having never heard of the place I'm guessing, like, cheese curds, apples and light american beer?  that's what I'd do anyway.

Eat at the place that has a grass roof that goats grace on.  That's always fun.

Also, this is the best Fish Fry in the state, and they make mean Whiskey Old Fashions

and I should have mentioned that it's not really a "fish fry" meal unless it's a Friday night.  Cannot over emphasize that point.

Denied.  Not even people from Wisconsin like fish boils.  Horrible.

reno was great. would return. If you like O'Sheas you would love Downtown Reno because there are about 10 city blocks of O'Sheas-esque places. Fun stuff.

Also, Tahoe is very pretty. did a little hike up to a waterfall on our way back to the Bay. NBD.

was the place young/hipsterish like o'sheas had become or old hilarous fat elvis'y?

hilarious fat elvisy and young blue collar types. Don't know why more young SF hipsters don't make the trip.

All the eqypt hyatts are basically free on either points or cash.

This place was kind of cool but def not great. Lots of fat Russians with fantastically hot wives and bad person kids. 12 restaurants that were all pretty subpar. The diving tour was awesome though. And they had a huge 4-story water slide that was embarrassingly enjoyable.

Also, my Swedish roommate my freshman year of college called me "fat Elvis" because of my sideburns.
"How will I recruit to Manhattan? Well, distance. And the proud state of basketball. It start there, and then daily flights to Dallas, because I'm really good at going out. Like top five good. Ask my wife. She wants me to be happy."

The classic fish fry comes with fries, slaw, and buttered rye bread.  Always rye bread if you are authentic.

Don't expect to go there and have a wild time. it's basically just farm country, Don't get me wrong, I love the place have been several times, but it's a place to relax and just do nothing.

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

He doesn't live in Portland.  He lives in some town named after a lake, probably the equivalent of Olathe.

Taking recommendations for an isolated carry-onable suitcase.  The small one that's part of the cheap set I got from BB&B is in rough shape.  Needed for upcoming 3-day trip to a 10m pocket planes town.
