Blogwatch: Leave Pigs Out of It, Craft Beer Stats, Dinner & A Freaky Jazz Show
A flu by any other name... Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack actually had to make the following public statement that H1N1, or swine flu: "People cannot get this flu from eating pork or pork products. Pork is safe to eat." The pork industry is suffering, as some countries have banned U.S pork products. In related news, CDC's cdc.gov/swineflu page is live. It redirects you to cdc.gov/h1n1flu.
Kate Hopkins of The Accidental Hedonist wraps up some beer industry numbers in a short op ed about America's changing wants and preferences with regards to beer. Big Beer's loss is craft beer's gain.
The Earshot Jazz Festival is picking up steam (kicked off last week), and tonight pianist Matthew Shipp plays the Asian Art Museum with Joe Morris. It will be a night of weirdly awesome jazz. A pre or post show pit stop to Poppy (622 Broadway E.) just might appropriately compliment this performance. Pre-show: Poppy has $5 appetizer thali and nightly drink specials during happy hour (5:00-7:00 p.m. Tue-Thu and Sun). Post show: Just get the date cake.
