Here Comes the Pun - Why nobody can understand the economics of air travel

I'm Chris. I live in Brooklyn. I like craft beer, geography, travel, hiking, biking, news media, and a lot of random things that are mostly of little or no consequence.

To get by, I work in advertising. I also host craft beer tastings.

I write about Rhode Island a lot, too, because I grew up there.

Elsewhere:
I have a blog about craft beer and homebrewing in New York City. I also have a less-often updated blog about transportation policy.

For those looking for other means of getting to know me, there's my original blog, my personal Twitter, my beer Twitter, Facebook, or e-mail at brewyorknewyork (at) gmail dot com.
