nothin’ wrong with shameless self-promotion!

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

Yup! That’s right, self-promotion! We here at Vitamin C4 believe, at least for those I am sitting next to, it’s a dog-eat-dog kinda world. So, if you’re going to get eaten- eat yourself – or, at least allow others to eat you when you are ripe. 

I am writing to you today to inform you about my, Austin Hartman, other sites that are in congruence with this site (in the incestuous kinda way of being from Santa Cruz). 

1) Nobody Poops But You
A webcomic that is a children’s story for adults. It is broken up into four chapters, two of which are currently available, and are not actually suitable for children.

2) Austin’s Comics & Blog
That’s right! I’ve got a site/blog in which I post my comics/doodles/drawings and more! I can’t explain much more other then that. But here is a taste of what’s on the site:


Alright. Check out the sites. (sorry Ethan, sorry Hiram. I guess I shouldn’t have been given the password for the site)

Vitamin C4′s guide to day time drinking:

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010
I think we are all aware of society’s conceptions about drinking in the day time – or at least before five pm. Another thing I think we all know, or at least those who enjoy a couple, or several, drinks in the early afternoon is that it can feel a little dirty. As if people might think you “have a problem”. Well, we here at Vitamin C4 don’t think you “have a problem”. Heck, we all enjoy beers, fernet, whiskey, what ever spirit or ale is your vice. This is a guide of places that make the day time drinker feel comfortable and at ease.

1) Cafe Pergolessi:
This is a coffee house first and foremost. But matched with its hipster-student-i don’t give a fuck chic, and a nice selection of beers, bottled and on tap, it is a great place to knock the first couple back. Another additive to being a comfortable day time drinking spot, is that even around noon a majority of it patrons are indulging in a beer or wine as they sit out on its large front and side decks reading, working or studying. Only draw back is that when drinking on the porch there is no exterior music system which leaves you with open ears to eaves drop on the surrounding chatter that is usually pretentious and/or obnoxious.
BOOZE: beer and wine
SMOKING: on the patio.
ATMOSPHERE: A
SCUMMY LEVEL: D

2) The Red Room:
With a lot of table seating this popular night time bar is more then comforting, and even better in my eyes, during the day time. With a consistently scheduled staff it’s quick to become a regular at this day time hot spot. Not only is it an excellent place to order up a pint and a shot and shoot the shit with your pals, it is also a wonderful and comfortable place to read, write or doodle on bar napkins while listening to either rock, punk, occasionally metal, blues, soul or jazz music (bartenders choice). With a fully stocked bar of beer, wines and hard alcohols, it is easy to find yourself a little tipsy quicker then you might have hoped.
BOOZE: full bar
SMOKING: yessir
ATMOSPHERE: A
SCUMMY LEVEL: C

3) The Avenue (back deck):
This is a tricky one. I do, on my deepest and darkest nights of drinking, tend to enjoy a drink from the Avenue mostly for the novelty of it, and as long as I am surrounded by my tougher looking friends. But for this day time spot, it is nice to grab a pitcher of beer and head out to the back deck. With the sun shinning down on a large wooden deck with tables and bench seating, it’s a lovely spot to laugh loud and talk dirty with your pals, and again – also good for getting some reading done, as long as there isn’t a football game on the television.
BOOZE: full bar
SMOKING: yup yup
ATMOSPHERE: B
SCUMMY LEVEL: A-

4) The ‘Ol Flask in the bag trick:
This is pretty self explanatory although not entirely recommended. This day time drinking trick might indicate possible problems with drinking. But, it is okay if you are in a position where you will need it for later. Quick to drop a quick sip on a cola or coffee, the flask is ready when you are. Downside is that it will often leave you smelling of booze in awkward locations that aren’t bars.
BOOZE: whatever you decide to pack it with
SMOKING: you tell me.
ATMOSPHERE: C
SCUMMY LEVEL: A-

From all of us here at VitaminC4, drink safely and responsible, and we raise our glass to you.
Cheers.
