showing Maria how to make a black'n'tan On Saturday, Maria (M-Dot) Afan and I worked Oysterfest for LLS. Basically, that means working from morning to night pouring Guinness-branded beers, with tips going to the Leukemia Society. It was a SUPER …

This is so fantastic. A few quotes from it: “…Where I excel is ridiculous, sickening work ethic. There is no easy way about it – your talent will fail you if you’re not skilled – if you don’t dedicate yourself to being better every single day…The o …
