I was with my man Chris from K1X, who was visiting from Berlin, at the newest burger spot in my area, Five Guys… A good quick burger, probably one of the closest things to In-N-Out on the East Coast. While we were getting our drinks, he did some crazy cafeteria ‘suicide’ style mixing, half Coca-Cola, half orange Fanta. WHAT… IS… THAT?!? I asked… “You never had this? It’s called a ‘spezi’ in Germany.” So I made my own, and I will say: it’s good. Not too hard to figure out it’s a lot like a Cherry Coke… But with orange. He tells me it’s based on an old drink brand in Germany called Spezi, with the slogan “Spezi ist Spitze,” or “Spezi Is Great”. Chris then asked me if I’d ever tried Sprite in beer. I had to shake my head ‘No…’  What are you guys doing over there in Berlin?

My friend Wendy sent me this piece about Pete Nice from 3rd Bass. Seems the Rap Prime Minister (“some say sinister”) is in some tangles about his baseball and sports memorabilia collection. My friend Jeff from my old days working at Drawing Board was friends with the guy and told me he had an insane baseball collection and planned on opening a museum up in Cooperstown, but I don’t know what ever happened with that. Probably like those stories of Terminator X raising ostriches.
