29th Birthday Party @ Studio Square
A mere four days after my actual birthday, a bunch of my friends came out to celebrate at Studio Square.
Fun in Baltimore
In July 2004, I went with a couple of friends on a trip to Baltimore for Otakon.
Hunka-Hunka Burnin’ Beer-B-Q 5, Part 3
We’ve got the grill started at Hunka Hunka but there’s still a few minutes before we can start grilling so we’re all just hanging out by the pool.
Hunka-Hunka Burnin’ Beer-B-Q 5, Part 1
Every year, a bunch of guys who went to Binghamton University together get together and throw a massive party. The first year, in 2003, was hosted by Jeremy and Justin in the Syracuse region. The following two gatherings, now hosted by Aaron and Jeremy, took place in Fahnestock State Park in Carmel. In 2007, the party moved to Applewood Estates and it was the best one yet. No longer restrained by having to grill in a public park, far away from any base of operations, we were able to take on a more ambitious offering of food. The trend continued this past summer at the fifth Hunka Hunka, our second and final bash at Applewood.
Aaron, Jeremy, and Justin work on getting the keg of Festina Peche up and running.
American Craft Beer Fest
In order to bring craft beer to the masses, Beer Advocate held the American Craft Beer Fest at the Seaport World Trade Center. With the move from the much smaller Cyclorama came a larger crowd – from the old limit of 1,200 to up to 5,000 people at each session. The result was a lot more beer being served but a lot more douchebags showing up to get their drink on with little regard to appreciating beer – in effect, not respecting beer as the Alström brothers would want us all to do. Stupidity aside, we managed to have a good time, sampling the beers the brewers presented. I’ll look forward to their return to the Cyclorama for the Belgian Beer Fest in September.
Aaron’s Birthday BBQ
Aaron turned 28 this year and he wanted to celebrate by having a barbecue at Applewood. Who were we to say no?
Rachael and Lucy’s Birthday Bash
This past Saturday, Rachael and Lucy held a very belated party to celebrate their birthdays at Fontana’s.
