Hennessy Artistry @ Velvet, Zouk

I know this is a bit backlogged but you know why?
Cos after i susah payah upload the pictures unto a post, it went screwy on me and i couldn’t bear to continue it till i had ample time. I only had ample time on Monday night since i didn’t have any events/something to go for.

I went for the Hennessy event i blogged about one Friday after work. Nick of Nuffnang was layan enough to pass me extra VIP invites to invite my friends as well. Being the last-minute person i am, i invited QueenKanch, FaiTheMai and AshleyTheMonkey to go for it with me on the day itself :p

Hennessy Artistry

I told them to meet me outside at a certain time cos i was to be punctual. And usually they are, just for once… all three were late -_-

The whole point of inviting your friends to an event with you is so that they’d suffer early in the night with you right.  :xshy:

So i waited outside for them…

buggers these people don\'t know how to come on time... -_-

In all honesty, i don’t mind waiting alone unless i’m late for something, then it gets me antsy.
Cos while i’m waiting, i can just stone and space out while taking a chill pill from work.

I watched people queuing up at the registration booth - for those who registered online, invited guests, VIP guests and media. I was quite surprised people came early and on time for a party event, which was a good thing, no doubt!

outside

There was also an Art of Mixing booth outside to pique curiosity from bystanders like me, which was pretty cool. People were encouraged to ask their silly questions from a professional DJ while fiddling around with the turntables and mixer to try out what it’s like behind the decks. If anything, i think it enabled guests to appreciate a DJ more cos it’s not as easy as it looks once you’re behind it doing the work!

DJs that were to look forward to that night were DJ Andrew K, DJ Keri and VJ Callen.

The gang finally arrived and we trooped inside.

PR dude Ian was super layan and took us to our reserved table. I saw Deep and gang at the lounge area and went to say hi to them. After fluttering around catching up with people around there, i realised where my gang was seated was so not happs so i dragged them all to where the action was.

The poser and the dreadlocked

queenkanch + fairyjoyce

QueenKanch + moi (we had to take three pictures before she approved -_-)

Sometimes i’m damn scared when i take Kanch out for events. Cos the woman is damn diva and if she doesn’t like it, she’ll give a sniff of disapproval, make a polite excuse and leave.

Luckily she didn’t ditch me that night. Because apparently there were a lot of cute guys (i didn’t see any… maybe cos i don’t switch my radar on anymore)

Kanch: Ooh… i like this event. At least they tapis the crowd… Nice, nice *nods*

Trust her to come up with a phrase of tapis-ing the crowd…

I bumped into Van who introduced me to Andrew K (one of the DJs featured that night), and i thought i might as well camwhore with him for this post  :xlaughing:

DJ Andrew K

I had no idea what to expect from his music but it turned out fantastic and got me going into party mode!

doress + the canvas

Doress + EddyTheCanvas

I hadn’t seen much of Doress since the first time i met her in Bali, suddenly bumped into her with them and we drank lots and lots of Hennessy cocktails.

 :xsilly:

Which are, by the way, really tasty and strong.

hennessy artistry

I’ve never been a fan of Hennessy as i always see it as an old’s man drink that i end up drinking when the boys in Somo open a bottle or other friends do. It’s just that with other tastier drinks around, i don’t see why i had to make myself suffer with Hennessy when i could order something else stronger and better.

That event changed my mind.

Velvet waiters just kept on coming with the Hennessy City Cocktails. I loved it cos you never had to crane your neck to look for a waiter when your drink was done, they were already waiting with a tray of them!

For the Hennessy City Cocktails (admittedly i like name), there’s Hennessy Miami, Hennessy Shanghai, Hennessy Moscow and Hennessy Paris.

And they were good! Each had a distinct taste so everyone eventually pinpointed which one they liked best. Not only did they taste luscious but they were strong too.

I fancied the Hennessy Miami best.

Hennessy Artistry

They even have all the recipes on the Hennessy Artistry website so you can try concocting them for yourself if you missed the event  :xwinky:

Now i know what to do when my guy friends get together for a house party and drink Hennessy… i can make these and my complaints will cease!

