The Tenth Fit - Festivals!

  • Welcome to Episode 10 of Drinks and Talks!
  • Happy Anniversary?
  • Happy New Season?
  • It’s October 13th, 2019 in Studio B
  • Drunks in the park singing?
  • Went to an event today
    • We were tasting some not-so-great wines
  • Riverbank Cheese and Wine Exposition 2019
  • It got started a long time ago, not sure when
  • We’re guessing it’s because of cheese that used to be made in downtown Riverbank
  • Now it is a street fair that is free
  • No kids means we’re going drinking!
  • We got a deal on the tickets – seemed like an error
  • We carefully avoided people that we don’t want to see
    • Side track about #ModestoFamous people
  • The wines were… not… good.
  • Ten bucks is ten bucks, right?
  • Who does pepper jack cheese at a wine tasting? There’s a purpose to cheese at wine tasting!
  • The actual cheese booth inside was awesome, though!
  • Olive oil tasting was taking way too long, so we skipped out on that.
  • IPA, IPA, IPA, Pale Ale, and then a Red…
  • Got some deep fried, fair food.
  • The music though…
    • All the hits, the hits, the hits!
  • And the cover band…
  • And then we left!
  • Support the local…

    • Syd rants about tattoos.
  • For a long time
  • More to say about street festivals and faires.
    • Castroville Artichoke Festival was good because it had a theme
  • Riverbank Cheese and Wine Exposition however…
    • Expensive Beer
  • Same vendors year after year selling the same stuff
  • HVAC and Water Softener booths
  • …but the people…
  • Why do they want to pay $5 or more a beer, cheap beer, to walk around downtown?
  • More specifically, why do they keep doing it?
  • What is it? Why do they do it?

  • But not like Spokane, there’s too much snow
  • It’s been a year since we’ve been in the Pacific Northwest
  • Coco announces her new hairstyle
    • Spoiler: She shaved her head
  • Syd plays the “old man” card
    • And people get confused by the fact that he’s an old man
  • He’s basically like a person in Nepal
  • Spoiler: Thompson-Hysell Engineering isn’t around any more
  • Syd’s co-worker shared some music thing with Syd at work
    • And Syd had no clue.
  • But it was kinda neat.
  • Basically, Syd doesn’t know what is popular
  • Back to the topic at hand, Coco and Ron Howard both have no hair
    • Well, Coco has some still because it was clippers
