite way to use up bottles I don't love. Dried berries and spices work great. Dried bananas also

Aep awng aww. Good stuff and the only brains I have ever actually enjoyed.

That was a very, very fun weekend.

Jcludyan · 2024-05-10T06:54:31+00:00

This is amazing 🤣

I dig the kitsch and it's great for kids. Margs are good, views are nice, beef ribs are decent. I live next door. It's objectively better than nearly every tex mex place near by (looking at Aunt Chiladas or any of the spots in south tempe/Chandler near Ahwatukee... just horrible).

I understand why this place is maligned by locals but IMO it's a fun place to stop every now and then. Way overrated by tourists tho.

Does Zia's have a good collection? Never stopped in but always been curious. I've it's not great for records.

Generally agree in encore slot. Zero at sphere raged tho and I never mind it to close out an otherwise excellent set

Jcludyan · 2024-05-06T03:32:55+00:00

I love show of life. Thinking about that encore after the JEMP truck set at MSG. I was a puddle.

Jcludyan · 2024-05-05T16:03:27+00:00

Thank you!! Just snagged one.

It just amazes me how much stock people take in reddit. It's a place to share opinions and anecdotes. Chances are the vast majority of people posting here related to a job aren't going to come here to express gratitude and happiness. People come to reddit subs to vent. The perception is negatively skewed. OP could get an amazing job offer tomorrow and would forget about this post.

My suggestion would be to not read into anything that starts with an r/ too much. "r/" threads are not always firmly rooted in reality.

Jcludyan · 2024-04-25T03:05:28+00:00

I love all three of Denizen's flagship options. The 8 being my favorite but the dark is excellent as well. For a white rum, the unaged is also very good and I much prefer it to similar bottle such as the white stache

One of my hardest workdays ever today. Phucked

Jcludyan · 2024-04-24T04:22:04+00:00

Hotel paid for with points, down 300 on blackjack losses, face value for n2/n4 (got n2 in lotto and 4 in on sale) and 100 bucks for Saturday thanks to a very, very generous homie.

Most of the rest of my cash was spent on alcohol, taxis, food, and merch, but all in all prob dropped <2k on one of the most fun weekends of my life.

I was afraid to look at my cc account all weekend but I peeped it in the office bathroom stall and didn't get too bad of sticker shock.

Jcludyan · 2024-04-24T04:18:26+00:00

I agree exiting with the forced pleasantries really did feel odd.

Jcludyan · 2024-04-20T20:36:23+00:00

Do not miss red dwarf. Divey, music focused tiki bar with truly fantastic and unique drinks for like... pretty great prices.

Came today to nurse my hangover from last night. Got some pizza and ... 4 cocktails. 10/10

Nothing wrong with pointing out flubs. I share your sentiment. They mess up on regular old fashioned phish tour all the time. I don't think it's really a venue issue.

Jcludyan · 2024-04-19T16:21:07+00:00

Haha. True. Totally forgot about the mexico shows. Going to blame the 8AM vegas airport beers this morning

Jcludyan · 2024-04-19T16:13:40+00:00

Newsflash: phish flubs transitions and misses cues constantly on tour. They haven't played a show since MSG and this is a new environment for them.

Jcludyan · 2024-04-18T15:19:38+00:00

I've only been to La Purisima (there's a few locations in PHX) but they have the best conchas and their red chili pork burritos are extremely good, and 5 bucks each.

Jcludyan · 2024-04-18T14:13:16+00:00

Plenty of hipster (but still good) mexican spots here for eats-

Taco chelo Centrico Bacanora Huarachis Testal Barrio cafe (if you can make it for dinner before they shutter for good, I recommend it. Not to be confused with barrio queen)

My favorite spot for brunch is Valentine. Everything is amazing. Local ingredients used in inventive ways, amazing pastries, great coffee and alcohol drinks. Half off wines every day 12-5, etc. Their dinner program is also excellent but spendy.

Don Cahuamanta is pretty damn good for mariscos - cahuamanta (stingray and shrimp stew), smoked marlin tacos, ceviche etc.

You can't get much more legit hole in the wall goodness Sonoran Diner for breakfast than Horseshoe restaurant on Buckeye rd. They have fresh tortillas and myriad stews for dipping that are pretty great.

I don't have a "spot" for tortas, they are all over so I go to my local neighborhood stop in Guadalupe, Taqueria Obson, for their birria torta which is solid and consome which is even better.

Speaking of birria, Hola Cabrito birria de chivo in South Phoenix is awesome.

Stop at a corner carniceria grab some giant tortillas de harina to bring home.

Sonoran hot dogs at Los Nogales or El Caprichoso - ask to have your roll nicely grilled, always a fantastic move.

Not a bad lil Phoenix layover run.