They call him ‘nigger’ and asking me to do the same. Even Junil himself said so. But… i can’t very well call him nigger on my blog!!!

grinny me + doress

This is me on too many Hennessy City Cocktails  :xwhatevah:

I went to say hi to Callen, who was working it on the visuals for the night.

dj callen

I kept on bugging him to pose. He gave me…

And then…

dj callen

Like an uncle. We need to give you Posing Tuition…

DJ Keri was on stage singing, so i crept up to take a pic.

dammit

Fail = Blur because tipsy people don’t know how to change digicam settings.

dj keri

Also taking pics of DJ Keri was ShaolinTiger.

shaolin tiger + kinkybluefairy

open your eyes la bro

JP couldn’t open his eyes after all that Hennessy.

uh oh...

alamak. again terlupa -_-

This girl came to take pics with me and being the happy friendly drunk i am, i asked for her name and took a picture with her too. I forgot it after half an hour, sorry!

I forced myself to leave Velvet at 1am… or was it 2..? Cos i’d really had enough to drink already.

QueenKanch and i went for supper with Roen (SEE. I’M WRITING YOUR NAME HERE OKAY and it’s not because you threw a party!) and gang who made a big hullabaloo telling funny stories.

The following Monday at work, i bumped into Van in the pantry. We barely chat at work.

Van: Andrew K! *out of nowhere*
Me: … Dude… i woke up the next day remembering how i was dancing in the console okay..!!!

I haven’t gone prancing in the Velvet console like that for at least half a year.
What happened to my composed self?!

I’m blaming the Hennessy City Cocktails.

Streamyx Combo

IRC, ICQ… man, those were the days everyone was mostly still on a dial-up connection.
In this day and time when the Internet is of such necessary importance (for work, research, procrastinating work, news, blogs, vids, the list is endless) i cannot fathom how anyone makes do with a dial-up connection.

In fact, if you do use dial-up connection, don’t tell me.
Or anyone else for that matter.
It’s best things like this are kept to yourself.
Sort of how bizarre habits are.

I can give you three reasons straight up why dial-up is a service of extinction.

1. Unlimited Use

You pay a flat rate every month with broadband.
Hence there is no limit on how much/long you use the internet a month.
You could keep your pc online 24/7 for all we care and only have to suffer your electricity bills, be it for webcam surveillance (tho i must ask, what *are* you exhibiting/spying on!?) or continuous download while you’re out.

2. Savings

As above, you don’t have to worry about how long you are online. Read: total opposite of how i am when i’m online in some cyber cafe overseas and counting the minutes and ringgit spent *being* online. Stress.

3. Speed

Of the utmost importance.
Time is of essence.
And time spent waiting for something to download is gone a-wasting, when you could have it completed in a shorter span instead of sitting there staring at a screen, tap-tap-tapping your fingers away.
If you just moved, or merely don’t have broadband (unthinkable!), TM @ www.streamyx.com.my just started a new unbeatable Streamyx promotion that you can latch unto.

Streamyx

Look, they have a nasi lemak version too. Too cute.

Streamyx

All you have to pay as an entry into the Streamyx Combo is RM60.
That’s right.
RM60.
Want me to type it again (just like how you have to retype passwords)?

RM60.

For RM60 (sorry, got addicted to typing it), you get 384kbps with a modem, including fixed line rental.

So you can go for the RM60 package la la la (i’m not even going to refer to it as any other name as c’mon, we look at how much this is going to cost us first) and should you want to go for further deals (this is where it’s difficult to keep to your plot)…

For an additional RM28, you get to make unlimited local calls and STD (F2F) from that line.
This doesn’t include calls to mobile phones. We’re not going to lie to you here. Calls to mobile numbers will cost you RM0.25/min. Beat that!

Should you want to improve your speed, you just have to add RM30 (upon the initial RM60, forget about that RM28 i just mentioned) for 512kbps speed and a monthly fee of RM90.

That means for you just pay RM90 (RM60 + RM30) to get everything going.
(refer to red box in chart below)
And if you want your Internet faster, it’s RM110 (RM60 + RM50) for 1Mbps.

So on and so forth:

Streamyx Combo

By doing this, you get Streamyx + a fixed line = a cheaper rate; because you don’t have to pay rental for fixed lines anymore.

What if you already have a fixed line?
No problem.
This promotion is applicable to fixed line owners or new fixed line applicants.

Did you read that part about the modem being provided, correctly?
Absolutely. All Streamyx COMBO packages come with free modem.

