Hehehehe. Honestly, I have no idea what this was all about, but you know, I always tag along with him on weekends, and he is also with me when I go thrifting or to yard sales.
We arrived there 30 minutes early. There were about 5 people in line and a dog , but we stayed by the railing in the park overlooking the distillery. I told Jay that I think we should go in line. He said it was too early.
Then a guy with tropical printed shirt came. He also went in line.
"JAY, LET'S GO!" That was my nth attempt to convince him for us to go down.
We were given tickets There was a number written at the back, and Jay got the no.7 and I got the no. 8. It was maybe because the bottle was limited for 300 only. That was what I thought.
At exactly 12 noon, we were told to go in. The guy at the door said that all ticket holders from 1 to 10 go in the middle of the distillery. There was an older guy manning a table with 10 pre-packaged brown bags. The rest were told to go to the bar.
There was also free tasting for those that had tickets, and some pork barbecue sample hosted by P.I.G.S. BBQ.
There were huge Ralph Steadman's works hanging in one wall.
It was packed yesterday. The line reached to the street. Thankfully I had convincing powers and that it worked with Jay to fall in line about 20 minutes early. Yay!
I wanted to stop by the Free Poem table, and at the hand rolled tobacco table yesterday but totally forgot when the place became crowded.
I just wanted to smell the tobacco. Hehehe. My grandmother used to grow tobacco in ceramic pots in her balcony for personal use back in the Philippines. The smell of freshly rolled tobacco reminds me of her.
Wow! This was what's inside the bag, and we bought two.
We're going to give away the second bag to a special couple. *wink
