I'm from Alaska (Anchorage), but I go to Rice in Houston for grad school. Just got home for Christmas, and I'm enjoying the cold weather very much!

There was a pub crawl? I didn't even hear about it! (Oh well... it would've been right during finals week anyway.) When's the next one?

Oh, and here's a link to the event daveIT posted - the link he gave is just the application for brewers: clickity-pop! It's past the deadline to apply as a brewer, but attending is fun.

I dont know when the next one will be, but they are hiring a lead bottler, and a book keeper right now. The last crawl was Dec. 9. The next will be in the spring when they release their Spring Bock I think.
