108 Bottles of Beer on the Wall... 108 Bottles of Beer...

Quick run down... Bass Beer will be served at our wedding in addition to red and white wine and soft drinks.

The story:

Though Alinna may be ardently trying to learn the Japanese language, I may turning Chinese. Originally, we were planning to serve beer, wine, and soft drinks at our wedding. We picked out our wines after parousing multiple Beverages & More stores. While doing so, I was reminded that BevMo does kegs of beer as well. After looking down the selection of beers available in keg form, I had decided that I would like Boddington's Beer to be served. The 12 gallon keg would cost $129.99 not including the service charges and deposits for their keg, tap, and tub. It was looking to be a good deal. But then...

On my last trip to the South Bay I got a bad case of the munchies. I stopped at the local RiteAid to see if they had any snacky goodies like Hot Buffalo Wing flavored Snyder's pretzels. Alas, the pretzels were not to be found but at the front of the store was a fairly large display for Bass Beer. Actually to say that it was a display gives it too much hype. It was more like a make-shift pyramid of 12-pack boxes of Bass. Upon closer inspection, I found that they were on sale. A normal 12 pack costs $13.99. But RiteAid was having a sale and was selling them for $8.99. And on top of that, there were sticker coupons stuck to each 12-pack for $3 off making the final price at $5.99.

Somewhat quietly I exclaimed, "$5.99 for a 12-pack? That's like 50 cents a bottle. It's cheaper than water!" So naturally, I bought 9 12-packs. Hence the 108 bottles of beer on the living room wall. I feel like a frat boy. It's great.

Just got back from camp... yeah, still trying to figure it out. Had a good time speaking. Got a taste of what it might look like to do ministry with Alinna and that went well. Wondering if I might be better suited to speak to an older audience. Hmm...

I was checking out the wedding website and realized that I didn't give out the password to post on the guestbook. Props to Steve for figuring it out somehow... probably looked at Alinna blog.

The checklist remains the same as last time because I was gone all last week at camp. Time to get crackin' once again.

As you may have seen, we have a website now for our wedding. It's still in the works... of course, I don't think there'll ever be a time when it is done. Well, until the wedding's done.

It's really been great being home this summer. And as an added bonus, my arms which had the most horrible eczema this last year, are finally starting to clear up. I think I may be allergic to Los Angeles. This is problematic.

Turned in my first assignment for the Free Methodist polity class and got an "A". Who knew that "John Wesley" would get you an "A"? Be rest assured this is all a bit of hyperbole. A bit.

And of course, to keep up with the recent trend... the progress of the wedding planning.
