10 Questions - Jody Temple

Hmm how should I start this one.  Jody Temple aka Fat Joe aka Joe Ski Love aka Q-Change is probably no...he is the hardest of hardcore riders left in the states.  I meet JT around 2000, there was a BS contest in ATL and a big jam sesh in Athens that weekend.  Let me say that weekend was like crazy, everybody was killing it, but it was JT who I was watching, I was so blown away by his switches.  By 02 I finally made my move to Athens Ga, by that time JT was killing it.  I often speak of him as my white twin brother from another mother, his born day is one day after mine, both of our mothers are school teachers, and our love for Jamesons, and large breast.
I  don't want to bore you with my intimate tales of one of my homies, cuz I might start tearing, miss that dude.  So lets get this ish started.

10 Questions - Dane Beardsley

boost in the garden

I sat down with Dane Beardsley last weekend at OneLoveJam2013 and told him I got 10 questions for him.  Just check out what's good with Dane on the fine art of bartending and stock tips.

1. Name, age, location, and sponsor?

3.  Favorite destination?

     Anywhere.

4. Hot sauce on everything?

    Not on my ice cream.

5. Kale or spinach?

6.  What company should I buy stocks in?

 Right now I'm selling, but you might want to look into SLV.  Look for a high dividend (yield %)     stock if your looking to buy right now cause the market is kind of high.  Don't expect instant profits and try and avoid owning a stock for less then one year.

7. What vegetable grows the best in your garden?

Greens such as kale and lettuces grow good in the spring. Tomatoes grow ok in the summer.

8. How do you make a margarita?

Fill a short glass with ice then add a 3 count of tequila and a 2 count of triple sec. Next squeeze some fresh lime juice and add simple syrup until the glass is full. Mix everything together or shake if possible. Or go to a Mexican restaurant.

9. You and the Duke are doing shows where?

Maybe the Alaskan bush in February, but no official word yet.  Hope it works out.
