Fade to Day

7:20 PM September 12, 2006

Beerfest was tons of fun. I had a lot of beer and managed to space it out throughout the day enough so that I wasn't sick when I got home, at least not from being drunk. Having a whole pizza, a bunch of chips, a cigar and 20-odd beer did however make my stomach a bit upset later that night. But it was well worth it.

I think there were a few thousand people there, but it wasn't so crowded to be annoying. The initial line for tokens was fairly large, but it always is. The actual beer lines were short enough that you wouldn't finish your last beer before being at the front of the line for your next. The weather started off cloudy but turned bright and sunny fairly quickly. I had no complaints.

Best of all, I got served beer by the rock-paper-scissors Regional Champion: good old Graham Scott. It's pretty funny that he won such a weird competition - he himself said it was the most random thing ever. He was serving us beer in his Regional Champion jacket, and told us about how he gets a free trip to Toronto for the Nationals, and spending money. Listening to that story with many-a-beer in me was probably the funniest part of my day.

I had a long day at work today, only just getting home now. I'm currently just relaxing, sipping on some wine, listening to some jazz by Chris Botti and contemplating what to make for dinner. I've got some work to do for my side contract job tonight, but right now I'm just enjoying some good music and watching the sun set.
