Like a sorority girl on Halloween, this month's Best Of is dressed like other editions, only sexier.
Based in League City, Gitters is an extreme hunting mod-shop boasting "If you can dream it, we can build it", and out to push the limits of off-road capability, hunting efficiency, and absurd comfort for a client base that ranges from South TX ranchers to the King of Dubai, even though he should probably be hunting tenants for all those office towers.
From a trio of SF-based Bro-Jacksons with some pretty lofty web-dentials (ESPN, Yardbarker, Digg), Fanvibe's like Foursquare but for sporting events -- you check-in to games in-stadium or on-couch via an iPhone app, then earn mad rewards for making predictions on real-time pop-up polls (will Alex Smith throw a pick this throw or next?) or simply talking trash, though it's not immediately clear why discussions of Courtney Love garner rewards.
Armed with a combo of 11 organic ingredients (from Taurine, to B5, to Vitamin C), this Cherry Creek-born patch "works to prevent a hangover before it starts" (by slapping it on right when you start drinking), with recommended application spots including the tricep and lower back, just in case you need it to work double-duty as a coverup for a previous bender's more lasting consequence.
From a couple Chi dudes tired of the same old beer pong, these waterproof circular cards rest under a cup (to be enacted when said cup is hit), and're split between drinking tasks (e.g., do a social) and actions from extra re-racks to mandatory hook shots -- easy for Kareem, hard for those who're ka-reamed.
Founded by an A&M architecture grad who was working with a high-end Dallas residential firm before going full-time dream job, Linear produces baltic-birch plywood and formica representations of dozens of racetracks around the world -- subtly gorgeous pieces the average viewer would interpret as minimalist art, but enthusiasts will recognize as...someplace in Europe they saw on Speedvision.
