This is a video I've tried to post before, but Vox wouldn't let me Tonight, though, it worked, so everyone can behold the cuteness of Trizzay, Elektra and Persephone when they were eight week old kittens (aka the age of maximum cuteness.)

What or who is your favorite product mascot? Why?

Could there be any other response than Duffman?

Duffman

Some of my favorite Duffman quotes:

Duffman: Duffman is thrusting in the direction of the problem!

Titania: You said if I slept with you, I wouldn't have to touch the drunk!
Duffman: Duff Man says a lot of things! Oooh yeah!!!

Duffman: Are you ready for some Duff love?!?!?

Duffman: Duffman wants to party down with the man who sent in 10,000 Duff labels to bring me here today. I've got a bottomless mug of new Duff Extra Cold for, Barney Gumbel!
All: Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!
Barney: I can't, I'm the designated driver!
(Everything stops)
Duffman: Yeah that's swell, Duff wholeheartedly supports the designated driver program. Now! Who wants to Party!

Duffman: New feelings brewing inside Duffman... What... WOULD JESUS DO?!

Last weekend was epic. Friday night I saw Son Volt and Drive-By Truckers at the Fillmore. I didn't have a camera, but someone else there did:

That pretty much sums up the DBT experience. Both Son Volt and DBT played full sets, so the show didn't let out until 1:30am. After that I drove to Santa Rosa and spent the night at a Motel 6, sleeping from 3am until 10. Got up and drove straight to Boonville, stopping only to buy a breakfast burrito at the Chevron station in Cloverdale, which has an epic taqueria inside it.

Here are some pictures I took when we first showed up and set up camp at the Mendecino County Fairgrounds in downtown Boonville.

I didn't take pictures of my the beer fest itself, which was awesome, but I did snap some photos of the morning after:

This weekend is going to be huge. Friday night is the Son Volt/Drive-By Truckers show at the Fillmore. After that, I drive to Ukiah and spend the night in a Motel 6, then get up thet next morning and drive straight to (hopefully sunny) Boonville, CA for the 10th annual Boonville Brew Fest. Camping in town this year since camping at Hendy Woods has gotten lame due to the alcohol ban.

Drive-By Truckers today announced the schedule for their spring US tour, promoting their forthcoming Lost Highway release, A Blessing and a Curse. Hell's yeah... two nights at the Fillmore, co-headling with No Depression prodigal sons Son Volt (DBT headlining Friday night, Son Volt Saturday.) That's going to be a huge weekend, what with the Boontville Brew Fest and all.
