Hey all :)

So, if your city, town country, etc. has a beer festival and you don't fight the demons of the alcohol :( , I suggest you might want to check it out!! Today I went to the Calgary International Beer Festival and somehow I'm still of the mind that I think I can right this blog :gikkle: Myself, I'm more a straight kind of pilsner kind of guy, seldomly venturing into the the likes of IPA's, stouts, ales, and all the others. Well, I surprised myself :o. I had a great day at the festival and think this might be a more yearly thing. It is always a great thing that you can break out of your normal habits and try something new, you might surprise yourself! I know I did :yes: 

Now I'm curious, tell me something that you did this week that might have been out of your comfort zone? Maybe you didn't actually do it, but did you think of getting out of the norm? I know in addition to the beer fest, I also made an honest effort to be more nice to Val :gikkle: I'm not sure if you are willing to take on such an extreme change, but let me know what you may have, or plan to do :) 

Enough about all that :P, lets see what happened here at the GA News Blog this week.

Monday we found the first of the month with Cia introducing us to an all new CSR:

Not to ever disappoint on the first Tuesday of the month, Aaron was back with another great AAA 3.0:

Extra, extra! Did you hear the news? Val was by to let us know of two upcoming writing events. One is a secret, so don't tell anyone about it :unsure: 

Back to a full week of GA News Blog, we had Cole pop in with a couple of new prompts for us all to tackle:

It is always nice to get back into the routine of things I say. So it is great that Comicality was back with another great article again this week:

 

Don't forget, Myr was in everyday with the Words of the Day:

lotusland, termagant, exuberant, mottle, farce, syntax, unrequited

I'm a big fan of hefeweizen! A local KY brewery makes one with a hint of banana bread flavor, and I'm a sucker for it. But I've been stuck on Mom Water for a while now.

Hmmm, I'm sure there's a sticky answer to this question.

Well, I see @Valkyrie and myself are going to have to have a talk with you and your heathenish ways. In the meantime your babysitter will be arriving tomorrow morning and you better be on your best behavior.

I have never found a beer that I like. It all hits my stomach the same way, no matter the taste. It just is awful... and the smell of most of them are rather offensive.

Give me a cocktail, margarita, or a nice red wine and I'll be happy. :P

And the weather finally was nice over the weekend, so I stayed outdoors most of the time playing volleyball, did some light hiking, and played softball which is something I haven't done since High school.. and I sucked at it. :D