Are you sure there’s nothing else we need to pay?
We’re not hiding anything here. An RM75 activation fee will be charged in your first bill of your Streamyx package.
I have no idea why you’re still reading this (should you not have broadband already) and check out the rest of the details here

Hennessy Artistry @ Zouk on the 18th

I’ve gone for past Hennessy events before,
at Bliss in May, 2005.
And one with Kevin in 2006 in that whatchucallit glass bar near the Shang.

Hennessy Artistry

I must admit that as a result of all those events they’ve been pulling off with some serious kick-ass musicians performing, every time someone mentions “Hennessy event” i immediately assume i’ll be watching some international musician i’ve never heard of but sourced and brought down for the reason they’re fantastic.
And being the global music campaign they’re trying to be, they do end up exposing these talents to blur cases like me.

Hennessy Artistry

What they’ve always tried to achieve is mixing sound, visual innovation and drinking experiences from around the world at each and every event.

Past Hennessy events in KL in 2007…

Kat DeLuna

Kat DeLuna!

Kat DeLuna

Kat DeLuna

She looks a bit like Jessica Alba, doesn’t she?

Hennessy Artistry

In US, Hennessy had artistes like Pharrell and Fallout Boy performing last year, whereas 2006 saw them pulling in other artistes like Kanye West, Goldfrapp (i likey), The Strokes (i likey too!) and DJ Carl Cox

The first Hennessy Artistry event in KL for 2008 is set to be held at Zouk on Friday, 18th of April.

Zouk KL

Zouk KL

Remember how i wrote about having superlicious cocktails in Anantara @ Bali, and then at Frangi’s when the cocktail-concocting gang were working it there?

Yeah.

Getting *that* right cocktail to push your senses into further bliss is the new thang.
Actually, it’s not that new… been around for awhile, but ppl are catching on now.

Hennessy Artistry

At Hennessy Artistry, you get to try their Hennessy international city cocktails - Hennessy Miami, Hennessy Shanghai, Hennessy Moscow, and Hennessy Paris.
I have no clue what they’re like, but i’ll let you know should you miss out!

Hennessy Artistry

So what sort of music can we expect whilst trying out new drinks to welcome the weekend? (it will be on a Friday after all!)

There’ll be DJ Andrew K, an accomplished performer from Greece.

Hennessy Artistry

Inspired by a wide range of music styles from experimental, downtempo, and jazz to rock and punk (hmm that should be interesting…), he’s played to partygoers spanning from Latin America and Europe to USA.

He has received support from the likes of John Digweed, Sasha, Nick Warren, and Armin van Buuren; as well as having over 20 releases on labels such as the renowned Global Underground, Mo-Do, Pure Substance, Armada, Wallop and more.

[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/SQXM5wFi1wU" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]
A bombshell to look out for that night is DJ Keri.

Hennessy Artistry

How can you say no to red hair? Silly
Though i think this is an old picture and it’s not red anymore.

She’s got a real unique look, doesn’t she?
If you’re curious on how it came about, her mix is Choctaw (Native American Indian), German and Creole.

DJ Keri captivates the sounds of breakbeats and progressive house, overlaid with her own angelic vocals.
And it is pretty angelic if you watch the vid below.
Makes me think of words like ‘euphoria’.

With her unique combination of vocal performance and dynamic training, she’s played to tens of thousands of clubbers the world over, stating that her personal mission is to touch as many people as she can with her unusual sound.

I guess we’ll just have to wait and see for ourselves how ‘unusual’ her set is.
Winky

Interesting facts for you guys:
- been featured in Playboy (Oct ‘03 and April ‘04), FHM and Maxim mags (ha! i bet that piqued your interest didn’t it…)
- besides being a DJ and singer, she’s also a producer and model

Hennessy Artistry

[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/dhp2uarYCsQ" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]
And representing our homegrown artistes will be DJ/VJ Callen.
If you’re not familiar with Callen’s name, you must at least have heard about the 3-man group he’s a part of - Altered Image.

Hennessy Artistry
L-R: Callen, Terence C, Didjital

Callen has been a familiar face in the KL club scene for years since 1985 which was… shite, that’s when i was 2 years old!

I used to ask PassedOutBen who’s this and who’s that when i first started writing about DJs four years back.
“Ben, who’s Callen?”
“Oh my god. I can’t believe you’re asking me. They will die if they hear you say that!”

