We will have a giant beer garden in front of the building, and with the temps predicted to be in the 80's summer looks to be here. The Big Time Brewery's beer garden looks to be the spot to be. I expect to see you all there with sunglasses, and of course a pint of tasty Ave Rat in hand. Just what the doctor ordered after a long winter of hibernation. We will have t-shirts and pint glasses available in limited supply. It is after all the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat_%28zodiac%29">year of the rat</a>, so we have a very special logo, different than last years. We plan to keep changing the logo every year, in fact we already have next years logo, we think. Last year we sold all the shirts before the street fair, and missed a golden opportunity, lets just say we prepared a bit better this year. Zack, the ave rat artist, is a great guy to see more of his stuff go <a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=12923021">here</a> or <a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=240784317">here</a>. Bill and I give him a vague idea of what we are thinking and her translates, or channels it through him and out comes a magic. According to Wikipedia: Behind the smiles and charm, rats can be terribly obstinate and controlling, insisting on having things their way no matter what the cost. These people tend to have immense control of their emotions, which they may use as a tool to manipulate and exploit others, both emotionally and mentally. Rats are masters of mind games and can be very dangerous, calculative and downright cruel if the need arises. Quick-tempered and aggressive, they will not think twice about exacting revenge on those that hurt them in any way. Rats need to learn to relax sometimes, as they can be quite obsessed with detail, intolerant and strict, demanding order, obedience, and perfection. this is another way to look at it taken from <a href="http://www.springsgreetingcards.com/catalogs/store.asp?pid=232024">this website</a>. In Chinese, the Rat is respected and considered a courageous, enterprising person. People born in the Year of Rat are clever and bright, sociable and family-minded. They have broad interests and strong ability in adapting to the environment and able to react adequately to any changes. I have noticed a lot of changes going on around me, maybe it is attributed to the year of the rat, many relationships are in flux, people are committing to do different things. Does this all have something to do with the animal that guides us all. Rats seem to be very tenacious and adaptable, willing to sacrifice a bit now for more down the road. Thrifty, demanding and focused. There is more information if you follow the links above. I will leave your with this years ave rat logo.... <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_xiG3LXv_W0Q/SCnkEkpxzWI/AAAAAAAAAEE/j0JSDs1Aiik/s1600-h/year+of+the+rat+copy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_xiG3LXv_W0Q/SCnkEkpxzWI/AAAAAAAAAEE/j0JSDs1Aiik/s320/year+of+the+rat+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199938011985464674" border="0" /></a>Big Time Breweryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06889742525786621996noreply@blogger.com
