Go Have Some Fun!

Look Mom No Chain!

by Robin on November 13, 2008

 

Aside from relaxing excursions along the San Diego downtown waterfront, I am by no means a bike enthusiast. However, technology just melts my butter.   Trek’s District bike does away with the infamous, greasy, old chain and replaces it with a belt drive made out of a carbon fiber composite. It requires no lubrication and doesn’t wear out. 

 

 

The District bike just has that IT factor - that minimalist, Apple-sleek appeal.  I love the old-world, brown leather seat and handlebar paired with an Alpha Black Aluminum frame.  I can see you now, my writer brethren - traipsing the urban jungle, conscious of your carbon footprint, laptop tucked away in a cool messenger bag and slung over your backside…Woosh! Heads turn as you skirt by atop the Trek District bound for your favorite writing spot.  Godspeed. And watch out for that pothole!

MSRP $929.99

Founders’ Set to Attend Temecula Valley Balloon and Wine Festival

by Michelle on June 5, 2008

Well, we are gearing up for the 25th Anniversary of the Temecula Valley Balloon and Wine Festival.  The Festival takes place here in beautiful Temecula, CA this weekend – June 6th through the 8th. 

Come and join us for musical entertainment, wine tasting, hot air balloon shows and rides, a kids fair, arts & crafts, exhibits, and food.  The wine tasting (yes, I know… I already said wine tasting), features premium wines from numerous Temecula Valley wineries, as well as others from Southern California.  LitCentral would love to see you there!

And for those of you who love gadgets as much as we do, even when it comes to wine there’s geek’dm to be had. I  have already reserved the babysitter, and placed my order for the coolest, craziest, most Tim-the-Toolman-Taylor corkscrew I have yet to see -  The Wine Ratchet Magnum! 

Wine Ratchet Magnum

This wine opener operates like a ratchet wrench, and the makers at BuiltyNY say it’s as easy to use as:
1. Ratchet Down
2. Spin the Cork
3. Pull & Pop!
Retail $60. This unique gadget definitely gives the corkscrew a unique twist!
