I realize there's a big obnoxious link at the top of the page pointing out that the first APCB Beer and Bocce Festival will be this Saturday (July 9), 4 PM, at Hans' Village Bier and Vino Haus on Quenby, but then, we're all about mindless repetition here. Directions are available on the web site.
Jackie and Paul have graciiously consented to offer $1 Lone Stars and $2 Shiner Bocks for your consumption. As their menu indicates, however, they have a pretty wide selection for you beer highbrows.
Will it be hot? Oh, indeed. Texas bocce is not a sport for the weak, but the faint-hearted among you can repair to Hans' cool interior in order to engage in drunken self-loathing.
Hope to see you there. And if you're looking to kick my ass for some reason, I'm the 6'4" guy with glasses. Be gentle.
Meanwhile, to further confound pie-wielding Pete-assassins, I will be wearing my lifts and my hornrims. They'll have to beat up all of us! Sadly I'm not an exact match as I lack Pete's grizzled, hoary appearance, but if I can swing a hangover I'll be right in there.
I'm already wilting at the thought of Houston heat at 4 in the afternoon...but the opportunity to meet Pete is too great! I'll just throw my undies in the freezer now, to prepare.
It's important to note that Pete will not be the ONLY 6'4" bespectacled gent on the premises.
Note: I said "6'4" with glasses" to throw off my enemies. As said description applies to you as well as TTTWLAM.
It's cute that you think I'm that tall, though.

My presence alone is usually enough to render most women frigid, but I respect your initiative.
If anyone less than 3 feet tall steals your bocce ball mid-game, consider yourself introduced to SWSNBN
I'm going to be wandering aimlessly around the pub with no clue who anyone is, I can just see it now.
I'm only 6'3.5", and I no longer have glasses, but I will also show up to add to the pool of Pete-doubles.
sure do wish we could make it, pete, but flippy's imminent arrival precludes travel to houston. poo. perhaps other beer-drinking + schmoozing opportunities await us down the road.
have fun!

Well, I didn't want to be the one to shatter your illusions.
We're back after a lovely week in Portland where (unlike Denver a couple of weeks ago) the weather was actually......

I went to Pete's gathering at Hans'Bier Haus yesterday. Pretty fun. Random thoughts: 1) Nearly every guy has facial hair, glad I regrew my goatee. 2) Pete does indeed have a beautiful wife and a lovely daughter. Unless they were......
