Rainwater on Tap: Food, Beer, Dancing & Rainwater Cocktails

Nov 2, 20231 min read

You’ve got your Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and then Cyber Monday, but you can’t forget about Giving Tuesday (the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving).

This year, at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, November 28, Watershed Management Group (WMG) is gettin’ the party started with a one-of-a-kind Rainwater on Tap Happy Hour on Giving Tuesday. The gathering will feature drinks made with Tucson rainwater, locally captured and filtered!

WMG band favorite, Santa Pachita, will be heating up the night by playing Latin-fusion music inspired by salsa, cumbia, ska, and reggae.

More about Matt

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.

“Running this kitchen has been a labor of love, but the numbers just aren’t adding up anymore, and as parents, we have to make the hard choice to step back and take care of what matters most at home.”
