Mike Brown: Dual Christmas!
To me, the true meaning of Christmas is getting presents. All of the other Baby Jesus stuff and loving thy neighbor and spending time with the family? Shit, man, I can do that any other time of the year. I don’t need some invisible Christmas spirit to do that stuff. … read more
Mike Brown: The Liquor Store!
For SLUG’s Distillery Issue, I’m guiding our loyal, drunk readers on how to best navigate through the liquor store, and revealing the best deals.

Either way, local, amateur kickboxing does make for great entertainment on a Saturday night. … read more
Skateboarding is SOOOO Cool Right Now!

Shits and Giggles Never Hurt So Bad: The Face Off
So, Angela gave me this DVD to review called The Face Off. She must know that I have a high threshold of pain, which is the best way to describe viewing this. … read more