POB loves stating that his boys will die hearing me say all sorts of things.
He enlightened me that Callen set up Excessive Records, and after some research, it was obvious that Callen’s a pioneer of our local progressive house movement.

So get ready to experience total sensory overload as he’ll be showcasing his special brand of visual wizardry alongside the night’s live performance.

Hennessy Artistry

Guinness + St Patrick’s Day

advertorial

St. Patrick’s Day is almost upon us and despite the popularity of its celebration not widespread amongst Malaysians, you can’t deny being constantly reminded of it by all these ads Guinness has been circulating.

 

When someone mentions St. Patrick’s Day, images of leprechauns and four-leaved clovers spring to mind.
Silly
I happened to be in Edinburgh on this particular day in 2001, and i didn’t know what was going on.
People were yelling and laughing and going “Cheers!” to people passing the pubs.
Guys were racing around carrying flags on their backs and whooping away (rugby i think)
Younger ones were running down the street, wearing tall silly hats.
And drinking. A lot of drinking.

 

“What’s going on..!?” i asked my friends who’re all from there.
“It’s St. Patrick’s Day. I guess you don’t celebrate it back home…”

 

I remember partying like crazy with them.
But those people don’t need a celebration/excuse to party at any rate.

 

Because Guinness also has a rich heritage dating back 250 years, it has somehow become synonymous with the holiday (appearing in my reading up about it, even on bbc.co.uk!)

 

In conjunction with the holiday this year, Guinness appointed celebrity chef Emmanuel Stroobant to infuse Guinness with cuisine. The main man for Chef in Black demonstrated the versatility of Guinness not just as a beverage, but also it’s ability in playing a key role in dishes.

 

“Guinness Draught has such a rich and distinctive flavour that goes well with almost anything, although my personal favourite is rack of lamb glazed with some Guinness. Simply succulent and distinctly Guinness.”
- Emmanuel Stroobant

 

Of course, seeing that not all of us are fortunate to get him as a personal chef (even for half an hour!) you can still treat yourself to a bite of Guinness-inspired food at six participating bars and outlets in Klang Valley throughout the whole month of March, woo hoo!

 

Sorry to those living elsewhere, next time Winky

 

Jarrod & Rawlins on Jalan Dungun are one of the six outlets, and i was just there with LaughingLoga two weeks back (but the promotion hadn’t started yet).
I had a prawn avocado sandwich, streaky bacon and Guinness Draught.
He had dynamite sausages and… i forgot Shy (cos i only nicked his dynamite sausages).

 

Last Tuesday, i drove there with new KLue writer, Priya, who thankfully showed me directions even though she just got back from New York and i really should be the one who’s not such a lost mouse.

 

 

 

 

 

Guinness + Jarrod & Rawlins

 

Our drink orders were taken and someone said, “You don’t have to have Guinness if you don’t want to…”

 

Oh dude. You have no idea how often i drink Guinness Draught.

 

Guinness + Jarrod & Rawlins

 

Guinness + Jarrod & Rawlins

 

Guinness + Jarrod & Rawlins

 

Guinness + Jarrod & Rawlins

 

Guinness + Jarrod & Rawlins

 

Chorizo, salami, mushrooms + peppers.

 

I didn’t even have to be surprised at what i ate there cos i’ve been going to Jarrod & Rawlins ever since they opened their first outlet in Hartamas and it has always been a preferred restaurant for me to catch up with friends.
If i want something heavy, i’d go for their pies, mash or steaks. Medium rare, please.
If i want something light, i’d go for their sandwiches (prawn avocado, mmm)
And i always wash it down with either shiraz or Guinness Draught.

 

Guinness + Jarrod & Rawlins

 

Serrano ham (below), king island cheddar, feta, and peppers stuffed with feta.

 

Guinness + Jarrod & Rawlins

 

All the appetizers complimented the Guinness Draught, and we couldn’t stop going, “Mmm…”
Priya doesn’t even fancy peppers but she ended up with one in her mouth!

 

Then came the lamb ribs, which are the Guinness promotion specialty.

 

Guinness + Jarrod & Rawlins

 

Guinness + Jarrod & Rawlins

 

Grilled Iberian pork ribs and crumbed pork pattie served with caramelized Guinness mustard glaze, dried cherry tomato, butter mashed beetroot, yogurt and sautée arugula (like rocket).

