Those overseas can contribute too--link in the "Add yourself" section....

That's cool. I'm on it!

That's pretty cool in a wierd kinda way . My town's so small, it wouldn't take my zip code. I had to put in the closest real city. Good find , Orrelse !

I believe that if you put in your city's name, it will take it.

woah... i didn't realize I lived near Mr. & Mrs. Monkey.

LOL....mine's just a shadow behind ORRELSE's.

I hope you all like my self portrait!

TxBrew--do you mind if I add our URL to Frapper's Public Directory?

Awesome. Plugged in.

Never realized you were so close to Osaka. Are you considered in Osaka proper?

We need to get this out there for everybody. It's so Cool!

Not Osaka proper, but we're all the Kansai Region (West Japan) we speak our own dialect and have our own food. Locally we're usually lumped into Kobe, but really it is 15 minute to either Kobe or (western) Osaka. Most of the world just considers us the Not-Tokyo-Part of Japan.

Ah, I see. That map is terribly difficult to find anything on. I'm hoping to take some vacation time out that way in a year or two (Osaka, Kyoto, Nara).

So is it true that Kansai folks eat rice with their okonomiyaki? (x10)

Yeah, but you should check out those freaks in Hokkaido, they BOIL their monkey first!!?

If you want specificity, try pasting this into the Google maps:

西宮市、伏原町　３ー１７

You might need to go to Google Japan, but maybe no.

By the way that's not MY house it's pointing at, I'm sorta kitty-corner to the right... the small one.

Don't ask me why but I just put in directions for Buckingham Palace to the Moon and it did it!

238,712 miles straight up (if you leave at the right time of year/day)?

How'd you get it to do that? I tried and it just suggests a number of streets in the UK (Half Moon Lane and such)

Start address:
Buckingham Palace Road
Westminster, Greater London, SW1
End address:
The Moon
Angus, DD8
Distance: 494 mi (about 10 hours 58 mins)

ai, just a wee bit south of yon rotery is The Moon... thar's the pub whar ye'r missus conceived ye!!

Cool. Well until I get some money to join and put my picture up you can see what Thunder and I look like on it

hey... the North Carolina/Virginia area seems to be a LOT stronger in numbers that the TX crew. Either you Cowboys aren't representing yourselves, or The Southern Colonial Brewforce is *really* the Capitol of the North American Homebrewtalk Nation.

Where are the rest of the Canuks? C'mon guys.

Japan is pretty far. I'm halfway there compared to the rest of the brew community. Wait a minute, I thought there was some kind of 1% max alcohol homebrew law w/ since the Corporate beer companies bribe the gov to make it that way. Or something.

Yes the map is a PITA it keeps snapping back to North America when I try to scroll away.

This site is wierd that way, IMO....it seems we have a crapload of NC/VA, TX, and Uk brewers, and then a small scattering of everywhere else. It is like search engines are taylored for those certain areas. The "beer state" has a pretty good representation as well.... :rockin:

We are getting a great representation on that board though, for sure!!!

Bump'n this thread because there's been alot of HBT'ers looking to coagulate.
Nice to know who's in you're locale.

Looks like I won't be swapping beers with many people! See if you can find Tasmania on the map (go right, go right some more, bit more, then down a bit)
