So when we doing an away game in Mandarin?

Hell, I could have a few people/members over to my place once it cools off some.  I could fire up the grill and the fire pit (if it's cool enough).  Plenty of room as NYC could attest (as long as you don't mind the lunatic lab mix).

The away game at Oakland on 12/15 would be perfect for all of the above.

Thanks guys! Any time a small business closes, 99% of the time it's because they couldn't get out of the red. We were no different. But, like many other small businesses, it was due to a multitude of factors...some in our control, many not. It wasn't due to beer quality, that's for sure. When you're hiking uphill for 4+ years and taking little-to-no salary, it takes its toll. 

Still, I view it as a success (I'm forcing myself to) - I learned an immense amount about leadership, community and myself. I'm thankful for the experiences we had and the impact we made...and I'd love to have closed it for the 1% reason that businesses close. I'm also thankful to still be married.
