List of things I haven't posted:
What's more fun than Vegas? A trade show in Vegas! No brewpubs were visited, unless you count the corporate Hofbrau Haus... which was excellent! Vegas is certainly a place to be seen to be believed, some of what I expected and a some not so much. Luckily I only left four dollars down... although I bet four dollars. Here is a video of me starting to lose one of them,the machine didn't want me to bet:
Joe, Slim, Iggy. He was a man of many things. He was a resourceful youth in the depression. He was a talented basketball player in the sport's infancy. He joined the fight in Europe. He was a devoted husband, father of two sons, grandfather of four and great-grandfather. He served the public as a police officer and detective until his retirement. But most importantly to me he was Dzia Dzia... a man that took time for me and my family throughout the time I knew him. A man that to this day made the best secret recipe pancakes in the world. I may never know what the secret recipe was, but I got to know the man and that's makes it all great by me.
What a fun event. The MINIs took a drive from Milwaukee to Burlington where we met some Chicago MINIs and then down the backroads to Lake Geneva. Hoo-wee, there were some fun curves! Luckily the snow held off for the drive. We then filled up the parking lot with MINIs at Houlihan’s of Lake Geneva for a great lunch there was a raffle for the Amercian Cancer Society in honor of Tom (MiniShagz). They've raised a lot of money so far, and Tom has been doing great! Looking for to the first Ice Cream social and as many MINI events as we can get to. Hopefully there will be a few light mods to the MINI this summer... stay tuned (heh) for that!
Another great time at the Ale House! Beer reviews to come soon. MINI club members were there as well as our friends Glenn and Bethany. And of course ran into many friends from the beer world as well. for anyone attending this next year, ask for a small pour! I know it's counter-intuitive, but trust me... a small-pour!
