RedBull and Vodka. Pre-mixed, sports water bottle. I never get asked
"What's in there?"  I have a friend who works at Rock 96, so will
probably be around their live broadcast booth.

I like alot of the English beers, most German beers (but none of the
imported German beer are any good) The like a lot of American beers,
but the one I like best is from Texas, and it's called Shiner Bock
(pale yellow box, small ram's head logo) BUT! I will drink most
beer(s) be they American, English or German, because if you're
thirsty, then anything will work. 

Never been a big fan of Bud though, sorry. I'll buy you one if I see
you (How hard could it be to miss a drunken group of rednecks swinging
lawnchairs 'round, out of a group of 2500 other drunk rednecks
swinging lawnchairs 'round?)

Nothing from the BBQ Lodge is worth the time or effort.  We had a
meeting there a few years ago, I certainly didn't want to go there but
majority rules, you know? Anyhow, it was dreadful. The bbq was dry,
uninspired, and the sides were very, very bland.  Do you ave any
recommendations for a good BBQ restaurant? I've never been to
Smothfields, but how exciting can a chain restaurant be?

Must choose one, though...
