i love whiskey

This article caught my eye because it's about....WHISKEY.

The top 101 whiskeys to try before we die. How could I not take a peak?

Whiskey expert Ian Buxton wrote this book "101 Whiskies to Try before you die"

what a job title!

While some brands are accessible like the Macallan 10 and Makers Mark, more exclusive labels make the cut when Buxton feels they're worth the money, which includes Johnny Walker's Blue Label George V Edition and the surprisingly delicate Highland Park 40. All of this variety turns the book into a whisky-fueled journey through tasting these 101 whiskies into both a inspiring travel guide and an education in scotch, whisky, whiskey, bourbon, rye and new make spirit (whisky before it's been aged).

It's available in December on Amazon.

NCS Colour Scan!

The Scandinavian Colour Institute's new device identifies color from any surface!!

This new gadget, the NCS Colour Scan 2.0, uses the same scanning techonology as the Pantone's Capsure, to choose color from any surface and retrieve the closest color notation in seconds!!

There is zoom, color screen, a voice recorder, tagging capability, and more.

The scanner sells online for 600 euro.

Airwaves

Iceland's biggest music festival!!!!

With NY CMJ taking place right now, it seems fitting to mention Iceland's version. The crazy shows, crowds, after-parties, and of course--the people. The outfits, the trends, and all the magical glory in between.
Like this hot bitch above.

Craig Thomas is a photographer that captured some of the best. Gallery.

ArtCrank

MY favorite has posted on Artcrank which is where artists align for a community poster festival celebrating bicycles!!!

Living in Brooklyn has made it so that I catch anything concerning bikes. Starting in Minneapolis three years ago, the Artcrank show was a quick, fun way to publicize local artists by inviting them to create posters about bike culture. Since then, the concept has spread all the way to Portland, SF, Des Moines, and even London.

This year it took place a couple days ago in Portland---serving free beer....

Can't wait for this fest to hit NY.

Talk about cult cyclists comin' out they cages.

Marker

Tom Sachs x Krink: Graffit's favorite marker reworked by one of art's favorite conceptual sculptors.

Tom Sachs does a lot of tagging and signing as part of his work, and is very particular about the pens he uses. He even as a personalized Sharpie! (For sale on his site.)

He has switched to Krink. Because he loved them so much, they collaborated!

The new collection includes a k-12 permanent paint marker (white out), black k-70 permanent ink marker, red k-77 red paint marker.

Limited edition of 100, sells online for $550.
