 Wednesday: biking to work and playing in the sun at 10:48 AMI think that all businesses should bring back the "bring your daughter/son to work" days.

No really its called EPIC beer and it is...EPIC. Best of all it was all FREE! Some say being late to an even and missing all the food and not winning the raffle and driving for EVER wouldn't be worth but we say NAY ( yeah we do because were old school like that) adventures are always fun with a friend.
