There are billboards in L.A. that are LCD display. A series of about 5 images rotate advertising Cars, Movies, Clothes etc. Riding my bike to the studio today I witnessed the Skull and Crossbones of L.A. artist Skullphone imbedded into the LCD as one of the images. I went back and took some photos, because these things never last long. Touche! I can’t wait until downtown Los Angeles becomes like Blade Runner.

Small Talk – St. Patrick’s Day

News — posted by: tyg @ 5:50 pm


Special St. Patrick’s Day Small Talk Special ……

Free Irish drinks 9:30 – 10:30 !!!! Then $5 ALL NITE LONG.

… Yes it’s true! Along with reduced Valet ….
and guest DJ TK Disco ……

Here is the free drink menu from the Standard Purple Lounge Bartender …..

top of the morning to ya, here’s a few Irish concoctions that I think will get the customers dancing a jig to the bar on St Paddys day.

Irish Black Russian

- Coffee Liquer
- Vodka
- Guiness

pour the coffee liquer and Vodka over ice and then pour Guiness on top.

Irish Lady

- Champayne
- Midori
- Orange juice

Pour the champayne then a little OJ then splash the Midori. The midori will then slowly turn the drink green.

Irish Martini

- Vodka
- Dry Vermouth
- Irish Whiskey

Pour the Irish whiskey into a chilled cocktail glass. Swirl around the glass in order to coat; drain excess. Pour the vodka and vermouth into a cocktail shaker half-filled with cracked ice. Shake well, and strain into the cocktail glass. Garnish with a twist of lemon, and serve.

Irish Carbomb

- Guiness
- Baileys
- Guiness

Add the Bailey’s and Jameson to a shot glass, layering the Bailey’s on the bottom. Pour the Guinness into a pint glass 3/4 of the way full and let settle. Drop the shot glass into the Guinness and chug. If you don’t drink it fast enough it will curdle and increasingly taste worse. Note I know from experience.. down it fast!!

Nutty Irishman

- Baileys
- Frangelico
- Cream

Pour ingredients into shaker over ice and shake until completely cold. Strain into a chilled, stemmed or rocks glass filled with ice

YUMMY!
Openbar from 9:30 – 10:30, then $5 all night long …..
