My #1 Brewery memory is the first time I went there - to see the
Melvins, sometime in fall of 1994. I conned Bo into driving me all the
way to Raleigh. Then, before the show, he tells me that he's tired,
and that he's "just going to go sleep in the car." Which he did. The
show was incredible, although the soundman sent a security goon to
confiscate my tiny little 110 camera. I got it back at the end of the
show.

Years later I found out that "I'm just going to go sleep in the car"
is Bo-speak for "I'm going tranny chasing," but I was young and naive
at the time.
