hehe...you taped the booty band show on 6-10-06!!!!! I first met Al (bass/trombone) back at Shakori in 2004....we hit it off great, and every time I'm at one of their shows, he seeks me out.....I've been preaching to them about etree and live trading ever since, and it's great to see that...

OK, I managed to stumble across the acronym thread and finally found the reference......wow...my eyes will never be the same, after being exposed to such hostility.....hehehe... My dad was a lifelong sailor - I thought I had heard 'em all ;)

I'll admit I do bash AB quite frequently, but it's not because of their beer - it's there predatory practices that bug me..... When Old Dominion Brewery was becoming popular in the NOVA area - King Wholesalers was happily carrying their products, and Dominion benefitted from the distribution...

Dave Barry for President!!!! :ban: hehehe Let the Cynics Unite! I can remember his column being the only thing I looked forward to reading in the Washington Post each week.... There is a very fine line between 'hobby' and 'mental illness.' -- Dave Barry, "25 Things I Have Learned in...
