Picked up a few bar tabs over the holiday weekend in SW Virginia to thank a few 12Wers on everyone's behalf (they were all invited) as 12W now finances our supercharged servers that cost us as much a two high-end Mercedes Benz leases every month.
You're worth it; they help make it happen. No one was in charge of documenting the evening so here's what we were able to pull off of our sticky/cracked screen phones the morning after:
Beamer's 25 in Roanoke - our chosen locale. Would go back.
Veering off-topic here: All burger proprietors should offer 1) fried egg upgrades and 2) tots as a fries alternative. Beamer's heroically does this. It's their Bear Front Double Eagle answer to stopping hunger and there's no known adjustment that can defeat it.
The gang mealing at Beamers. The mood lighting helped hide everyone's shame from briefly rooting for Purdue to beat Marshall. Also, it's the only picture any one of us bothered taking as no one stopped chewing or talking the entire time. Good job, me.
The nightcap after Beamers at Blues BBQ where libations were spilled and many tales were regaled.
Planning to do more of these in the future for our sugar daddies. Thanks to everyone who made it as well as to those who reluctantly declined. Looking forward to the next one!
