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…

  • 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?

• 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
