I gave you the names and the timeline and important dates that will determine the future of the Empire.

Introductions will require you to make the effort to be present when opportunity walks in the door. A line is already forming to greet.

It's your move.

If I end up buying land to develop on the 160 or 285 corridors, will I still be considered part of the Empire?

You are an official member of the AV Club now, and you have a key to the Spud Lounge. Those benefits transfer to anywhere within the valley. We should find you a location closer to the clubhouse though, especially now that the police are watching you.

Some things:

- rye prevents erosion
- the empire is the largest high-elevation desert in North America
- the flavor we usually associate with rye is actually added caraway seeds
- folks still don’t know the difference between elevation and altitude
- rye also doesn’t need as much water compared to other crops

Sarah Jones is good people. She came to Solstice to speak and show a documentary once. Kelly Whitaker is an interesting guy and a great chef. He cooked dinner for us one night in an horno. The bread he cooks with the rye is really good.

There is a distillery in the SLV that makes vodka with potatoes. They built it in an abandoned school.

Solstice 5 is June 20-21, 2025.

We are getting the band back together.

...Denver-based distillery The Family Jones — no relation to Jones Farms Organics — believes that the San Luis Valley’s climate “lends a unique terroir* to the whiskey,” said Lead Distiller Jamie Burns....



*Terroir (pronounced ter-wahr) is a French term that originally described the unique conditions of a specific region – the soil, climate, and topography – that give wine its distinctive character. However, it's not just about wine anymore. Terroir has become a buzzword in the global artisan food and beverage industry.
