    Vintage Bar Books and Must-Have Cocktail Books

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I'm working my way through the Jeeves and Wooster box set I received for a Christmas gift. Although I've seen them all before the shows are just as good the second time around.

    You Look It, But Do You Act It?

    I suppose I do, with tongue firmly planted in cheek. After all dressing and acting like you just walked off the set of a movie circa 1936 has to be done with at least a dash of humor if one is to keep from going a bit mad. :)

    What makes you feel vintage?

    What makes you feel vintage? Being on the trail in a wilderness area with pre 1950 gear and clothing. Dressing to the nines and wandering through the streets of San Francisco, stopping at various watering holes for liquid refreshment. Pounding the keys of my 1941 Royal typewriter...

    Who is She?

    It might be 'The Lady from Shanghai' (1948). It's the only movie I recall seeing Rita with blonde hair but I certainly haven't seen them all.

    What writer would you be?

    Since reading about him in the book 'Dharma Bums', by Jack Kerouac (my favorite book) I've felt a certain kinship to the Beat poet Gary Snyder. Perhaps a combination of Kerouac and Snyder would be my ideal choice.

    Vintage Camping Equipment

    I wear Arrow moccasins. I've got two pair, the Ligonier and the Center Seam. They've held up rather well over the years, the only problem being they don't come in half sizes, but nothing that a pair of thick wool socks wont solve. http://www.arrowmoc.com/
