First Event: Part 1.5

Friday, December 14th is winning in the poll for the date of the event. I will give it some more time before declaring a winner. The time is up in the air. Some people may just get there at 7 and others at 8. Not a big deal.

It has been asked if women are invited. I didn't think that far ahead. Feel free to bring any significant other you like. My wife will be at home with babies during the happy hour.

Adam Muehl is the free beer winner. Although other people noted that the Bottleworks building was once a grocery store, Adam was the first to answer that it was a Shop n Save.

First Event: Part 1

Though not unanimous, the voters have widely (and wisely) chosen the fabulous Schlafly Bottleworks as the site of the first event of the St. Louis KE Pike Alumni. The event will be a happy hour(s), sometime in the early evening.

Located in redeveloping Maplewood, MO, this place serves all kinds of tasty vittles and even tastier beers. In fact, you can buy a Schlafly cider beer here and nowhere else. Rumor has it that serving a cider beer entitles Schlafly to some kind of winery state tax abatement. I have no idea how true that is, but the cider is excellent. As are the many stouts.

A free beer on me to the first person who can tell me what that place used to be before it became the Bottleworks. (Though technically correct, "empty old building" is not the answer I am looking for. I want specifics.)

Part 2 of the First Event post will be the finalized date of the get-together. The holiday season is fast approaching and people's schedules are filling rapidly. Vote for the date and time and hopefully we can get excellent attendance.

Perhaps even some chapter members on break can attend if we pick a date between Rockhurst semesters. Exams end December 8th and resume January 22nd? Can that be right? It is off of the RU online calendar...

If the event progresses rowdily, we can adjourn to the nearby White Castle, followed by Cusimano's.
