Cork Fee
We didn't get a positive I.D. on this fella, but he was running around with corks in his ears, chugging wine directly from the bottle, inappropriately (but with permission) touching the ladies and simply having a blast. He must have big bucks, and be a fast talker because his pass was not pulled by the Food and Wine authorities. It's good to see you Dad.

Stella.....Stella
As many of you know---Bud Light is one of A-Spin's many sponsors, and we like Stella too. Stella Artois' parent company InBev is making a take-over play for Anheuser-Busch. As long as the check clears---we'll stay out of the fray,--- but we'd kind of like to see AB stay in American hands. Waaaaaaaaaz up with that hair, dude. Photo: Jordan Curet.

Is it legal?
"Absinthe is soooooooo good ---when it flows into your body, you get all numb and sh*t" ---anonymous.
A very potent herbal potion, Absinthe was the drink of choice among "bad men" in bohemian Paris in the late 19th century. The "green fairy" or 'devil in a bottle" as it's known is reported to have hallucinogenic properties. If you decide to imbibe---wear a helmet.
