Most definitely, the C0-Captains support the Musical Arts. Traveling abroad and experiencing local musical endeavors and excitements is always at the foremost center of the Co-Captain's research and involvement.
Currently, C0-Captain Minkus highlights the works of Belfast's Glamarama in Northern Ireland!
Spike up your hair, put on your platforms and silver jumpsuit and head down to the Empire every Friday for Glamarama, a night of glamrock. As well as DJs spinning classic glam tunes from The Sweet to Marc Bolan, there are dancing girls and a live glam band.
There is a full bar and fun dancing before the actual show takes place. But, Around 10:30 the Fireworks start and the Go-Go Girl Dancers take the stage and show off their stuff! Then the band begins with the dancers in the back. Music consists of 80's and 90's pop and rock. You can't help but let your body rock and in-vision your hair as long as Steven Tyler's of Aerosmith as you shake it around.
The Husky man in the right picture with the pink shirt was in the ZONE. He walked around with his beer as he intensely played his air guitar. I joined in and for a moment we both shared the power of the rock.
Coca-Cola vs Pepsi Colahas been an ongoing debate through out the world. Coca-Cola was invented in the 19th century by John Pemberton as a patent medicine. Today it is produced in Atlanta, Georgia and sold internationally as a soft drink in over 200 countries. The original formula consisted of two key ingredients:
Coca Leaves- (Cocaine) Pemberton called for five ounces of coca leaf per gallon of syrup, a significant dose; in 1891. Coca-Cola did once contain an estimated nine milligrams of cocaine per glass, but in 1903 it was removed. Coca-Cola still contains coca flavoring. After 1904, instead of using fresh leaves, Coca-Cola started using "spent" leaves—the leftovers of the cocaine-extraction process with cocaine trace levels left over at a molecular level. To this day, Coca-Colauses as an ingredient a cocaine-free coca leaf extract prepared at a Stepan Company plant in Maywood, New Jersey.
Kola Nuts- (Caffeine: Kola was changed to "Cola" with a "C" for marketing purposes) Kola nuts act as a flavoring and the source of caffeine in Coca-Cola. In Britain, for example, the ingredient label states "Flavourings (Including Caffeine)." Kola nuts contain about 2 percent to 3.5 percent caffeine, are of bitter flavor and are commonly used in colasoft drinks. In 1911, the U.S. government initiated United States v. Forty Barrels and Twenty Kegs of Coca-Cola, hoping to force Coca-Cola to remove caffeine from its formula. The case was decided in favor of Coca-Cola. Subsequently, in 1912 the U.S. Pure Food and Drug Act was amended, adding caffeine to the list of "habit-forming" and "deleterious" substances which must be listed on a product's label.
The Pepsi Challenge has been an ongoing marketing promotion run by PepsiCo since 1975. The CO-CAPTAINS have both taken the taste test challenge and both unanimously choose Coca-Cola Classic over the rival Pepsi Cola. This deduction validates our hypothesis that Coca-Cola is superior in Taste, Satisfaction, Style, and has higher cultural value in the rich American heritage.
We, the Co-Captains, have embarked on a campaign to voice our opinions and make the ourselves transparent to the public. For instance, while dining at the California Pizza Kitchen, the waitress asked one of the Co-Captian was ask what he would like to drink. When he asked for a Coke, the waitress replied, "We have Pepsi. Is that alright?" Without hesitation, the Co-captain politely responded with a "No thank you. A water will do fine."
Whether you prefer Coke of Pepsi for flavor, there is no dispute over who has the better Commercials!

Music Spotlight
Hall & Oates
Genre: Fusion of Rock n' Roll with a little R&B
Their greatest fame occurred during the 1970s and mid 1980s. Daryl Hall and John Oates were a great pop-duo that critics Stephen Thomas Erlewine & J. Scott McClintock described, "at their best, [Hall & Oates'] songs were filled with strong hooks and melodies that adhered to soul traditions without being a slave to them by incorporating elements of new wave and hard rock."
Life is full of obstacles. Sometimes, Fun must be put aside, and business must be attended to. Sacrifice or Investment, which ever way one looks at it, making a smart decision can lead to joy in the future.
