Upcycled Suitcase Liquor Cabinet

This may seem like fimiliar territory, butI have created another liquor cabinet suitcase. This one has a way better story. I found it at the Brooklyn Flea in early January. After buying it for 25 bucks from a very nice man named Lionell, I took it home and started to plan it out. The major differences include, a hiding spot for a 6oz steel flask, and a cherry oak stain. The hinge on the side swings out a bit to reveal extra lables and a bottle opener.

I’ve created an etsy account and the listing can be found HERE. I’m trying to recoup the cost of parts and labor, not much more. I had a blast covering my room in sawdust to get this thing looking so nice. All I can hope is that someone actually wants to buy it. An entire photoset can be found HERE, and features various photos throughout construction.

2010 DC Trip

Over the weekend I took a lovely trip to Washington DC with some of my favorite people in the world. There are so many great pictures from the trip and I can’t extend enough thanks to Lewis, Chuck, and Nicole for taking us in and showing us around. I had a blast, and was able to catch up with both Graber and Libby Casey. It was just the kind of break I needed from life.

You can find the full set HERE.

Once again, the full set is HERE.

After watching Fox News for 8 hours a day for over 2 years, this speaks truer than ever.

Subway Hero – FNR Edition

As someone who it is safe to say has a very intimate knowledge (short of seeing it happen) I was able to report on this story for Fox News Radio! I collected sound and advised an anchor before a newscast. The cherry on top was my first wrap being pushed out to stations. Some of you may remember my earlier stint as a reporter, but this time, I produced my own package, submitted a script and had it approved by the head honcho Mitch Davis. Below is the audio from Dave Anthony’s 8am newscast, and my wrap.

While I am very proud of this, it was a little embarrassing when Mitch said my piece was approved and I gave him a high-five without realizing it.

Lance McGraw – Subway Hero

Words cannot accurately describe how awesome I think this kid is. I won’t bore you with gushing remarks about how awesome I think my friend and roommate is, I’ll let his actions speak for themselves. Lance saved a girl named Rosie’s life last week at our local subway station, and I told the media about it (hey, I do work for Fox News, duh). I’ll update this as more places do stories.
