We need a DU gathering in Memphis.

[Shell Beau]

It's close enough for me to get to and it would be FUN!!

[Shell Beau]

1. I guess no one else thought it was a good idea!

[GOPisEvil]

2. Maybe if you cross-posted in the MS, TN and AR forums?

:shrug:

[Shell Beau]

3. But I want Lounge Lizards to go!!

<--Me throwing a 4 year old temper tantrum!!

[GOPisEvil]

4. *snort*

Well...I'd consider it, if you gave me enough time.

Cute smilie. :rofl:

[Shell Beau]

5. It fit the whining I was doing!!

It seems like the meet ups are always too far away for me, but one day I guess I'll be able to make one!

[GOPisEvil]

7. What you could do is just start planning one.

Pick a date, pick a location and just say, "I'm going to be at X on Y date - join me or be a loser." After a while people will find out about it and you might have a decent showing.

[Shell Beau]

8. Good idea!!!

[GOPisEvil]

10. And if no one shows, screw 'em. Have yourself some fun in Memphis.

:D

[Shell Beau]

16. Yeah!

I'll listen to some blues

[Taverner]

6. I would go to one at Graceland

always wanted to go to Graceland :)

[Taverner]

9. Tell ya what - I'll go to a Memphis one if you go to a Berkeley one

Triple Rock beer is all I gotta say....

"TREE FROG: Inspired by the "hip" 70's comic book series "The Fabulous Fury Freak Brothers," Tree Frog beer was their favorite brew. (As it is today with many of our 'regulars' and employees.) It is a dark amber colored, FULL bodied strong ale. English caramel malt and Briess maltings special roast impart the color and heavy malt character. Alcohol 5.8% - 6.4% B.W"

[Shell Beau]

15. That is so far away. But I would sure try to go to one!

[Taverner]

17. Would you do it for a pint of Tree Frog?

[Shell Beau]

18. What if I don't end up liking Tree Frog?

[Taverner]

24. Then Bug Juice perhaps?

BUG JUICE: Don't let the name freak you out! This is an excellent brew. Remember back to those days around a fire at camp? No ... it's not CoolAide or Grandpa's hooch. Bug Juice is an American pale ale. Fuller bodied, hoppier, and slightly stronger than its English counterparts, this could be considered a 'session beer'. Yes you guessed it ... Cascade hops all the way. Alcohol 4.8% - 5.2% B.W.

[Shell Beau]

25. You sure know your beer!!

;)

34. You'd probably like The Flying Saucer in downtown Memphis

Over 200 different kinds of beer (that's on tap and bottled combined) on the menu. If you drink 200 different beers you get a saucer on the wall with your name on it and the date you drank the 200th (hence the name, The Flying Saucer).

There's one in Little Rock, AR, and Nashville, too. Dunno if any of 'em have Bug Juice, though. :P

[Shell Beau]

12. It's okay! I guess a must see if you haven't already seen it!

[Redstone]

11. Will Elvis be there?

By the way, do they still have the Shelby County Welcoming Committee out there next to I-40 coming from Nashville, all day and all night like they used to?

Redstoen

[Taverner]

13. Elvis is Everywhere, my dear Redstone

So sayeth Mojo...

[Redstone]

19. So sayeth Mojo, over and over and over and over...

Good song, though. I'd not mind hearing it again; it's been a few years.

Redstone

[Shell Beau]

14. I can make arrangements for Elvis to be there.

He might look kind of like this , but I'll do my best.

Not sure about the welcoming committee! :shrug:

[Redstone]

20. Back in the 1970s, there was ALWAYS a radar speed trap on I-40

at the Shelby County line. Hence "Shelby County Welcoming Committee."

Redstone

[Shell Beau]

21. I'd bet that it is still there.

[johnnie]

22. I would love to get back to Memphis for a visit

It's one of my favorite places. If I had the cash, I would be there in a heartbeat.

[Shell Beau]

23. Memphis is a fun town. Not too big, but definitely lots to do there!

[billyskank]

26. We need a DU gathering in ENGLAND!

And we need all the American DUers to come to it!

[Shell Beau]

27. I have never been to England.

Have you ever been here?

[billyskank]

28. Not yet. It's on my list of things to do.

Honest!

[Shell Beau]

29. Good! Maybe we can both see each other's country!

[billyskank]

30. We should

That would be nice. :)

[Shell Beau]

31. Yep thet would be nice! Now how long is the plane flight?

I'm not too crazy about flying!

[billyskank]

32. Depends where you are, of course, but I think

from the East coast it's around 7 hours.

[Shell Beau]

33. Well yes, but I meant across the ocean!

7 hours, eh? Kind of long, but I could manage!
