  1. I will add remote Alaska folks are unique.  By unique I mean quirky to all extremes.  Hard working, tough as nails, surviving, thriving, grateful, and addicts galore.  Support for others and words like don't step foot on my property again have authority. Crazy summabitches to get outside in the ridiculously cold and I get looked at funny down here in the lower 40 when I say snow machine.  I blame yall. 

     

    On the unique note, had a drunkass 54 year old Homer fishing lady hitting on me at the hotel bar.  She runs a B&B down there now.  Can confirm she did not smell like fish thankfully.  

    Kevin Bacon has 6* of separation and if you spend time up there, have family there, or have worked in energy, from upstream down, the service industry, etc. you are closer to 2* of separation.  Everyone knows everyone in this weird way. 

     

    If I can make things happen with my company up there, I may have a 500g trailered offset ready to go and smoke some brisket, ribs, etc. this summer.  It's a decent trip for you and I promise the bbq won't be the shitshow you're used to by now. Turnagain, etc. is terrible.  🤣

  2. Love this thread.  

     

    Was up there in Anchorage 2 weekends ago when 15+ inches of snow dropped.  Wanted to get out beyond the valley and no dice.  Was gorgeous though.  

    Most likely will end up outside of Anchorage sooner rather than never.  

    Why do people up there not like it when I call break up season, Codependent season?  

  3. TLDR: Quit my job, new offer is coming in this week and I will accept early next week.  I now have 3 weeks off for a vacation I haven't had in a bit. 

    Holidays, Family time, all of that will occur as I am driving south in the next few days with no rush or care in the world.   Y mas, and a select few other restaurants, breweries, etc. will be visited and I will most likely get some day drinking in.

    That said, a friend with whom I'll be crashing at a few of the nights as offered to buy me anything down there that I don't want to take back with me.

    What are the top 5 things HEB makes now that I must try?

    High

    That's a great dispensary btw.  Good choice.  Go up to girdwood for where the best flower is.  They also have some pure AK strains up there, that are divine.

    Gregory is a nightmare to plan for from the sound of things. I think basketball capacity is less than 4K total. Prioritizing season ticket holders becomes a chore which is why this is students only. 

    It should stay students only, imo.  Build the fire and fanbase for students there while making it special.  Then bring that passion over to the drum and new facilities eventually.

    I got to try his outstanding food last at Bodacious just a month or so before he left.  I need to get over to Longview to try Sunbird soon.

    In college I would eat at Bodacious every Sunday for cheap.  It was like 7.50 for a large tea, chips and two chopped beef sammiches.  One of my favorite memories of being in the right arm pit of Texas for a stint.

    Really?  Huh.  I was up there in August and they were fully open for everything.  

    This was in 2020 during the ramp up and peak of covid.

    What got fucked?  Couldn't stop in Canada for fuel?

    Alaska closed all things at that point.  We would have had to spend the 2 weeks in a hotel room and not leave it for their quarantine rules at that time.

    Appreciate it. Yep Mooses Tooth is one of the main places she misses. Has 3 hoodies from them so we are definitely hitting that up more than once. She was born and raised there so her family has some things planned but I may get a couple of days to do what I want and I will definitely message you. 

    Word.  Covid fucked up my guys trip up there.  A buddy has a plane and we were going deep back country for 2 weeks in covid July.  Pure back country freedom.

    Flying out tomorrow morning to spend 17 days in Anchorage meeting my gf's family for the first time since we started dating 4 years ago. Cold as balls right now, wish me luck. 

    Good luck! All my clients are up there and I miss it.   Mooses Tooth, Matanuska Brews, and more.  If you need legit local info or other connections let me know.  I've got people all over the city.
