After a minor date change due to schedule conflicts, Ron made reservations for the 2 tables at the Stoney Creek Brewery<\/a> in downtown Detroit at 6:00 pm on Thursday, May 29, 2003. The 2 tables turned into a few more tables – then, after a few more people turned up, we just took over the whole fireplace corner to ourselves! We didn’t let the rainy trip there get us down, there was too much good food, drink and smoke to be had. We even had a tour of the brewery! The food was excellent, the service was entertaining, and the beer was good – However, as usual, the cigars and the people made the night! And thanks to Bob P for picking up almost all of the tab!! Speaking of the people, officially in attendance this night: Rob VG, Ed, Mark, Ron, Jeremy, Jim, Sohan, Tim, Unnamed (and un-shown) Female Guest of Tim, Patrick, Brian, Bob P, and Marty. Did I miss anyone? Look, pictures!! …but watch out, they are large and un-edited until we get a “round tuit”…
\nBob, Rob, Patrick (admiring the compliment of sticks), and Ron<\/a>
\nEd, Mark, Bob, Patrick, Ron, Brian, and Marty. Write your own joke for Patrick’s and Brian’s expressions…<\/a>
\nPatrick, Ron, Brian (the most insincere physical gesture of positive expression yet!), Jeremy, and Marty.<\/a>
\nEd and Rob, ensuring that we were drinking and smoking effectively, on time, and on budget.<\/a>
\nGary, Barry, and Bob. Pro pool players? Not so much. Bob kept trying to chalk his cigar…<\/a>
\nGary, Barry, Jeremy, and Randy, doing what we do best – a whole lotta nothin’…<\/a>
\nMark and “Dine Out Detroit” – freshly torn off the wall..<\/a>
\nRon and Marty. Marty is aghast! At what? I don’t know.<\/a>
\nSohan (inhaling), Randy (in background), and Patrick (in heaven!).<\/a>
\nAround the table from left – Randy, Jim, Brian, Unnamed (and unshown) Female Guest of Tim, Bob, Rob, Patrick, Ron.<\/a>
\nSame people as above, different angle.<\/a>
\nTim and Brian. Frick and Frack. ’nuff said.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
