You can buy 1 gallon jugs of Tabasco sauce. It's a lot of hot sauce.

Took long enough. Hope it doesn't suck.

As you might imagine, the /. thread on this news is even nerdier than usual.

Big party, 70 gallons of beer, great music and belly dancers, $15 at the door. Raising funds to help improve the downstairs space for art shows, music, and classes. Since we really won't be making money off a lot of that type activity we're hoping we can foot most of the bill by getting you all really drunk and throwing down with some good performances.

Foolish humans; fearing zombies, robots and terrorists....

Well, Abby, Claire, and I seem to have made it through vet school. Our hooding ceremony is tonight at 8pm, and after that it will officially be official. We are going to be drinking beer tommorow (Thursday) night in celebration at Abby's place (I think everyone knows where that is). I know most folks will be heading down to Sundown in the City to see Seth play, but stop by afterwards. It's BYOB and we will have a grill if you would like to cook something. Last chance to hear us talk/bitch endlessly about our vet school antics. Everyone is required to address us as doctors tommorow. Just kidding, that would be weird.

The beer is good, and I hear the brewers are pretty cool guys...

Sunday 4/29, starting around Noon we're going to have a Brew-Out and fundraiser. We're trying to raise a few bones to cover some nifty new brew equipment. It'll make the beer taste better... I promise!

We'll have standard grilling-out fair (veggie and meat), but if you want to bring a side dish, dessert, ect... we'd be much obliged.

We're asking for a donation from all who attend.. $5-10. I'm pretty sure most you folks have consumed at least $5-10 worth of tasty NHBA brew over the last few years... now is your chance to help out! We may have a raffle to give away six packs of brew, maybe a barley wine or two :)

Party is at NHBA headquarters on Gaston Ave, if you need directions... send me a message or email. I'm not posting directions online to prevent creepy stalker types from show up!

So, I got this jury summons (civil court) a few weeks ago, and this Monday was my first day of service. Since I've actually been staying busy with school related work lately, I was not too thrilled about having to spend any number of days in court only to have to get all my own shit done at night. Then at Monday's juror orientation, I learned that my fellow summoned citizens and I were extremely lucky to have been assigned to a rare one-week session instead of the usual two. Not only that, but the court officer and the judge both dropped some major hints at the week's light case load, mentioning several times that civil cases are often settled before reaching court. Yippee! Could I really be so fortunate? Why yes, I can. I just called the juror info line and found out that I don't have to report tomorrow for my final day of service. Many potential days of mindnumbingly boring civic duty were reduced to two hours of mindnumbingly boring civic duty!

My point, I suppose, is that I am awesome and this is freaking sweet.
