Get Back to Your Roots

Wilco Will Love You Baby
Wilco's back! Well, they never left, they just didn't put out a new album in the last two years. Perfectly acceptable since they've been touring the whole time. This one is well worth the wait, too. For several days several weeks back, they streamed the gnarly new album on their website, WilcoWorld.net, for all to hear. We barely breathed for 45 minutes.
You've Done Well, Young Grasshopper
When Mike Adams came aboard as Art Intern, we had no idea about his delicious past. Several years back, while he was still in high school, Mike started Eddie's Energy Bars in his parents' kitchen. And they've taken off.

What Was Your First Magic Hat Experience?
We want to hear all about it your first time...with Magic Hat, be it gory, glory or borey. We feel that your first craft beer is a rite of passage, and thus should be studies, scrutinized and shared. We won't judge you...much.
To get you going, here’s a little ditty of our own:
“Some friends and I took a trip to Burlington to visit another friend who had been interning, pro bono, at a local graphic design firm. His bosses had decided to hook him up with several cases of #9 to thank him for slaving away all summer. He in turn threw a party.
