Sorry for the delay in getting back to my brothers about the summit. After dropping Andre we then spent another late night at the Navy ball. After a couple of weeks of late nights, not enough sleep and WAAAAAAAY to much hard alcohol (courtesy of Andre and his OUTSTANDING tastes in potable alcohol) this senior citizen crashed. Can run with the "young punks" I guess. But it was tremendous fun! So I officially declare the second annual Nebraska Thread brothers summit a complete success ! I don't know where I'll be next year , but where ever the fates (and the USN) send Lou and I , we will have another summit next year . (Illinos?Florida? West Virginia?DC?GUAM!!!!![X(][X(][X(][X(]? Who knows!) But we will have another , and welcome one and all! [:)]
Guam sounds like fun for a summit, but I'm afraid it might be limited to you and Lou. [:D]

I include it only because it is the LEAST likey place that we will be sent....well third least. PH and London are the LEAST likely (and MOST desirable for us). Right now it looks like South Eastern Illinois (near St. Louis Mo.--Scott AFB). But we will see. We have ALMOST never wound up at the place we were originally ordered too. [:(]

Evening of the 16th, Steve. We have plenty of sofa room if you don't want to share the guest bed with Torsten. [;)]

Than where? While Seattle has great beer, ALMOST every where I've been generally has some really good LOCAL micro brew. And Seattle is a comparatively recent producer of good beer. Until mid-80's , Seattle beer was Ranier. Basically a "Budwieser knock off", up there with regionals like Falstaff's and "Nasty-ganset". [:D]

To paraphrase the line in Cassablancca, "They are Germans so I gave them the best. They'd take it anyhow". I'd only wind up on the floor. [8|][:D]

Bah! Rainier puts Budweiser AND Pabst to shame for watered down American beer goodness. Only one comparable in taste bud tone deafness is Olympia and Genesee Cream Ale.
The best ales are imports of course. Can't beat a good Irish/UK ale or stout. Germany has the best Lagers. Coming from a place where the selection was Genesee, Schlitz or Rolling Rock....coming to Seattle was like moving to Beer Heaven. [:)] However Elysian Brewing makes some killer beers and Rogue Ales based in Portland but with a micro-Brewery in Seattle makes some of my favorites.
Double Dead-Guy
Double Chocolate Stout
Double Mocha Porter stout.
They also have a good Irish lager.
I'm getting thirsty just typing all this.....

Great!
No promises! [:-] Originally I had planned to make this part of a multi week road trip. Because we weren't certain of the dates, my spouse had to delay asking for leave till we knew the dates. Now she won't be able to get the amount of leave she wanted (or possibly any) so I'd have to fly out and back. Airfare this close to the event is litterly "sky high". So I'll see what I can do. When do you leave Mike's? Maybe I can catch you if I can't make the summit with Andy. [&:]
