I'll turn 60 in July but don't feel it at all. You're probably the same way. The kiddos don't know what they're missing.

KANSAS CITY IS NOT A PIT.

Unless you meant a BBQ pit.

I am disappointed in the lack of Grand Rapids or Kalamazoo. Some of the best beer in the world comes from West Michigan. (Which we need, given that Erik Prince and Dick DeVos also come from West Michigan.)

Maybe an off day? Their 'cue is supposed to rock but I haven't had it yet. Or Franklins, in Austin either.

Nice to have a public house within staggering distance of home. I'm sorry the Parlor closed, I had a really good pizza there once.

Tough call in late June, aside from the whole Walker thing. (I grew up in Shorewood, did my undergrad in Madison). I guess, on balance, I'd say Mad City, because (1) the tour group will already have had lakeshore views in Chicago, (2) Milwaukee may be a little Summerfesty, (3) the Capitol Rotunda, (4) you'd at least have the option of State Street Brats, or whatever they're calling the Brathaus these days, (5) it is a couple hours closer to the Twin Cities.

Other residents post here. I would be willing to help organize something in the STL if required.

Minneapolis? It is about fucking time. How about Bryant Lake Bowl? Or Hell's Kitchen? Or Brit's Pub? Or some gutter?

First time thru, I read that as "Oklahoma City". Makes more sense now.
