March Madness Meeting -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well Folks, It's about 2:30am and I'm just heading off to bed after a great meeting and brewing session. The Trubmeister's Partial Red Ale I was brewing went very smoothly and is now sitting coolly and comfortably at 64 degrees in my fermentation fridge. I want to thank the "Other George" for helping me brew and keeping me company while I brewed away - being somewhat isolated in the kitchen while brewing, as I was. Moreover, I want to thank everyone very much for coming! Sarah and I had a GREAT time!!! :-) Thanks to everyone who brought food, beer, wine, and kegs-O-beer! In particular, Kim's fruit tray was OUT OF THIS WORLD and Betty's (although I heard tell that Brian made them) Magic Bars were, well, magical in my mouth (more on that another time perhaps)! The homemade habanera salsa was awesome, and the all the beers were great except for a certain A&W Porter, but maybe I'm biased. ;-) (Just kidding Betty!) For those of you who missed it (most notably STEVE & MJ) you all suck and it serves you right missing such fine food, drink and company! ;-) Thanks again Trubmeister's for a great evening. You guys made hosting a meeting very fun and easy - something Sarah and I will look forward to doing again! :-) Tom & Sarah -------------------------------------------------------------------------- YEAH! An extra thanks to the new "scribe". ;-) All I remember from last night is that there were a couple of jokes told and it was about 5 minutes later when I finally got them and started laughing. :-D Tell Sarah we appreciate her letting us hang out in your home. It was a great place with a LOT of things on the walls to use as conversation starting points. Thanks, Jeff Kane -------------------------------------------------------------------------- IT'S BEEN 12 HOURS NOW....[2:30 PM] YOU SHOULD BE UP BY NOW. I SURE COULD GO FOR SOME OF THAT "SMOKED" GRAIN BEER RIGHT ABOUT NOW.... FANTASTIC. [IT'S BEEN A TYPICAL END OF WEEK PUSH HERE AT WORK] THANKS FOR TEACHING AS YOU WERE BREWING, I LEARNED A LOT. AND THANKS AGAIN FOR HAVING US. THE OTHER GEO. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I had a great time also. I really enjoyed seeing the "RAT" and teaching George the parrot new swear words! Thanks again. The President of Vice, George P.S. Betty, I'm sorry about my Jewish fetish ;) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks Tom and Sarah! We had lots of fun and I love your parrot George. He has a great personality. The sandwiches were really good too. It also was fun watching you brew with that newfangled heater. Betty The President of Mischief p.s. George you are forgiven. :-P --------------------------------------------------------------------------
