i saw that Nick Floyd was serving Dark Lord mixed with Stone's Russian Imperial Stout...just saying...when in Rome...

mostly for my own usage/amusement, I'm posting this a) on the off chance that any of you are near enough to The Fickle Peach in N.E. Indiana to attend any of these five days... because i'm going to be there the evening of the 8th reporting my findings w/a friend or two & a drinking group...taking cruddy, lowlight pics etc.... c) just to get the word out about these two bars (see below for The Heorot) in case you ever find yourself passing through... some details of note: the Bell's Jazz Series has never been poured outside of the brewery & select festivals... this is happening the weekend of homecoming & there's also some football going on so hotel rooms are at a premium... despite the crazy list, the Fickle Peach is Muncie's 2nd best bar after the legendary (& close by) Heorot which is tapping a keg of Bell's The Wild One (9/18/2010) which may or may not last that long...they always have beers of note on tap, always...

ceiling mount it...

should be noted that they won't have much & that they've already promised to save some for the DFH crew, so this might be a good booth to hit first!...

i can't make it...haha...three other trips to deal with... BUT...CBS is going to be on tap in Muncie next month...the Fickle Peach is having a 5th anniversary party with 20 rare taps... hopefully i can hit the GABF someday...the brewery up the street from me's sending a contingent...

& don't forget Lost Abbey... Angel's Share Grand Cru, Cable Car 2009, Carnevale, Amorosa, Red Poppy 2010 & Road to Helles...

per DFH: Here is what we're planning to pour - come by our booth to try some of them out. 1) Theobroma 2) Palo Santo Marron 3) Chateau Jiahu 4) Midas Touch 5) Bitches Brew 6) Portamarillo 7) GrainToGlass per Founders: Here's what we'll be pouring at #GABF: Porter, Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS), Devil Dancer, Dirty Bastard, and Centennial IPA try the canadian breakfast...you will likely never get the chance again... new glarus would be a good place to stop...

sierra nevada's gonna have some barrel aged life & limb... if you get the chance, have pooka at the brugge... have a great time:)...i like to take my camelbak to these things filled with fiji...strangely, i've never needed sunscreen at a festival...must be some weird body chemistry at work...

what he said...

Rubicon...

first year won tickets so it was N.W. Vista i believe...one year i think i sat in stand H, but the others were where my season tix were...stand J...i liked sitting there the most as you could see the straight, a lotta turns & the jumbotron:)...i'm disappointed that i never got to try the seats they added in turn 6 or 10...

yep...mainly root for Ferrari & Schumi...i used to go to the U.S.G.P. when it was here...will probably at least try to make it to Austin when they get going...

Go Colts!... watching Monza later...please no spoilers...

the video's actually pretty decent...i just always end up shooting it upside down...

finished Rome...was alright...think Spartacus: Blood & Sand drew me in further, though...trying to watch Pillars of the Earth...not digging it...um...episode of Louie...

if you can't turn out the lights, best blind them...

& a couple for the bedroom...

Mophie juice pack air™ - iPhone 4 rechargeable backup battery case finally shipping...

i'm keen on the replaceable insert idea...but a replaceable covering is cool too...i just don't see any way in which the foam isn't going to decay & leave an ugly, crusty gluey mess...

four bottles of Founders Nemesis 2010, two bombers of FFF Munsterfest, one more bottle of Bell's The Oracle, one bottle of DFH Chicory Stout & two New Belgium glasses...

i got an e-mail from one of their employees...Sankar i believe...a few hours after payment... by the by, their standard ~$22 shipping appears to be fedex two day...

mine showed up yesterday, but i went to a Colts/Bengals preseason game & haven't had much listening time...i have Dark Side playing on a loop until i get home from work... the Gilmore Lite w/DPS didn't seem to be having any trouble, but i want to try my old Portal Panache next... the wood oil & cloth were a nice touch...& the presentation box itself came double boxed...there are a few things i'd like to change about the design, but i'm pretty impressed by the overall package...

ordered june 16th...just got the e-mail & paid today...
