American Spirit Tobacco @ SXSW
Author: spencer14 Mar
Among the many freebies at the SXSW Austin Convention Center, there’s one stand that towers over the others in terms of importances: free smokes care of American Spirit. Helping singers attain that delightful rasp and writers calm their fried nerves, American Spirit has been lacing up anyone who ventures onto the 2nd floor smoking patio.
They were certainly one of the highlights of my 2006 SXSW podcasts (available for your listening pleasure at Synthesis Radio. Hi Dain! Sweet plug, eh? Balls!), and are continuing to help me through my nights and make me feel like a coal miner in the morning. (I mean that in a good way.) After last night’s chain smoking mania I’ve switched to their Ultra Lights. Hopefully, less phlegm gems that way.
Did You Know: American Spirits don’t have preservatives, so it’s best to keep them in the fridge after you open a pack. I had no idea. Kinda makes sense, but honestly, I don’t see myself crowding my condiments with cigarette packs.
Did You Know: You shouldn’t pack your pack. They come pre-packed, so by tapping the box it’s actually going to make the stick harder to light. Did not know that, but I suck at packing my smokes anyway. They also have 25% more tobacco than other “king sized cigarettes.”
Did You Know: They are the only American cigarette that has “no chemicals,” as they say. (Fishy. Isn’t nicotine technically a chemical? Any chemists out there please set me straight if I’m wrong on this.)
Did You Know: Smoking is still really shitty for you. No way around that. But at least here at SXSW, that cancer is free and they’ll give you two packs if you talk them up, four if you mention that you’re about to blog about them…
Here’s to slow, delicious suicide:

As we all know, the ol’ USA’s days as top dog are numbered. When China ascends to its rightful spot as world leader, I’ll be ready thanks to TryMango.com. It’s a free language learning site. English language speakers can learn Brazilian Portuguese, Greek, German, French and more through a series of lessons that include sound and tips about conversational speech. If you’re smart like me, though, you’ll get cracking on your Mandarin. Ni hao.
Things that are free from the most beloved band on MySpace
Author: Ms. Nickels23 Aug
Synthesis teamed up with Shaolin Temple of BooM, who teamed up with photographer Josh Separdazeh and Amp’d Apparel to give back to their loyal fans (srsly, I’ve never seen anything like this fanbase, they’re total zombies for SToB). Check in with synthesis.net, we’re launching a huge massive fatty badass contest on MONDAY, people.
I heard the lead singer David Alvarez is even giving away his perfectly sculpted lips for a day… Sign me up.
Just teasing, David
