Mar-22-2010 By ErikBoles

SxSW has an official video channel on Youtube, however, they only grabbed snippets of different tracks.  A Youtube user,  knowledgeandmileage, got the entire thing and broke it into 7 video’s total.  These video’s are embedded below.

NOTE: in Part 3, at about 4:00 in, Gary references a friend named Erik and his beer blog.  That friend is me, and that beer blog is our internet television show on beer: BeerTapTV.com.

The Real Problem with Newspapers

Sep-4-2009 By ErikBoles

Industry pundits everywhere have these long, drawn out ideas as to what has happened to newspapers, what will fix newspapers and what the next move is for newspapers. Erik offers a little different, and much simpler, approach.

My friend Eli Shayotovich and I were driving back from Daveco Liquors today after buying a TON of beer for future episodes of Beer Tap TV with friend Chipper Dave when we noticed people parked on both North and South bound sides of I-25, all of them looking East.  As we looked East we saw a small funnel cloud in the sky…further inspection revealed it had actually touched down and was tearing it up!!

This video made it to KRDO News 13 in Colorado Springs thanks to our friends Nina Sparano and Matt Meister and was on the 6:00 and 10:00 news.  Here is the video that we took.  CAREFUL, I drop a few expletives on the video, it was awesome!!
