Miscalleneous Kewl Stuff & Deals

First, a deal improvement: Restaurant.com now has 70% dining coupons ($3 for a $25 coupon), coupon code: CHEERS. Thanks SlickDeals.net.

Now , if you've read my posts before, you know how much I like Woot! They have a Woot! Wine deal this week for Chateau Souverain 2003 Syrah Port (duet). Now, granted, Woot usually has unheard of prices... This deal has a couple things going for it... I've loved the Chateau Souverain Cabernet Sauvignon since the 1997 vintage(?) (I think it got a 94 WS score). I love ports. A quick Google search for this comes up with prices just about $40 a bottle. Two bottles for $55 shipped! Woot Wine!

Recapping another fave site, The Style Invitational in The Washington Post. You think you can wordsmith with the best? Here even the "losers" are winners. Actually, quite literally. I know that sounds like an old cliche from your youthful soccer team coach, but here it rings true.

What's the coolest light fixture you've seen? You've prolly agreed with me, The Ventana Lamp by Pablo OF COURSE! It is at 2modern, which I'd blogged several whiles ago as a hip modern furniture place in SF. Wow, simply stunning, n'est pas?

When was the last time you visited Cute Overload? Well, maybe it's time again. I'm just saying... there is cuteness and then there is cuteness. And then.. There is overload. Go visit.

I always kinda keep up on The Gothamist blog 'cuz NYC is still my home away from, uhhh... me. And their office down in my old hood (okay, I was just North of Houston, they are 3 blocks South of my old digs... technically). This Hello... My Name Is... post about an artist is intruiging.

Also, I like the combination of sparseness and architecture in the Revere Sugar Refinery pics on The Gothamist. I guess this building has seen better days (gone by now, eh?), but I dunno if it's ever seen better images taken of it. Stunning! Cheers peeps.
