Sillydog Photography photo of  Loft Organic Tangernie LiqueurYep, I’m takin’ about me.  You can check out all the bottles over at the New Deal Distillery site.
I tried it out, doing a gig for Lisa of Loft Liqueurs, who I’m also helping to make said liqueurs in commercial quantities. Turns out, I do pretty good work, just as Matt had suggested. I’ve had several photography avenues open up lately, so I’ll keep you posted. However, I might just have to put my shingle out as a product photographer.

These images were actually taken outside, with natural light. Cool, eh?

Loft Organic Liqueurs have agave syrup in them instead of sugar or corn syrup, and they’re flavoured with real organic ingredents instead of essential oils or toxic chemicals. The whole product line, which includes ginger, lemongrass, tangerine, blueberry and lavender (I swear, it’s good) for sale in Oregon as of 1 July. They’ve been on sale at quite a few different stores and bars in California and New York for some time. The rest of the world can buy them online.

Everyone LOVES the tangerine, though we’ve not sampled the blueberry yet. Matt’s chompin’ at the bit, and had even put the model bottle in the freezer at one point. I’ll let you know.

See how great my new tangerine bottles looks compared with the previous bottles. Oh, I’m so pleased with how it turned out.

Secret Uptown Pinball RoomWhile I was travelling back in the Twin Cities, I had a chance to visit some old haunts. Why not give them a review. I know some good secret spots, especially out in the burbs, but I dedided to start w/ that Uptown staple, the ol’ Leaning Tower of Pizza. You can see the review on wCities.
I can’t tell you how many dorm rooms I’ve seen their boxes. Good place for drinks, too.
