Hello smarty pants. What say? Beer Salon, this Sunday, 7pm? Where? Good question. In a park would be nice, wouldn't it? I guess it depends on our topic and media.

I have 2 suggestions:
Mark Maron's WTF podcast episode 189. I listened to this gem in my studio the other day and it blew my mind. Mark Maron is a very smart comedian who hosts other comedians for some serious conversation. It gets to the heart of some of foundational BS talks. In this episode Maron interviews a comic, Nick Thune, who is a Christian. Maron is an agnostic with Judaic roots. He starts the podcast with a provocative monologue about faith and the two comedians commence a challenging, stereotype busting, and thoughtful conversation about the human condition and Jesus. This could be hard to swing in a park but we could figure something out.

Otherwise, a general BS brainstorm could be helpful. We could bring our notebooks and pencils or books or electronic devices and calendars and all throw in to get BS rolling again. This would be easier in a park.

Plus, covert beer drinking in a park! what fun.
