Marty,

Sunday I begin my annual pilgrimage to KC. We work real hard and barely find
time to play, but back in November you mentioned Little Jake's Eat It and
Beat It,
Smokestack, Quick's, and Hayward's.

I can do my own research, but real quick....which ones are good/no good for
a group of eight thirsty guys who like Boulevard's brews....when I'm buying?

Thanks Marty. I try to do Jack Stack every year, we used to go all the way
out to Overland Park until they built the one midtown. Last few times out
BB's has been on the list. I might take the group to Bryant's this year,
it's close in and really authentic. A couple of the folks are local and
others from all over.

One of those locals was telling me about a Maker's Mark restaurant? I'm all
over that one. :-)

BTW, this is what I'm doing there, for the 12th year:
http://www.skillsusa.org/events/nlsc08.shtml If you know anybody that hires
entry-level IT types, I've got a gold mine of available and amazing talent.
(that goes for anyone out there...email me for details. johno heathkit com)
