Jeff wanted a blowout before heading south. We tried and did OK. Watching Iowa get stomped by Michigan in football put a bit of a damper on things, but we still got to enjoy some shopping, ice cream, beer, sushi, and whiskey.
  • An Oktoberfest to start the day
  • Listening to Kari talk shit while we get some weirdo, tasty ice-cream at Black Cat.

  • They had this beer that had tomato pulp in it. The first one was pretty clear. Kari told them to make a bloody beer out of it... so they shook the keg and brought her pints of more pulpy stuff to sample.
