I had the honor of dining and drinking Ethiopian beer with Spiff this evening. This makes 3 meets, Flex, Beaneater and now Spiff.

Tell me more about Ethiopian beer.
Well I've had better and I've had worse. I was initially intrigued by an Ethiopian stout that was on the menu but they were out of that. The owner of the restaurant gave me a bottle of the 3 types of beer they did have. My eyesight is starting to go south so I couldn't read the labels very well nor recall their names. One seemed like a wheat beer light and a bit cloudy looking. Somewhat spicy sweet. The other two would fall under the generic mass produced lager/pilsner variety.

The food was good and the company was excellent, it has already been noted by several board members that Spiff is a cool dude.

That's 3 board meets for me now; Flex , BBE and now Spiff.
Still heading west?

Yeah cool meetup with Spiff, I propose that the name of the thread be charged to something more generic as in get rid of the Pacific Northwest part so it can be just a regular meetup thread.

Just had a magical evening with the Beaner -- turns out he's a big Van Hagar guy.

Isn’t that the Model Train Enthusiasts thread?
