- To be welcome? Show up! That's all. Everybody's welcome, even the
- people we spend so much time flaming. Though some of them get flamed
- for good reason, and in person, too. Doesen't always mean we hate 'em,
- just that we enjoy given' 'em a ration of shit.
- Some of 'em even take it well.
-
- Next one? I don't know if there is anything specific planned. If you
- like, you could set one up yourself - just pick a place and date, I suggest
- between ten days and three weeks in the future, and make a posting.
- Something like:
- Hey, everybody, I'm new here, and I found an interesting
- microbrewery at ____, where I'm planning to be on the
- night of ____ from about ___ until the crowd thins.
- If you think you can make it, please send me a reply,
- so I can ask for enough seats at the table.
-
- That's really all it takes - no approval process, no comittees, just
- initiative.
-
- Not being a beer drinker (no objection, just lost my taste for it) I don't
- know if it's any good, but there's a place that seems to be a microbrewery
- on Winchester across the street from the Toys'r'Us that's just south of
- I280. Others on the net will probably steer you to a few good ones.

- >Have fun,
-
- That's what we do - you're welcome to hop right in, though you might
- be more comfortable to watch for a while first, and that's OK too.
