If this wasn't the highlight of the month, then its at least tied for the title. Its Stone, so the beer was obviously spectacular; nice and strong, right up my alley. I brought back a 2L growler of some Barley Wine style Ale. Sooo good. The Mac n' Cheese I got at the bistro was really good too. The brewery tour was sweet, and the only "cost" was time. Chris and I got there a little before 3 and had to spend the hour in the gift shop to score the limited tickets they distributed at 4 for the 6 o'clock tour. The food, beer and souvenirs did cost me around $60 total, but it was pretty well worth it, and definitely worth going back (if for nothing else then to fill the growler).Afterwards I picked up Lah for some jamming and hanging out. Then around 10 Chris rolls on over with Gran Turino and Slum Dig Millionaire. Gran Turino was such a great movie. I don't know if Clint Eastwood being a super racist and abrasive was intentionally supposed to be hilarious, but it was. I missed the beginning of Slum Dog Millionaire, and by the time I got home I was done for. I may have lasted 20 minutes before sleeping through the rest. Whatev, hopefully i'll catch the whole thing soon enough.
On an unrelated note, my desktop comp has been down for a week and a half after catching some gnarly malware. It was brutal enough for me to go ahead and try reinstalling Windows, but in the process something happened to my HD's driver and the installer won't recognize a SATA drive. AND I seemed to have lost the HD's driver CD. I can just download it, but i've been busy/lazy. I'll get to it this week though...I got some schoolwork to get started and recording i'd like to do.
