  - you are totally right - thanks everyone! ST always is such a help with great suggestions that lead me to the answer! -- nm - JenBro Nov 19, 10:33
  - agreed. and you'll pick ones that he probably wouldn't try otherwise. -- nm - zork Nov 19, 10:24 1
    - I agree. maybe get a general idea of what he likes? -- nm - amanda Nov 19, 10:29
- but you'd have to make the GC $10 or $15 to be able to add the opener - zork Nov 19, 10:19
- how confident are you picking beers? If not so confident, I say brewery. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 10:19
- Brew your own beer and give him a sample. -- nm - Roger More Nov 19, 10:17 6

    - just fyi ... it may be (probably is) illegal for him to sell it to you. Offer him some kind of barter instead. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 10:35 2
      - trade for something like pictures of dead presidents? -- nm - zork Nov 19, 10:36 1

  - see? and she is like, my best friend so obviously I want to stay and hang out but (do you just want me to say this??) -- nm - amanda Nov 19, 10:21 2
    - she remodeled the house, how could she forget to make sure the air moves? add a fan, sash! -- nm - Max Nov 19, 10:31 1
      - they have a whole house fan. it's just too loud to be on if there are people in the house wanting to talk. - amanda Nov 19, 10:41
- home (avoid traffic next day - although maybe the drive is no big deal?) -- nm - JenBro Nov 19, 10:08 4
  - it's three hours. so I wouldn't get home until quite late. but... -- nm - amanda Nov 19, 10:10 3
    - I can see an advantage of making the drive that night vs next day - but would depend on how much drinky drinky I wound up doing. -- nm - JenBro Nov 19, 10:16 2
      - well, obviously I won't be drinking at all if I'm driving back. I do love sasha to death - amanda Nov 19, 10:18 1
        
        might just have to see what the weather is like too ... Thanksgiving is notorious for snow storms. -- nm - JenBro Nov 19, 10:35
- does it matter? you're just going to end up at some random dude's house anyway. ;) -- nm - Don Homer Nov 19, 10:07 4
  - better chance of that happening here than there. -- nm - amanda Nov 19, 10:10 3
    - Bring random dude as your designated driver to take you home. (nm) - musubi Nov 19, 10:13 2
      - this is an awesome idea -- nm - JenBro Nov 19, 10:16 1
