The Olmos Pharmacy is Back!

That's Right! And I am wicked happy and lucky to be working with Rod Campbell, Carlos Padilla and Stefan Shambora, some really cool, dedicated folks on the rebirth and rebranding of the classic Olmos Pharmacy Diner and Pub here in San Antonio.

Awesome Angus Beef Bacon Cheeseburger complete with a side salad with bleu cheese and an icey cold pint of Lucky Ol' Sun; a Belgian Strong Pale Ale style beer brewed by San Antonio's own Ranger Creek Brewing. 

Classic Shakes & Malts since 1944. Real deal, old school soda fountain drinks and now featuring 10 Rotating Taps of great, locally crafted IPA's, Ales and Cider!

Breakfast served until 3:00 PM!

We're working hard on the big Grand Re-Opening scheduled for early 2014 in celebration of the 70th Anniversary of the world famous Olmos Pharmacy.

Just a few things in progress: A San Antonio/Pharmacy centric Timeline Wall Mural that will include the Mayors of San Antonio, price of shakes, burgers, milk, gas, mortgage and beer. 

And starting soon... Show up at the Olmos Pharmacy on your birthday and enjoy anything on the menu at prices from the year you were born!

Mucho mas forthcoming... Stay Tuned!

Repost: Real or Fake App

It's been just over 2 years since I shared the first of a handful of Apps I've been working on with my team at CreekFrog, available, of course, at the iTunes Store!

Dig the ultimate party ice breaker:: Real or Fake? Truth Detective!

Hawaii 5-0 - Genius or Lame? The truth - Genius!


Customize your test and share the truth!

Here's an excerpt from the official press release:

"To create a unique visual experience for “Real or Fake? Truth Detective,” CreekFrog collaborated with artist H. Michael Karshis, whose iconic iPod speaker art has been featured in Leander Kahney's Cult of iPod book."

I designed and created the industrial front-end look and feel along with streamlining the original concept.

Totally customizable, Real or Fake is really a sweet little social/party App that truly gets better the more you play and share. It's truly the perfect ice breaker!

Beatles or Stones?



Boxers or Briefs, Natural or Bottled, you get the idea - check it out, have fun and remember: Nothing Is Real Until It Is Shared!

Man, I relly love DropBox. And it really wasn't until I read this totally helpful, comprehensive and well researched piece by Jarel Remick from Web AppStorm that I realized just how powerful this free service can be.

KSYM Pledge Drive 2011 - It's On!

It's Pledge Drive 2011 at KSYM! The above are this years t-shirt designs I did as premium offerings for a pledge of $25 or more to the mighty KSYM, 90.1 FM here in San Antonio.

The top shirt is for my Beatle loving freak and friend Richard Turner. Richard is celebrating the 25h Anniversary of his awesome Best Of The Beatles Show that's been on the air every Sunday morning from 9-12 since 1986! Congratulations Richard!


And as if his on air tribute to the Fab Four isn't enough - check out Richard's guitar store in Olmos Park, Redbone Guitar Boutique! He's created a replica of the Cavern Club within the store complete with tons of authentic Beatles memorabilia, swag and of course there are some wicked nice guitars, amps and other gear for sale, including both right and left-handed guitars like Hofner, Vox, Eastman, Duesenberg, Collings, and Gretsch, just to name a few! Do your self a favor and check it out!

The second shirt is for one of my beer drinking, music loving buds, Sir Bobby J and his Mainstream 120 Show. It's San Antonio's only all vinyl Jazz Show and you can check it out every Saturday Morning from 9-11.

Now, if only the folks that maintain the KSYM website were as dedicated, creative and imaginative as the DJ's.... Oh well, good thing it's all about the music! VIVA KSYM!
