Sooo...sat on the back porch with Joe alllll night.

Yes, we were drinking and listening to lovely music...a lot...and smoking...quite a lot...and contemplating life and our lives...undoubtedly most of all. Ah, porch drinking has finally made its triumphant return ( Read more... )

Just a friendly reminder to pick up this week's The Other Paper. Contained within is Richard Ades' review of MadLab's Xmas 24.

Congrats to Bison's own Adam Simon and Justin Toomey on a job well done!
