Requeim for a Brewer, A Basketball School
As I write this, I am drinking from what may be my final 6-pack of Foggy Bottom Lager Beer. There was recently a lot of attention brought to the fact that the Heurich House managed to be saved by a foundation, which was where the original brewer of the Foggy brews once resided. But what's more important is that at least one of the old Heurich brews was resurrected for a time - Senate and Old Georgetown Beers are still lost to the ages. But alas, now so is Foggy. Even though it hasn't been brewed in Washington for quite some time (the brewery was where the Kennedy Center stands now) there was still something decidedly Washington about it. So Mr. Heurich, a toast to you and your tasty local brew that I've preferred for the last few years. Perhaps I'll go back to Teeter tomorrow and buy out the rest of the stock.
----------------------------
I come from a ridiculously well-educated family. My father? MIT. My oldest sister? Princeton undergrad, Harvard grad. Second old sister? Penn, 2 Masters from Simmons. Younger Sister? Northwestern. Me? Well - I went to Full Sail. But now, I am at George Mason. A few weeks ago, it was just "That commuter school with cheap tuition in Northern Virginia." But I wore my sweatshirt proudly - after years of Roadie-ing and Campaigning I was finally back in college. We had an office pool for the NCAA tournament - I was the only one to carry GMU all way to the Championship game. But I didn't bet on it - why? "Because I don't know a goddamn thing about College Basketball." Now all of a sudden people stop me on the street at the sight of my Mason sweatshirt! And the office pool? A lousy $5 would've netted me $50. Grrr...
