Name: Katie Age: 24 Location: Atlanta, Georgia What makes you love Justified: It's a show about Southerners with actual characterization of people instead of blanket stereotypes! It's got fantastic characters and a good hold of continuity! The ladies are badass! I could go on. Favorite character: I think they're all my favorite in one way or another. Okay maybe not like Dewey Crowe or some of the guys from Detroit. Best quote: "Goddamn, woman, do you only shoot people when they're eating supper?!" Interesting fact about yourself: I make and drink Apple Pie regularly.
Name: Claire Age: almost 24 Location: Tennessee What makes you love Justified: All the awesome women, Timothy Olyphant's shirtlessness, character-actor-on-character-actor crime, everything about Tim Gutterson. Favorite character: 4-way tie between Rachel, Tim, Raylan, and Art Best quote: "Then I got his deer rifle from the kitchen closet, and I went in there and I did what I had to do." Interesting fact about yourself: I was almost on Jeopardy, but they wanted me on the show one week after I moved to a new state and started a new job, so that wasn't happening.
One of these days when we have a free weekend we need to get together, I mean we're like two hours apart, seriously.
I was almost on Jeopardy! Well, Junior Jeopardy, and I was like the top-3 Southeast finalist or something and didn't get picked, but it was close. You made it closer. SO COOL.
1/2 gallon of apple juice 1/2 gallon of apple cider 1 1/2 cup brown sugar 4 cinnamon sticks 1/2 liter of moonshine/ corn whiskey/ Everclear
Add apple juice, apple cider, the white and brown sugar, and the whole fresh cinnamon sticks to a large pot and bring to a boil. Remove the pot from the stove and let it cool down to room temperature. Once at room temperature, gradually stir in the alcohol. What you don’t consume in one sitting, you can bottle for later use. Store it in sterile Mason jars, place one of the cinnamon sticks you used in each jar, and then store them in a cool dark dry place (or your fridge). Will stay good for the foreseeable future, but you'll drink it all before it can go bad. This batch will make about 4 1/2 quarts.
Of course, adjust to taste. You can slice up an apple to put in the jars, but be careful when you eat the fruit, because boozy fruit will make your face go numb with the speed at which it gets you drunk.
It's good stuff! I will be utilizing more of it in future alcohol experiments. I was actually out at a bar last week with a friend and we were talking to this guy who had just decided, after roadtripping around for awhile, that he was going to move to Atlanta. And he had just come from North Carolina and a friend who had an actual moonshine still and made Apple Pie straight out of the still, and he went back to his hotel room and got me and Maria a big cup of Apple Pie, and HOLY SHIT that was delicious. (And also, I got the story out of it of that time I went to a bar and took beer and moonshine from a stranger, haha)
Q: Were you reticent to play a role where the character is such a bigot? Walton Goggins: I don’t like being the token Southern racist and I think that that is trite and overdone and we’ve seen it. Racism exists everywhere in this world, not just in the South. So, yes, I was very reticent at first and had long conversations with the creators before I began, and wanted to make Boyd very smart and self-taught and almost have a genius IQ. They went for that. I also didn’t want him to necessarily believe everything that he was preaching and we were able to do that with infusion of intelligence and a love of words.
I've seen Walton Goggins talk about this idea in interviews before on youtube; this quote came from one with the AJCI SO get that. Southerners being painted with a broad brush with little sense of diversity or personality, where the Southerner is the token idiot, the token racist. They're there to make other people look better. And look I KNOW this region has a reputation for a reason, but I've lived here my whole life and I

For a totally different thought (that I promise is related) a friend and I were recently discussing hipsterdom and the whole concept of wearing things that are fashionably unfashionable, using old-fashioned cameras and record players, collecting kitschy shit bought at Urban Outfitters or Anthropologie, liking stuff that isn't too popular, and trying to get some sort of nostalgic rustic aesthetic of simplicity. Except it's all fake, of course; the cheap funky cameras are $120 Holga cameras with an extra fish-eye lens, the homemade-looking quilt cost over a hundred at UO, they look like lumberjacks even though they live in the middle of Brooklyn, or LA, or Atlanta. They have to be *ironic*, because being genuine about mason-jar lamps, or using things that your family has used for the past eighty years, or not being able to afford a nice coordinated set of bedroom linens, or dressing like that because that nice dress your mom bought in 1992 is still wearable and fits is… not cool. It's backwards. You can glamorize a sanitized version of
