I have a massive biggup. I've just been given the chance to buy 20% of a fully established micro brewery and im taking that chance with both hands and running like fuck with it. This will be the singlest, most important descison i've ever made in life. Does not even compare to buying my first house.

fantastic exhibition hey

i thought the last day/night would be crazy so went fri night instead.

no wait, got membership which had free passes so straight in (was a massive Q for tix fri as well)

still the downside was it shut around 10 so only got 2.5hrs in there which wasn't enough. rushed thru last room

need a whole weekend!
