Thanks to Big Beer for getting us in again!


We have 3 weeks to get ready for this.

I seem to remember that we ran out of beads pretty early last year.
So let's start gathering them now.
I bought some at Target last year for a decent price.
If you know of any other places be sure and share with the group.

Get your kilts ready (or at least wear green).
If you need one you can order them here.

I will not be loaning any out this time.

We will be putting a temporary stereo in the Dragon on Sunday the 2nd. That might be a good time to clean out the coolers as well if we can get some people together.
