By all accounts, Ernie Harwell was a classy gent. We need a drink that matched the man. A double shot of Johnny Walker (black of course) was the call and Minute Maid stadium was the ideal place (since we're never going to Detroit.) RIP, Ernie. Drink consumed by Bryn, Zack and Gene.

Celebration of Dio
Dio's life was celebrated with his 1983 Budweiser commercial "This Bud's For You" as we chugged a 6-pack of Bud Heavy while throwing up the rock sign. The picture is blurry, much like our time with Dio. RIP, DIO!

Celebration of Zelda Rubenstein
Touche on 6th st. in Austin. The bartender made the rock sign (foreshadowing?) and lit his hand on fire as he created the flaming Dr. Pepper shot. We yelled "stay away from the light!" and downed the shot. RIP Zelda!
