beer, hooray!

A while back I caught a mention of a blog about beer in South Florida over at Rick’s spot and for whatever reason I kept said blog in the backburner and never got around to checking it out… Now I deeply regret it. I missed a weekend of Dogfish Head at Abraxas!!! (Among many other things that took place right around the corner from me.)

It’s not like you have to wait for him to blog about something, he’s got a beer events calendar right on the sidebar that comes in very handy.

No doubt SFBB has been bookmarked, del.icio.us’d, facebook’d, rss’d & twittered.

It was hot (down right muggy), bright, mesmerizing and loud. The Collabo Show was overall a very satisfying experience even though they ran out of beer rather quick, something that didn’t go well with the sweltering ambiance of the locale.

My ears are still ringing from all the drumming/banging/crashing/whatever-you-wanna-call it is they were doing that was so overwhelming I couldn’t even look their way… although it could have been the bright strobe light, illuminating the inert, stuffed feline, lying belly-up on a table in their general direction.

I couldn’t help but become fixated on the jelly fish in the water tank under the blue light, as well as the hot air paper balloons that gloriously burned over the Little Haiti skies. (With the couple of exceptions where they burned either just prior or right after being released.)

Honestly, I don’t know what it all meant but it was a lot of fun and as torturous as some of the work looked (e.g.  putting together the live piece in the suffocating confines of their installation), it was the artists who seemed to be having the most fun.
