The home of Cormac Brown. As well as an irreverent look at writing, screenwriting, food, and City life. But that's not all, I'm also a purveyor of apparel and housewares for the aspiring and inspired writer www.cafepress.com/writeprocrast

"Cormac Brown" is my pen name. I'm an up-and-slumming writer in the city of Saint Francis, and I'm following in the footsteps of Hammett...minus the TB and working for the Pinkerton Agency. I've had stories posted on Flashing In the Gutters, Powder Burn Flash, Six Sentences, Astonishing Adventures Magazine, Crooked Magazine, Needle Magazine, Dark Valentine Magazine, and Beat To A Pulp.

Ah, the Mai Tai. I read an article last spring whilst in the land of Mai Tais which opined that it should be one's mission to try out this tasty bevvie wherever one goes; research, of course,to find the gold standard.
So I did.
Mission accomplished.
BTW - who can't love Tiki??
Wow, that looks good!
I, too, miss Trader Vic's. The one in the basement of the Palmer Hilton closed here about 2 or 3 years ago. We visited the new Trader Vic's in Las Vegas and it was a crashing disappointment--just another bland, expensive Las Vegas lounge with only the barest suggestion of anything tiki about it.
Baroness,
It certainly is potable that is the gold standard for generating a warm glow, so that way one would bring a happy aura to wherever one went.
Bubs,
When I looked at the Trader's Wiki-page, I didn't realize how spread out they were. I knew about the London branch obviously from "Werewolves Of London" and Emeryville, California (where Pixar is), but not the others.
You would've loved the second San Francisco incarnation on Cosmo Place. The tiki idols, the plants and not only did the mix a mean Mai Tai or a Scorpion, but the food was pretty damn good...or I was so lit that I didn't care, as The Missus contends.
That is tits, child, and so bubbsie.
Katie-lah,
That's the first thing I thought when I read about F.I. in 7 X 7 Magazine.
Mai Tai ... that totally reminds of Milton from Office Space.
Neutron,
I don't remember, was that him at the end with the embezzled funds? All I remember about Milton was his hilarious mumbling, the progressive moving of his desk and the red stapler.
Milton was the guy who burned the place down. At the end, he's on a beach somewhere mumbling about wanting a mai tai instead of a pina colada ...
"Milton was the guy who burned the place down."
Now I remember that little Deus Ex Machina...
"At the end, he's on a beach somewhere mumbling about wanting a mai tai instead of a pina colada ..."
I forgot about that part.
