Awesome beer cellar Al. As with Jim, I am hugely jealous. I put up a Harbor Breeze ceiling fan in the music room today. Much needed cooling is now available and it is pretty damn near silent. And now I'm contemplating making a Rittenhouse Sazerac.

Jinxproof six-pack.

Munsterfest. All kinds of new stuff this week.

Correct. Seen them going out the door.

Tap no. Bombers yes.

This years batch of Behemoth. Michael is a very happy boy.

Region Riot, FFF's new malt liquor. Way better than the Schlitz I drank as a teen.

Luksusowa Bloody Mary.

How are you from a standing start Dinny? Hell, you gotta be better than Mark Webber at that. (sorry, inside F1 joke)

Correct. Bernie wanted too much money up front so Indy lost its F1 slot. Right now, the Austin circuit is pretty much graded dirt. It's another Hermann Tilke design, so it has the potential to be crap, but we'll hope for the best. I think the move to November was an effort to avoid the June heat in Texas as well as giving the circuit plenty of time to get finished. With all that said, it is an F1 race in the US, so it will be an awesome thing.

Calling ironbut..... Calling ironbut......

Button's been proving himself to be quite OK this year. And that comes from a die hard Ferrari fan.

North Shore and Dolin Dry martini. I keep seeing Jim posting drinks with North Shore gin. Now I know why. Thank you for the inspiration my southern Illinois friend.

Done:

Starting the thread to see who is interested in getting together in Austin in November 2012 for the US Grand Prix Formula One race/Head-Case brouhaha. Race interest or enthusiasm is not required, as a Head-Case family get together is an event unto itself. luvdunhill has mentioned he has room for some people to crash at his house. I'll let him chime in with the details. I'm calling dibs on two spots there for Debbie and I. In trade, if he is interested I will buy his race ticket. And if not I'll compensate some other way. So, who's interested?

Look into some of the math involved in F1 engineering and competition and you may just be surprised.

I am dead serious. We can work out the details as we go, but yeah, we can make arrangements for your family. Formula One combined with HC family and the festivities that go along with that? Fuck yeah!

Calendar was ratified today. So which of our HC folks lives near Austin and has floor space for some folks to crash on? If willing, I'll buy your race ticket(s).

Very envious MIke. I'm not a Deadhead for the most part, but I love the original Europe '72 set. Enjoy! Oh, and it looks like the US Grand Prix will be November 18th, 2012 in Austin. I hope to be there.

Rittenhouse 25 Manhattan. It is a very nice evening.

Cheers!! Thanks again to naaman.

Agreed. I will join you with one of those a little bit later.

Looks like a massively good time. Wish I were closer....

A Tanqueray Rangpur and Fever Tree G&T. Finally got some more Fever Tree and life is sunny and good.

Sorry for your loss Ken.
