Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

Have they changed the formula for Sierra Nevada Pale Ale without telling anyone? A week ago, I'm at the Liberties in San Francisco, and I ordered a Sierra, my favorite favorite favorite beer of all beers. The waitress brings me a pint and I returned it saying :" umm, you should check the keg, 'cause this isn't Sierra". I didn't sound as much like an asshole to her as I did just there.

Aaaaanyway, I got a bottle of Sierra this afternoon, (I'm in Colorado now) and lo: it's got the same not-quite-sierra-more-like-Fat-Tire lemony weirdness to it.

I like to think I'm pretty attuned to what I like about Sierra. Has anyone else noticed this? Has it happened before?
WTF?

Where is the film Ross Kemp made on STDs?

Ross Kemp on...... condoms and STDs? I remember seeing this video a while ago, and then promptly forgetting it. Ross Kemp, in a very early acting job, made a film for the British armed forces about preventing sexually transmitted diseases.

Today I found out that someone I know was in it, playing an Amsterdam hooker. :-) Now of course, that I want to see the film again, I can't find it! Google and youtube have failed me. Does anyone know where it is?

Help me make a They Might Be Giants mixtape.

Help me make a They Might Be Giants mixtape. Dear Hive,

We all love Flood, Lincoln, and Apollo 18. I've found newer albums a mixed bag. I liked some songs on John Henry, but by Factory Showroom, I gave up.

Now the boy and I love Here Come the ABC's.

Looking at reviews, it seems that there are some great, catchy, quirky songs on newer albums. Please recommend songs for a post-Apollo 18 TMBG mixtape.

Selling theatre tickets

Zobie — Sun, 23 Sep 2007 15:06:01 -0800

In haste, I ordered tickets to a Cirque du Soleil event from a web site that charged much more per ticket than Ticketmaster. Now that I know the difference, how can get rid of these tickets and get my money back? Will I get in trouble for selling these tickets for more than they cost, and how do these companies get away with doing this? I Googled Cirque du Soleil tickets and picked the first item. I also checked the box that stated that sales were final. When I went back and did some research, I noticed that I could have purchased tickets from Ticketmaster for much much less. I paid almost $300 more for tickets.

I'm an Aussie who is going to be spending a month in northern Georgia, in the area of Cedartown/Tallapoosa visiting his girlfriend's mother and boyfriend for Christmas. I'm looking for cheap and interesting things to see and do in the area -the weirder the better. I'm not adverse to travelling into Atlanta. Any advice you could give would be much appreciated!
