Innis & Gunn can be bought here, and it is a decent beer. One year though, a bar had it on tap, while I was looking after my Dad. I drank that every damned time I could get there, it was a completely different beer on tap.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:46pm
Handy Haversack:

Oh, yeah, I've had that, Matt! Small doses, but it's good.

DjLorraine, very much depends on where you want to use it! A friend has the Ally-brand rubber canoe, which is pretty cool once you get the assembly figured out. I have also seen some really light paper ones.

But I wouldn't want to be on the East River in them! Calm waters, though? A light, portable boat would be a treat!

Here's something regarding Ceremony: "The record is described by another as being "one of the great screw-ups in rock history". As Wright describes it, "...We did a project that wasn't our album. It was with this French electronic music composer named Pierre Henry. We just told the label, 'You know this is his album, not our album. We'll play on it just like musicians.' And then when the album was finished, they said, 'Oh no no — it's great. We're gonna release this as your next album.' We said, 'You can't do that. It doesn't have anything to do with the direction of Spooky Two and it will ruin our career.' And that's exactly what happened."

Thanks all for listening, for the comments, for the camaraderie, for the spelling corrections, for tolerating the stuff you didn't like, and for any other courtesy I've left out.
