Flashback

You might recall about month ago, a group of chicago running bloggers went on a fun run, ended up at the half acre brewery tour, and were scolded by the fashionable young man who thought we were a little too boisterous.

Well, Erin of LoopLooks coordinated a little fashion link-up where we could all put up our best attempt  of replicating his appearance.  And for reasons i will never understand, this is the only thing i have been able to keep on my mind for the past 4 weeks.  Seriously, i have been forgetting things left and right, but this?  This i remembered even in my dreams.  I have some serious priority issues.

So this was our friend.  I'm going to call him Stuart.  I highly doubt his name is Stuart, but i was too drunk to remember, and he looks like a Stuart.  I digress.

This is my homage to Stuart:
I know you're all doing a double take right now!!
Obviously, you can't even tell which is which.  Just to prove that it's really me, and not just a second picture of Stuart, here is a pic of me and Wafflito!
***Waffles does not approve of this outfit or this photo.
Needless to say, I can't believe i felt the need to write a whole post about this.  Obviously, i lead an exciting life.  Although, while its not a competition, i obviously won, AND i get bonus points for holding an even more obscure beer than the beer guy.  Thats right, Matt and I scowered all the Binny's in Chicagoland and found the last two Ommegang special edition Game of Thrones "Iron Throne Blonde Ales" in Downer's Grove.  YEAH we went to Downer's Grove for nerd beer!
So i out-beered and out-hipstered the beer hipster.  At least i am succeeding at something!!

  4. You NAILED it with your interpretation!

    I admire your dedication with the beer search, but was it really worth the trip to Downers Grove? I mean.... really? That's so far away!

  8. How loud were you guys? I run by Half Acre a few times a week and I took the tour about 2 years ago I think.

  12. Ok, so I am bit upset you were less than a mile away from me and you didn't even call! ;)

    I love how you captured Stewart, and I think that is a perfect name for him.
