Springtown Roasters Launches Innovative Coffee Soda
SAN MARCOS, TX – September 2023 – Springtown Roasters, a specialty coffee company based in San Marcos, Texas, is excited to announce the launch of its newest beverage creation—Coffee Soda! This innovative drink combines the bold flavors of roasted coffee with the refreshing fizz of carbonation, offering coffee enthusiasts a whole new way to enjoy their brew.
Unlike nitro cold brew, which uses nitrogen, Coffee Soda is made from freshly roasted coffee beans that are brewed and carbonated with CO2. This unique process creates a distinct and consistent flavor profile, with Springtown Roasters regularly testing new roasts to ensure every batch of Coffee Soda meets its high standards.
The drink first debuted at the San Antonio Coffee Festival in 2019, where it became an instant hit among festivalgoers. Since then, Coffee Soda has gained popularity as a refreshing alternative to alcoholic beverages and as a popular mixer at events like the recent Whooping Crane Festival in Port Aransas.
Misha, one of the co-founders of Springtown Roasters, shared the origin of the drink: “It was a pure accident. After a hot day of yard work, I poured ice-cold sparkling water into my coffee, and the idea percolated from there.”
Coffee Soda has quickly become a must-try beverage, and it will be featured at the upcoming Austin Coffee Fest in September. For now, coffee lovers can get their hands on this unique drink by visiting Springtown Roasters’ booth at the Buda Farmer’s Market every Sunday.

Grateful Dead Alum Bob Bralove Releases New Solo CD, Stories in Black and White
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, October 31, 2007 – Bob Bralove, former Grateful Dead MIDI master and creator of the band’s signature “Space” improvisations, steps into the spotlight with his new solo release, Stories in Black and White. This acoustic piano album marks a departure from Bralove’s electronic roots, featuring intimate, improvisational performances recorded on his father’s 1916 Steinway Grand piano.
Having built a reputation for his groundbreaking work with the Grateful Dead and his collaborations as part of the improvisational duo Dose Hermanos, Bralove’s Stories in Black and White showcases his first solo acoustic endeavor. “This album is my first solo exploration on acoustic piano,” Bralove shares. “Each piece was created, performed, and recorded in the moment, with no preconceptions of melody, harmony, or rhythm.”
The album was recorded during a series of intimate dinner parties Bralove hosted at his San Francisco home. Eschewing the precision of a formal studio environment, Bralove invited close friends to listen as he improvised in his living room, capturing both the music and the relaxed ambiance, complete with background sounds of conversation and even the occasional car passing by.
“I wanted to shift the consciousness of the recording sessions by creating a cozy, informal atmosphere,” Bralove recalls. “I would play and record for an hour, then we’d enjoy dinner together, and afterward, I’d return to the piano for more recording.”
Known for his innovative blend of music and technology, Bralove has long been a pioneer in integrating sound and visuals in live performances. Having honed his technical expertise working with Stevie Wonder and the Grateful Dead, Bralove developed a system that allows him to “play” both sound and images simultaneously, a process he refers to as “digital finger-painting.” This unique fusion of music and art has been a hallmark of his recent performances, including solo appearances, duo performances with Dose Hermanos, and collaborations with full orchestras.
“Today’s technology lets me map my visual artwork to the 88 keys of the piano,” Bralove explains. “I’m not just playing music—I’m playing visuals, adding a new dimension to my improvisational performances.”
Listeners can experience this visual-music crossover on Bralove’s website, where he features videos of his performances, including “Cowboy Sunset,” a track from Stories in Black and White. More videos and examples of his “digital finger-painting” can be found at www.bobbralove.com/video.html.
Stories in Black and White is available for purchase on iTunes and CD Baby. For more information about Bob Bralove and his unique artistic endeavors, visit www.bobbralove.com.

Photographers Focus on New Online Platform: Snapixel.com
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, April 14, 2009 – Photographers of all levels now have a new home online with the launch of Snapixel.com. Snapixel is an innovative platform that offers photographers a community and comprehensive tools to upload, organize, license, share, and sell their photos, all in one place.
At Snapixel, photographers can easily build and manage their own online portfolios, uploading their work to showcase and promote through the site. Beyond its utility as a portfolio management tool, Snapixel fosters a thriving online community where users can critique and discuss photography, form interest-based social groups, and share advice with peers. Whether you’re a hobbyist or a seasoned professional, Snapixel connects photographers in a dynamic, collaborative environment.
“Besides loving photography, I take pride in creating and maintaining a service that truly benefits people—a service that photographers are happy to use,” said Florian Cervenka, CTO of Snapixel.
One of the standout features of Snapixel is its Marketplace, where photographers can submit their images to an “Open Stock” category. This provides an opportunity for photographers of all skill levels—whether amateur, traditional stock, or professional—to sell their work. Snapixel offers a more accessible platform for photographers who may not have had the chance to sell their images through larger stock agencies like Getty, Corbis, or microstock sites such as iStockphoto.
“We wanted to create a platform that directly meets the needs of photographers and gives them the ability to monetize their work. The Snapixel Marketplace is designed to help photographers at any level license their photos and generate income,” explained Adam Oliver, Co-Owner of Snapixel.
For creative professionals, Snapixel offers a valuable resource to source fresh, unique photography from an expanding stock photo library. In cases where specific images aren’t available in the existing stock collection, Snapixel allows users to submit custom photo requests. Photographers within the Snapixel community can respond to these requests either with photos from their existing catalog or by creating new, custom images tailored to the project’s needs.
“The concept for Snapixel emerged from the demand for a different kind of stock photography platform. While there are established agencies like Getty, Corbis, and iStockphoto, we identified the need for an alternative that caters to a broader range of photographers,” added Oliver.
