Final Thoughts
Last weekend a few of us went to see the Nashville Rollergirls and once I figured out the rules I was hooked! I'm going to plan a official HOH Nation trip for their next home game.

The weekend is going to be beautiful! Tonight is perfect for a patio. So come on out and celebrate warm weather and the weekend!

PS. I know parking for happy hour can be a pain, might I suggest some places to find free parking. This week try 18th ave between South St and Grand Ave after 6pm.

Adult Beverage Fact of the Week

77 Percent of America's Hops Come From Washington

It's hard to have beef with the state of Washington. You can't get mad at people in Seattle because it rains so much and that's bad enough. But now, everyone in the USA has a reason to hail Washington state as one of the most important and revered places on the planet. Why, you ask? 77 percent of our country's hops come out of Washington. We must protect it at all costs. The world will probably help us protect Washington, since it also produces 40 percent of the hops for the entire globe. Terrorists don't make hops.

The HOH Nation email is a work of passion by me (David Beronja). I am not a professional writer so there will be commas missing along with other things that will drive people crazy. The purpose of this email is to connect people that's all.
