Thursday 5.1.2008 - Props to the Fedway Liquor Show at The Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City
- If you have never had the opportunity to attend a Liquor Show, you don't know what your missing. We took the day off from computers and gladly accepted our invitation to the annual AC Show. In case you don't know, Fedway is one of the two big liquor distributors in NJ - these are the guys who make sure all the wine and liquor we love so much shows up at all our favorite bars, clubs and restaurants. We want to pass thanks along to the entire staff of Fedway, the show was excellent as always. All the major players were there - Captain Morgan, Jack, Jager, and on and on. Great displays and samples and one gorgeous model after another. We also want to pass along props to a few brands that took the time to have in depth conversation with NJMAX about working on possible future projects - Bulldog Gin, Jagermester, Zyr Vodka, Liquor 43, Svedka Vodka, Three Olive Vodka, Tommy Bahama Rum, Dooley's, Ty-Ku, Zodiac Vodka, Charity Wines, Pinky Vodka and Voyant. I know we are missing some people, so we apologize if we skipped anyone. These shows are not open to the public like the Atlantic City Beer Festival, so getting invited is a little more difficult, but if you can ever get an invite, we highly suggest you don't miss it.

Saturday 1.4.2008 - Rutgers & Ray Rice have a "BALL" in International Bowl - 52-30
Ray Rice ran over Ball State and through the 2,000-yard barrier, giving Rutgers its second postseason win in the school's 138-year history. The victory capped an up and down season for our beloved Scarlet Knights, but is a sweet way to end the season no matter what. If Ray Rice does run off to the NFL (depending on the website you look at he is projects as a late 1st round - early to mid 2nd round pick) he definitely put an exclamation point our one of the greatest careers in Rutgers history.
