By the way, I have two keys for my STi wheels (one in the car for putting on spares and on in the garage for folks who loose my key for me so I don't get stuck). I sent off for the extra when I get the set.

I dont have quite that much. But over the years I have built a great collection. My wife is a major post whore on Digitally Imported and DJ's send her music all the time. Im not sure if you've heard of Granddaddy DJ. He does a set about every week on there. Him and my wife are friends. We are trying to get him to Dallas to do a show. You should listen to the set Armin does on Thursdays. Very nice!!

I really wouldnt classify my wife and I as raver kids. I lived in Europe for some time and really got into the music then. We really dont go "clubbing" much. If theres a big name DJ coming in we'll be there but thats it really.

I know we had 5 or 6 sets at one point, so that leaves a lot to go, but we never really pushed to find out who else we know that would want some.
Regardless of discount these are the ones I'm getting . . . I just don't trust the standard blanks everyone else is using.

Dan's Vodka Rankings
1) Skyy -- by far the best value vodka out there
2) Ketel One -- less expensive than the big dogs but still a top shelf vodka
3) Belvedere -- maybe the best vodka I've had, but also damn expensive
4) Grey Goose -- really good but also pretty damn expensive
5) the Stoli's and Absolut's of the shelf -- good but not great, and average price.
I haven't tried Level, or any others I haven't mentioned, so no comment.
Oh yeah, there's some potato vodkas that I've tried and liked but can't remember the names.
OK, I'm really bored at work.

^^ I ranked those as ones I drink the most -- which is affected a LOT by how much it costs. For a low-priced vodka, Skyy is my favorite. If I wanna drink something better, I do Ketel One, etc. Skyy isn't a great vodka at all, I just think it's the best of the cheap ones -- and that's what I usually will drink 50% of the time.
