Last Sunday, as I was mixing up the cheesy potatoes to put in the crock-pot for a potluck at a local brewery, with the best group of friends ever, to celebrate one of their birthdays, I was thinking about the role music played in our friendship.

We started meeting up at a local brewery almost two years ago now. It happened pretty organically. One friend posted on Facebook that he was there and invited people to come hang out and have a Bloody Mary. A few friends saw the post and went. The next Sunday, those friends and a couple of others met up for Bloody Marys. The third week, texts went out, and someone had named it Sunday Bloody Mary Sunday (SBMS) [after the U2 song, Sunday Bloody Sunday]. The funny thing is that the brewery calls it Sabbath Bloody Mary Sunday because they play all Black Sabbath all day (some of us just tune that out hahaha).
