Blogger Bash Retrospective

All in all, we had a blast. Greenman, Matt, Jeff and Don, John Deeth, Mike, Nicholas Johnson and his wife Mary, TanMan, Homercles, and I proved a few things:

It is a small world, after all.

Iowa bloggers may be good at pool, only not when playing teams in Iowa City. We're dangerous. We break stuff and threaten people with the pieces. I still say I hadn't had enough to drink to shoot straight. Dammit.

We also have way better taste in music than the idiots who co-opted the juke box.

A party at an HIV center is not the best place to meet guys. But you do get fun toys.

The Old Capitol Brew Works brews some awesome beer, people. We can recommend the following:

HARVEST MOON BELGIAN WIT
A Belgian wheat beer brewed with curacao orange peel and coriander seeds. Truly Refreshing!

PUBLIC HOUSE PALE ALE
This American Pale Ale is very aromatic, using centennial hops. It has an outstanding hop aroma and flavor, dry and appetizing.

CELTIC CROSS RED ALE
An Irish Red Ale that has a toffee like caramel aroma and flavor balanced by a spicy sterling hop finish.

The nachos are good, the chips that came with Greenman's sandwich were addictive, and a good time was had by all. I didn't take out the digital camera this time around because the anonybloggers actually outnumbered those of us who've outed ourselves, so no secrets to reveal here. Okay, maybe a few, but don't ask me about the party-in-a-bag. My lips are sealed.
