the 6-pack is back
No, not mine, but the World's Largest 6-pack, located in downtown LaCrosse, Wisconsin. Instead of painting the krausening (fermentation) towers, this time they've wrapped the 6-story tall towers in vynil wraps colored to make them look like the giant 6-pack of old. I took pictures, and I promise to develop them upon my return. I also got shots of the infamous statue of King Cambrinus, i.e. the original "King of Beers," the patron saint of beer.
Hans Tolvstad: male human cleric 8 of Cambrinus; Medium humanoid; HD 8d8; hp 61; Init +4; Spd 30 ft.; AC 18; AL LG; SV Fort +16, Ref +10, Will +13; Str 17, Dex 19, Con 11, Int 10, Wis 15, Cha 14. Height 5 ft. 7 in., weight 250 lbs., 34 years old.

Cleric Spells Prepared (6/6/6/4/4/3; save DC 12 + spell level)
*Domain spells. Deity: Cambrinus. Domains: hearth (cast heroes feast 1/day), strength (bulls's strength 1/day)
FOCUS! I had coffee and some vegetarian chili at what appears to be a great lesbian enclave downtown at Jules' coffee house. Someone told me LaCrosse is becoming quite the lesbian mecca. I'm not surprised, considering the recreational opportunities, cheap real estate and good views. Lesbians like stuff like that. No gay boys to be seen, however, but I got more than a few good ganders at some burly bubbas over at the mall.
I am off to Hood River, Oregon and Mt. Hood and its environs for some snowboarding with my brother tomorrow. I'm not sure if I can snowboard for three days straight though, so I might have to campaign for a trip into Porland for some urban fun. Back into DC on the 30th, and that damn lazy roomate better have that bathroom cleaned and the toilet fixed when I get back!

Ya should have been there Friday morning. String Ties were playing and of course... I was there.
Jules is a great place, but I never see lesbians there, mostly trendy college guys.

There was like a half dozen of them there, excluding the staff. Or at least they could have been lezbians. They were in twos. But I could be mistaken.

Yep, the Coulee Region is full of lezzies. My aunt and her partner live in a farmhouse in Ettrick. How...rustic.

Mmm perhaps im more focused on the guys then.
still a great place. But I suppose I must admit, all of my gay friends are lesbians, the gay guys seem to be more about getting with each others man than being friends.
and yes.. that 6 pack is a disappointment from what it used to be.
