Beer run

Nothing spoils a good Fourth more than running low on liberty libations.

Fortunately, thirsty celebrants need no longer interrupt the pyrotechnics display to make a beer run. Keep the good times rolling with the LiquorLimo (currently available at Star Liquors), which will bring frosty adult beverages right to your front door, patio or back yard gathering.

Users (of legal drinking age, of course) need only download the free LiquorLimo app to their smart phone for unfettered access to a world of delicious drinks. Best of all – delivery is free (*with minimum order, typically $25) and user need not even tip, according to a press release from the Denver-based company. (Although we would hope the good people of Durango would be above stiffing their delivery driver, especially those working on a holiday.)

Touted as the first app to provide liquor delivery in Colorado, LiquorLimo also offers a world of boozy treats at your fingertips, allowing users to compare thousands of wines, beers and spirits.

“Our proprietary ‘Replica Recomm-   endation Engine’ enables users to explore vast retailer inventories and discover new beverages based on the chemical fingerprint of their current likes and dislikes,” Kevin Byrne, Liquor Limo® COO, said. 

All payments are remitted to the store directly via the app, using the customer’s securely stored payment information.

Obviously, valid photo ID is required upon delivery and drivers have been well-trained in their TIPs course. In other words, if you’ve exercised a little too much freedom around the backyard cooler, might be better to call the tipsy taxi. 

KSUT on the little screen

The story of Native American public radio’s cultural role will finally be told (or shown, for that matter).

Thanks to a $15,000 grant from Vision Maker Media, KSUT will soon start production on a film about the history of Native American public radio.

“The Vision Maker grant is an exciting opportunity to share the history of tribal radio stations through the public television forum,” said KSUT manager Sheila Nanaeto.

Also on the KSUT front, the Telegraph’s own “Top Shelf” author Chris Aaland has been promoted from membership manager to development director. 

“This is a dream come true. The music and news programming at KSUT has been the soundtrack to my life in the Four Corners for more than 25 years,” said Aaland. When not pounding the pavement, he’s spinning Americana, bluegrass, blues and rock during his show “Tales of the New West” from 7-9 p.m. Wednesdays and covering the Music Blend from 1-4 p.m. Fridays.