 

RM62++

 

It was fantastic.

 

Initially i was trying to maintain and cut the meat off with my knife and fork, but after a while, i decided to screw the idea and delicately held it with my fingers to gnaw on.
I couldn’t help it. The ribs would be insulted if i pathetically tried in vain to eat it.
That’s the way ribs are meant to be eaten *crosses arms and nods sagely*

 

When i asked chef Jacob how he found cooking with Guinness, he replied, “Certain people find it difficult to work with Guinness but i’m fine with it, it’s my first time working it with pork but it works!”

If this has piqued your interest, you can go to these outlets to try their Guinness dishes there:

Lip Ice

advertorial

I am a lip balm girl.

Without lip balm, i will literally just bleed and die.
Okay. I was exaggerating. I might not die, but i sure as hell will bleed!
I have lips which are very sensitive and every time the weather takes a turn for the hotter or the wetter, they’d get dry really easily, just like when i was in Chiang Mai two months ago.

They used to be worse when i was in school.
Licking of lips would ensue in further cracking and redness, resulting in them being so painful, they’d go numb.
You think i’m joking?
Man, i used to pore over my Add Math book, oblivious to the condition of my lips due to the fact that they were so painful, i couldn’t even tell what their condition was anymore.

At one point of time, Angeline or Yishyene (my high school mates) made me laugh so much, i laughed/stretched my lips till they accidentally cracked and bled unto the square-patterned book, much to my shock.

To a point when i wake up in the morning to brush my teeth and opening my ClosedForTheNight mouth was such torture, they’d crack and bleed.

Trust me.

If anyone had problems which lip balm solved, i have. *raises up hand*

After incidences and experiments of going through various lip balm brands, i finally pinpointed the culprit brand (which i’m not going to state), plus it didn’t help that i was allergic to a particular chemical in particular brand.
So yes.
I cannot afford to go out without a lip balm in my handbag.

To avoid having to shift lip balms from one bag to another, i usually have one in each.
Which is why i think Lip Ice’s price for their Colour Lipbalm is very decent at RM12.90.
They have 6 shades - Pretty Pink, Hazel Rose, Hazel Blush, Candy Apple, Fresh Plum and Peach Cream.
Each (naturally) have a super moisture retention formula and AcHA (Sodium Acetyl Hyaluronate, as well as contains Vitamin E, Lanolin oil, Meadow Foam Seed Oil and Mango Seed Butter.

As you can see in the picture below, i only shot 4 out of the 6 variants…

Lip Ice

… that they have available because i got too excited in opening two first.

To be fair, i wore it out all last month - office, events, parties.

I was putting some on at Starbucks @ Pavilion when QueenKanch, being the Makeup-Observer that she is, noticed it.
“Eh, Joyce, what’s that?”

“Oh, it’s this Lip Ice thing… nice ar?”

She scrutinized, then went, “Nice, nice,” while nodding her head approvingly.
Okay. When the queen of make up says it’s nice. Then by damn, it must be nice.

I wore it out to one of the Kent parties on a Friday as well.

Lip Ice
DatinTini + i

This is what i was wearing then, the Lipice Colour Lipbalm in Hazel Blush -
Lip Ice

And that was when i, urm, got greedy, tore open another package to chuck into another handbag ‘cos i didn’t want to go digging for the first one.
Lipice Colour Lipbalm in Candy Apple -

Lip Ice

Lip Ice

Besides the Lip Ice Colour Lipbalm, there are two other types:
- Lip Ice Color Gloss, for when you really want to draw attention to your lips at parties.
- Lip Ice Sheer Color, for a more natural tinge during the daytime.

Lip Ice

Lip Ice

Lip Ice

Needless to say, gloss is gloss la.

With LipIce gloss, it goes on evenly and its texture allows you to apply a slightly thicker layer of gloss should you want more glam coverage.
The Lip Ice Sheer Color, on another hand, supposedly gives lips a light pinkish tinge.
When i opened it, i was like, “Sheer colour..? More like no colour okay -_-”

Lip Ice

But i did the hand test, and there *was* colour.

