Rain doesn't dampen fun at June beer bust

We've had the second-wettest June in history, but the rain stopped in time for the Cavaliers to hold the first beer bust of the summer on June 27. In spite of wet weather, we drew a bigger than expected crowd to the patio of the Phoenix. And because of the all-day rain, temperatures on the patio were very pleasant indeed.

Our friend Mike M. from the bear club showed up to hawk T-shirts and tickets to the upcoming LazFest, the annual July 4 fundraiser for Lazarus House.

Most of the Cavaliers were on hand, too, including Poncho, William, Mike D., Doug, George, Mark, Collin, David, and Michael W. We were also happy to have our friend Michael G. come down from Jackson to join us.

Our friend Adam was just back from a week in Tuscany, and showed us lots of pictures of his travels on his Palm.

We were particularly pleased to meet plenty of folks who've just moved here to New Orleans, including one couple from California, and another from Texas. The Texas boys have a Gold Wing and were interested to find out more about our club. We'll be eager to have them join us on a ride soon.

Mark made the rounds with our famous 50/50 raffle. The winner and the club each took home an extra $91, our fattest pot yet. David brought his famous jambalaya, and Michael W. was behind the bar. William, Mike D., and Doug took their turns behind the bar too.
