Keep Paper Cuts a Secret
RECEIVED Wed., Dec. 5, 2012
Dear Editor,
Regarding the Paper Cuts [Chronicle live music series] fun: Please try not to tell too many people about it because it is too much fun, OK? That aside, it is obvious that a good part of this is to showcase certain beverages, which, by god, it does damn well. What is rather lacking, I think, are reps from whatever is being featured. I would have loved to talked to someone from Deep Eddy about their surprising Sweet Tea Vodka, or a rep from Shiner to ask about what they are up to. God knows, feed me good alkeehol (of whatever form) and I will sing its praises to all and every one. I can do it better with more info than the bartenders can give (they are damn busy, ya know?). Then again (knowing Texas), maybe it is illegal. I'd love to find out. But sssshhhhh!
