Release Party in Stockholm October 13

What state has three double consonants in its name? You don’t know? Well, you’re not the only dummy out there; very few readers at the release party would have won a spelling bee competition since they could not spell Mississippi. Let’s blame the Maker’s Marks cocktails and too many Lagunitas out of the leaking ice-filled cauldron that made the floor at Jeans Uno quite hazardous.

It was a great party, quiz, Joel Swahn on guitar, great people, goody bags, beer, bourbon, jeans, and a brand new issue of American trails – No 11, ”The Comeback issue”!

Thank you all for attending, and hope to see you next time in December. And to all of you that did not show up, you’re more than welcome next time. See more photos here.
