Talked the owner of my local watering hole into getting Blue Moon on tap. I got the inaugural draft with an orange slice cut right before it hit the glass. Like a boss!

Dear Newcastle Brown Ale,

Thank you for being my favorite beer ever. I’ll carve “Newcastle 4 Eva” in my chest like Marky Mark in Fear.

This is my new fucking jam!!! So fucking good!!

Actual conversation at the hotel bar last night
Dude at bar: Hey man, what is that on your wrist?
Me: Oh, this? (pointing to tattoo)
Dude: Yeah. What is that?
Me: It's the Star Wars Rebel Alliance logo.
Dude: Is that a Star Wars thing?
Me: Yes. Have you seen Star Wars?
Dude: Yeah.
Me: OK. So you know Darth Vader?
Dude: The black guy?
Me: Uhh...yes. OK, so he's on the dark side, the bad side. He's a bad dude.
Dude: OK...
Me: So the good guys in the movies are a part of the Rebel Alliance. This is their logo.
Dude: So why did you get that tattooed on your wrist?
Me: Because I like Star Wars.
Dude: Would a Star Wars person recognize it as something from Star Wars?
Me: (joking) A Star Wars person? Like Han Solo?
Dude: Yeah, I guess. Is that a friend of yours that likes Star Wars?
Me: (to the bartender) Can I go ahead and get my tab?

First night in Dayton and we spent some time in the Hipster Oregon District. Interesting area. Found some excellent beers uncommon to Texas.
