The beer was a bit flat.

Usually, people get blown away in the beer tent, but this year, it's the other way around. A storm blew down the beer garden tent early this evening. A few people were hurt, and it's not known how bad.

Hey, you're welcome... I'll make more! :burnout

It looks like everyone survived the great beer blowout, although a few are still hurtin' a bit. Everybody pulled together and pulled through it. There will be beer and music tonight.
 
Less than 2 hours and I go home, change and get on the road. Be there later this evening.:clap

Pictures are nice. keep 'em coming.

Thx - decided to not go at the last minute...

Injury Update

Hey Guys-

Allow me to weigh in here. I was working in the beer tent when it went and got a really nice view of a 4x4 pole to the head, forearm, tricep, back, and leg.

Lots of scrapes, bruising and soreness. Some small true wounds. <ul><b>All in all we all got lucky.</b></ul> It could have easily been worse.

I can now highly recommend the Aerostich Touring and Road Rash first aid kits.

I talked with Jerry who got something across the nose and a pretty good gash. He is feeling fine.

I have some cool pictures of my black and blues and scrapes if you want to see them.
 
Ying and Yang ??

Well, before the closing cerimonies I was informed by the Door Prize Co-Chair, Kathy Harmacek that some guy had won an Aerostich suit/gift certificate. Big deal right? It wasn't me!... :dunno

What is unique about this randomly drawn ticket is that the bearer had a brief conversation with her:

She did not know this guy, but he did say "Well, I guess this sorta makes up for this" and promptly showed her his new stitches earned during the storm that attacked the Beer Tent :eek
