On Sunday I had the pleasure of attending my first Women who like beer Meetup over at the Rogue Public Ale House in San Francisco. As I previously posted, this was for a Socola Gourmet Chocolatier and Rogue Ales Beer Pairing! I left shortly after 1PM and caught some of the Gay Pride parade on […]

Gyms and beers
June 26th, 2010 by pleia2
I finally joined a gym last week, Crunch, just down the street from where I live. When I canceled my membership back in Pennsylvania in preparation for the move in February the plan was to see how walking everywhere in the city would do for me exercise-wise and decide from there whether I wanted another […]
Beer in Brussels!
May 22nd, 2010 by pleia2
I’ve wanted to visit Belgium ever since I had my first beer from Duvel back in 2001. The opportunity to go was unexpected this year, and as a result of the circumstances (attending the Ubuntu Developer Summit for Maverick Meerkat) I wasn’t able to spend my whole trip sampling beer and being a tourist, but […]

Travel and UDS Maverick Day 1
May 10th, 2010 by pleia2
Saturday morning I woke up early to get to the airport on time and caught my flight out of San Francisco. The flight was slightly tense since I had to gate check my carry on (argh!) and further ash cloud problems were cancelling several flights out of the US that morning. I landed in Chicago […]
On my first trip to BevMo! I broke it
March 22nd, 2010 by pleia2
OK, so I didn’t break it, it was a software bug, but “Software bug at BevMo!” is not as funny a title (or is it?). After living in Pennsylvania, land of the notorious PLCB, for eight years, being able to walk in to a BevMo! (a sizeable wine, spirits and beer store chain on the […]

Camden Aquarium and The Abbaye
February 6th, 2010 by pleia2
Last weekend I met up with waltman and we headed down to Camden to go to Adventure Aquarium. Unfortunately it’s winter, so the ferry isn’t running, but the trip over the bridge and through a bit of Camden was not a big problem. First stop at the aquarium was to head out to see the […]
More beer in a grocery store
October 13th, 2009 by pleia2
A couple years ago I blogged about beer in a grocery store (sadly, this specialty grocery store has since closed citing the economy and location, I can’t say I’m surprised, it was in Lansdale). For those of you living in states with sane liquor laws, this may not be much of a shock – grocery […]
Ubuntu California, Birthday, RiffTrax Live
October 10th, 2009 by pleia2
And now those things from the past few weeks that I didn’t manage to cover in my last post… Meeting the San Francisco Ubuntu California folks! What a treat. Grant Bowman arranged to meet up at Thirsty Bear Brewing Company which was about half a block from where I was staying. I was able to […]
