Cornhole

What a weekend. I always forget how far away the east coast is until I'm sitting on a plane for 4815162342 hours. But I would turn right around and do it all over again. I had a great time.

Friday morning was the start of party preparations. We made trips to pick up a keg, CO2 for the kegerator, and supplies to make cornhole. We've talked about making cornhole ever since we saw it played up in Eagan. The game is kind of like horseshoes but with beanbags instead of chunks of metal, and you're trying to throw through a hole in a piece of wood. I might feature the game in an upcoming podcast, but suffice it to say, everyone loves cornhole. The game was in use for pretty much the entire weekend. Friday night, Talbot, Adam, Jay and I put a dent in the keg and stayed up until Lauren and Andy got in around 2:30.

Saturday was party day and there was plenty of meat on the grill, friends mingling, drinks flowing, and cornhole bags flying through the air. A huge thanks goes out to Jay and Juliet for opening up their house to us ruffians. You two have an amazing place and lots of great people to fill it. It was fantastic seeing everyone again (well, almost everyone.) I hope we can do it again soon!
