California Edition Saga

[marc.getty at temple.edu (Marc Getty)]

Total Beverage is by *FAR* the best beer store I've ever been to, and I've been to a lot of beer stores!! It is definbitely worth the trip! I may also stop by that beer place in Boulder you told me about.

-Marc who may spend the value of the Cali Scirocco on beer

Cracks me up that you are making a special stop at my local liquor store...

Bishops Castle is pretty cool...hopefully you get to meet the guy...when I
was there, no one was around.
