Midwest Rollcall

[Badluck Brody]

Alright, it goes without saying that alot of the folks and events mentioned here on the wire happen on the West coast. So how many folks do we have here in the midwest. Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa,(Viking Fans) I mean Minn, etc.

Sure we have to put up with the white stuff for the better part of the year. That still dosn't mean we can't put something together and knock a few back in a central location.

So who do we have out there??

Bleeding Kansas

Im just 60 Mi West of KC. But my dog is from Campbelsport WI. Does that count. I had friends in Chicago, but they all died. Could be the winters. Spent some time in the Twin Cities, but I cant remember any of people, they all had colds and had kleenex in front of their faces. That leaves Omaha,,,,nope, dont know anyone there. Oh well, here comes the Wellers and water. Its Friday and I'll pretend Im from Minnesota and see if I can kill the bottle, feel miserable in the morning and be ready again by 3pm the following afternoon. Oh, the days of a mispent youth. Every time I pull a cork on a bottle of bourbon, it always reminds me of how the trash cans smelled in the barracks on a Sunday morning. Probably why I cant wear green anymore.

Mt. Prospect, Illinois. One of the northwest suburbs of Chicago. I was born and raised here, then I spent 4 years in East Lansing studying @ Michigan State. After that I spent 7 years in SoCal (where I met MK & several of the Bartenders here) but now I'm back in the midwest!

I live about 50 miles east of Cleveland- where I can vouch for a couple great micro breweries and volumes of Eliot Ness stories! :cheers1:

 

[Johnnysan]

Twenty-five miles south of Springfield, Illinois and mobile!

 

[Brad Bowers]

I'll be in Springfield, Missouri all next week, does that count for anything?

I was born in Kansas, but moved to Colorado when I was three and half, so I consider myself a Rocky Mountain boy.
