    I could go for some finger lickin' chicken, but looks like i'll have to bow out at 6 PM. No one else needs to bring a Mexican Cake unless you want HUGE pours.

    i think it's settled. l'patron tacos for breakfast/lunch, buy a 3 piece popeye's meal on the way to the share, and eat chicken upon arrival.

    think i've got my bottles locked down, though i may still dig for another one.

    Glad I can finally make one! Unfortunately I won't be able to stay long as watching the Stanley Cup will be a priority. But me and a buddy will stop by until about 6 or so.

    anyone going today: if you have an extra 2-3 bottles of zombie dust you'd be wiling to toss my way (would happily reimburse with either beer or otherwise), it would be much appreciated; i'm participating in an off-site BIF and want to hook someone up but can't make a trip to munster in the next week.

    It was good meeting everyone there tonight! I appreciate all of the generousity, had a great time! Also I was glad the sour gruit I poured went over well. We decided to play it safe and hit the earlier train home instead of the last one.

    ah that was you! it was delicious.

    i should have learned from last time, but getting a cab on montrose is fucking impossible. i walked a good half mile without seeing one and just hopped on the bus when it arrived. next time i'll probably put the number for a cab company in my phone.

    had a great time as always. i was fine while i was still there but once i got on the bus i pretty much blacked out until i made it home. can't tell whether i'm hungover or still buzzed.

    Good times for sure. Many thanks to the hosts and everyone for the generosity. I always have fun opening up the cellar to share beers I never feel like opening by myself.
