I see it's an IPA, which I miss a great deal (the Ami's make good pale ales
IMHO...even in Columbus!!), because the Swiss don't seem to know how to make
'em at *all*.  And I don't live in a town big enough to have any specialty
import stores.  Only on trips to Zuerich or Basel, I'm afraid.

Anyway, I'm game for this Eagle place, if we can get in.  I guess there's
only a few here on boc-l who are going to Cambs. for the gig Friday?  Is
there any interest in making a firm plan, or just acting on our own and see
what happens?  I'll likely meet up with Jon no matter what, and I suppose
that means we'll run into Carl at some point...but don't know about the
others.

Well, anyway...I'll play it by ear I guess.

Grakkl (FAA)

P.S.  What's the status of smoking bans/proposals in pubs/etc. in the UK?
