I bemoan having gone from being a bucket person, to shelf person, to not even playing with Legos anymore person. Adulthood kinda has a way of doing that.

My friend and I wanted to start a Beer, Brats, and Bricks night, but right when that was gonna materialize, the plague struct. I should hit them back up. I still have buckets on buckets.

Sounds like a great time! From the brats comment I’m guessing you’re in Wisconsin or may Chicago.

Upstate NY, like Albany ish. We have bratwurst here. Actually being at the nexus of historic Dutch, German, Polish, and Italian immigrant populations, we have quite the selection of tasty cured pork products.

Sindoni Italian sausage is world-class. Aldi has a good selection of brats. And my family is from Western NY so we get Salen's hotdogs occasionally. I forget the name but there's a really good kielbasa at the grocery too.

Wow, sounds awesome! I’m from Chicago and there’s a lot of similar stuff around here. Maxwell polish, brags beer with onions and mustard, Italian meats… I’m salivating! I haven’t really been to the eastern parts so I’m unaware of what it has to offer but from your description there’s a lot!

Keeping it on topic… when is Lego releasing a Chicago dog? :)

Brats being children or hotdog sausages [Bratwürste]? (Or brothers [in Anglicised Russian]?)

Either sounds good.

I meant sausages, but I guess both, it's a double entendre :p Grilling and also we would involve his young son who is a big Lego fanatic.

He doesn't get to sample the beer, of course.