Lip Ice

Seeing its colour’s really sheer, i’d say my best bet for wearing this is to wear it
- in the daytime.
- when you’ve done your eyes up dramatic, as to play down the lips.
- over other matte lip colours you already own, to alter its colour as well as add moisture.

I got a few, to which in fairy happiness i gave out to my close friends and colleagues, but guess what!
I was thinking that because Lip Ice seems kinda fairy-like, i’m going to send three readers one each, with a fairy card! All you have to do is tell me what was the most memorable lippy situation you had (kinkybluefairy@gmail.com), it could be like my horrible lipbalm allergy story, your first kiss, anything at all. The story just has to involve lips ;)You get a Lip Ice and a Fairy card!

Added Note:
Argh, some of you are sending to joycethefairy@gmail.com. No, don’t! It’s mixing up with my other emails..!
Remember send to kinkybluefairy@gmail.com
Contest ends Sunday 16th March 2008

Added Note #2:
Sorry, but only for residents of Malaysia
Also, please keep it to less then 500 words… some of you are writing super long stories, walau 0_o

Lip Ice

And not just any Fairy card. But a Flower Fairy card from M&S Winky
I have so many and what better way to send Lip Ice then in a Flower Fairy card.
I’m sending it out of sheer fairy-lovin’ happiness and joy and spreading fairy love and… Okay fine. You got me. I’m just starting my fairy cult okay.

 

Guinness Draught.

advertorial

The day AlcoJason came back for hols, i dropped everything and scrambled to meet the fellow to catch up.

We had a slight drama at first cos he was going to 1U to get a new hp for a prepaid Msian line, and in order to find him there he asked me to sms his UK line.

I couldn’t get his UK line. Whatevah
At all. Whatevah

After walking around the new wing in 1U looking for him like a donkey for an hour, i gave up and went to grab a pie and latte at Coffeebean whilst waiting for him to call me when he got his line up instead.

Little did i know that *my* phone was having connection problems and he couldn’t get through as well, all i got was a worried-sounding voicemail from him saying his phone with the UK line crashed all of a sudden.

What’s with our phone karma!?

Fellow tried calling me again from a public phone and we managed to hook up. Finally.

It was a Monday night and i wasn’t sure what was going on in town, so we decided to drink at TTDI Plaza.

Guinness

AlcoJason and i have always had drinks when we catch up in recent years.
But it never included Guinness Draught before.
I figure in the time we haven’t seen each other, our drinking preferences have changed dramatically if not somewhat.

I automatically went, “Guinness draught please,” to the waiter.
“Ha? Guinness? I didn’t know you like Guinness draught!” blurted AlcoJason.
“You have no idea dude… i drink it like almost every day now.”
“It’s okay, i like Guinness draught too!”
“… Guinness draught la then.” Laughing

Guinness Draught

Guinness Draught

(walau i cannot do this wei. editing pics of the foam makes me wanna run out to drink it now -_-)

JappyCalvin came to join us, and it was us three, like old times Pleased Heart
Old times: Kuantan 1st Edition, Kuantan 2nd Edition, NYE 2005, Barcode Days, Poppy Days, Other Poppy Days, (okay i can’t link them all, there’re too many!)

Wow. I went all nostalgic reading how we used to party. I think now, we party harder and (maybe) a bit smarter? Confused

Guinness

Then Gary called, asking me where’s happening that night cos his old friend was back from London too.
Dude, it’s Monday night la… i don’t know!
Funny thing is, everytime someone wants to party or drink, they’ll call me -_-

So i asked him to join us in Taman Tun.

Guinness

Guinness

Guinness

Guinness

And then -_- i got another call from a slightly drunk someone…
So again, i just went, “Come join us la!”
And he came.

Guinness

AlcoJason tried to make me drink at the same rate as him, one for one.
After three Guinness Draughts on my part, “Jason… i tak larat already okay, you’re drinking too fast plus i’ve cut down my drinking!”
“YEAH RIGHT!” WTF
“Yes i HAVE!” !@#$

Still…

Guinness

I remember all the Guinness promotions they were having earlier this year, like buy one pint, get half free; or buy (i forgot) a certain number of pints, get a lighter free.
Yeah. It’s kinda obvious how much i drink Guinness Draught.

From now till end of December, buy three pints, and get a Guinness towel free.

I think at the rate we go, we can have enough towels to provide a gym. Whatevah
