It is time for another GBN reunion! It's been nearly a year and, although I've had more than my share of great Colorado micros, there has been a poignant absence of the age old GBN tradition in my new rocky mountain home. As GBN's resident Coloradoan, I have a few insider notes on the beer landscape of the state that brought you Coors Light, but really the only appropriate venue for such communications is a common space with a profusion of micro six-packs (and maybe some 12s).
For those of you still in school (which by the way is so 2008) let me know when you get your break and we'll see what we can work out.
Cheers to good beer!

GBN Quorum
John Stewart has joined us in Austin, TX. Aptly, it is a Tuesday. However, we are drinking shitty beers... so it's a GBN in spirit more than practice.
But GBN was always more about the spirit, no?
I miss the rest of you. Looking forward to the weekend when Carolina and Tamara will be joining us for many rounds of All Hands on Deck and more.
This High Life's for all y'all.

GBN Reunion... Fo' Realsies
Carolina of the Van Horn clan will be joining us in Austin over Easter weekend. Folks should fly/drive/run in from miles around to join us for epic feasts of chocolate eggs and bunny rabbits, and great pints of the finest ales. I'm specifically eyeballing the folks in our near(ish) proximity: Tamara and Stew.
What better way to celebrate the Spring Fertility festival ( Passover for all you Jewish-types) than with good friends and brew?
Make it happen.

Google Autocomplete is the Best Thing Ever
So you know how when you're typing something into Google, after a few letters/words it pops up with a list of suggestions? Sometimes it's kind of helpful, even useful, but the main benefit is that you get a (terrifying) insight into the soul of the masses.
Here's what you do. Type the phrase "can you" into the Google search engine, then a space, then a random letter. See what pops up. What you get is a list of questions. What blows my mind is that these are the most searched questioned. Thousands of people, maybe millions, have typed out these questions into Google feeling anything from random curiosity to desperate need. Well.
"Can you actually" generates these:
Can you actually curve a bullet - No. Can you actually pass a high school physics class?
Can you actually die of boredom - This one I understand. I can imagine staring at the Google search page for 10 minutes, weeping, then just throwing it out there. I am not surprised that this makes the list.
Can you actually make money taking surveys - Jesus.
Can you actually see russia from alaska - Was Sarah Palin actually that popular? Why? I mean, George Bush was an easy target too, and haven't we pretty much forgotten about that guy?
Can you actually grow taller - There are some desperate, desperate short people out there doing the internet equivalent of throwing a penny into a fountain. Dear Internet Fairy...
Can you actually die of a broken heart - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Yes, this is just good horse sense. I know when I'm feeling a little blue, the thing I turn to for comfort is THE MOTHERFUCKING INTERNET.
Can you actually tip a cow - This one is a head-scratcher. Doesn't this seem like kind of a specific question for it to be so popular? I mean there's no reason to be curious about this unless you're trying to test it out, and the Venn diagram for "people who tip cows" and "people who have access to the Internet" seems like it would have a small center.
Bonus round: Typing "can you" and then a random letter. Try the letter G.
Can you get pregnant on your period - OK, this seems reasonable. That's something you might want to double-check.
Can you get pregnant from pre sperm - Um. OK, is that really...?
Can you get pregnant on birth control - Hang on, that's not... seriously?
Can you get pregnant from being fingered - You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
