Jon's house

It was outside. Jon built a fire pit and grilled corn and bacon and made pulled pork sandwiches. These things all tasted great. We had guests. A grand time was had.

#14 was an early one. Allen hosted–avocado, bacon, and cheese sandwiches for all! We even allowed the playing of an extra track, since Matt's side was so hot. November was pretty funky; was it a hangover from taking body shots of week-old gravy?...Listen for yerself below.

#13 - October 2012

Stroble hosted sesh number 13, on a cold & wet October evening. Everyone warmed up with some Rogue Voodoo Maple Bacon Ale, and then proceeded to the basement to warm-up the new (used) Pioneer receiver.

Oh yeah! We had a first–someone spun a record that no one had ever heard before. Including the LP's owner. Turns out that Rock 'n Roll Rocket is the funky white-Dad jam. (Later, we did spin the 45 of "Moonlight Feels Right" from Stroble's personal stash.)

#12 - September 2012

Meeting #12! Hey, we've been a club for a whole year. I think that means we get to start wearing strange hats, or have laminated member ID's, or ... something cool-er. Shawn must've known, and brought commemorative gifts (music...of course).

#12 was at Drew's. There was bacon...lamb bacon, to be specific. (Did you know baby lambs are actually 99.8% bacon?) And bacon saltwater taffy acquired in Monterrey, California.
