If you’re looking for the daily updates I’m going to be posting them at TreasuredValley.com from now on. There you’ll find my stuff related to beer and food as well. Unequivocal Notion is going to go back to its political roots, so if you’re one of the new comers but you dig Idaho politics then be sure to stick around here as well.
If you’re interested in the links, booze and grub head on over to TreasuredValley.com and enjoy — I know it’s where I’ll be spending most of my time.
Cheers!
p.s. I’ll probably be keeping this post up top for the rest of the week just to get the message out.

Gonna be a short update today, I’m working on something that I wanted to have ready to go this morning, but obviously it isn’t. A note to the people who got my Friday email: the logo has been changed, but I’m still trying to find a solution for the background. The issue is that I have to design the site for the highest % of user’s resolutions, and 1024×768 or lower is a small % of users, I’m working on some transparency options though, so maybe that’ll help.
If you have any other suggestions feel free to pass ‘em along.

- One tick, two tick, three tick, please no more. One Boise couple says in just two weeks, they’ve pulled almost a dozen ticks from their dogs, and now state health experts are warning, this is the season for the nasty critters.
- Ruby River Steakhouse closes in Boise. Never went, but compare those comments to when a local biz goes belly up, hint, apparently Statesman readers love their chains. Here’s a thought, if you think that Goodwood makes good ribs then you’ve never had good ribs?

- Trey McIntyre Project polishes off premiere. Choreographer Trey McIntyre established his dance company in Boise in 2008. Now, with the “9+1″ art show underway at J Crist Gallery, and the reception it has received so far, it looks like they’re settling into Idaho just fine.

- Boise Foodie Guild: A Drive to Wilder.

Modest Mouse and “Satellite Skin”.
Enjoy yourselves out there but do it safely.
And while you’re standing around drinking beer watching brother Bill flippin’ chuck on the grill talking about your uncle’s crappy golf game and cousin Ruthie’s new mole, make sure you remember why we celebrate Memorial Day.
On a brewy note, I think I’ve definitely settled on Drifter Pale Ale being my go-to summer beer — I mean in case you were wondering, concerned or something. I’m sure that a fair share of them will be consumed this holiday weekend.
I’m hoping the little thingy I’ve been working on will be ready to go come Tuesday, not a huge change per se, but moving in shall we say, a wider direction.
Could the weather get any better? The Gods are certainly smiling on the Treasure Valley this weekend.
Cheers!
Today’s must read:
If you happened to read the Statesman’s May 15 article, “Commuter rail between Boise and Nampa? Not now; maybe never,” please remember the old adage, “You can’t always trust what you read in the paper.”
The people who attended the Urban Land Institute’s conference on May 14 know that the headline should have read, “Commuter rail between Boise and Nampa? The time to start is now.”

Well, if you don’t you should head down to Brick 29 in Nampa, today they are donating 100% of their profits to 3 local charities.
From the Brick 29 website:
MAY 20th——TURN THE TABLES
as we celebrate our second anniversary
All NET SALES will be donated on MAY 20th to celebrate our second anniversary in Nampa. We want to celebrate by TURNING THE TABLES and giving back to this great community. We have identified 3 charities. Each guest will be able to decide which charity will receive the proceeds from their meal. Come celebrate with us!
The 3 charities are:
SALVATION ARMY
TREASURE VALLEY LOVE INC.
NAMPA FIRST CHURCH FOOD BANK
We want to thank everyone in the Treasure Valley who has supported us, especially through these tough times. Thank you!
Great idea from one of the best restaurants in the Treasure Valley.

“Your knife, more than any other piece of equipment in the kitchen, is an extension of the self, an expression of your skills, ability, experience, dreams, and desires. It can also be the most direct and glaring expression of your complete ineptness and uselessness as a cook.”
10 tix to the Mountain Brewers’ Fest in Idaho Falls on June 6th.
Still thinkin’ about going? Brewtopian Beer Market from Boise is considering chartering a bus to take over on the morning of the 6th and coming home later that evening. If you’re interested, you can sign up here (Facebook link). If you’re driving over like we are you can still get some tix at the Downtown Boise Ram, 20 bucks if you get ‘em early, 25 at the gate (not to mention a longer line). You can also buy them online and pick them up at the festival gate.
It really is a good time — this will be our 4th year, its become something that we really look forward to each summer.
Speaking of beer festivals, make sure you clear your calendar for August 8-9th for the first Boise BeerFest at Ann Morrison Park which has definite awesomeness potential. I mean, it’s hard to go wrong when you have Dogfish Head, Stone Brewing and Hair of the Dog pouring beers. Also, don’t forget that New Belgium’s Tour de Fat will be rolling into Ann Morrison on the 22nd of Aug, this will be our first year but from what I’ve heard it’s a blast.
The beer? It’s Franziskaner Hefe-Weisse, a perfect beer for this 90 degree + spring day, went perfect with me almost catching my house on fire. Oh, and it is pretty damn good too.
Today’s must read:
While those of us in the social media community are donning our FreeWyatt T-shirts and trading high-fives at local TweetUps, however, I do have one more take-away I’d like to share at the risk of being a party pooper. Now that we are the media, are we willing to hold ourselves accountable to the same standards with which we’ve judged our traditional media sources? Can we move beyond snarkiness? Can we censor the trolls in our midst when they engage in character assassinations under the cover of anonymity? Can we elevate the subjects of our focus above the merely gratuitous and banal?
Great read on social media in the Valley.
