1st Annual 40oz Crew Meeting of the Minds
Chicago, IL
08/13/04 - 08/15/04


It's been talked about since the beginning of my message board in 2000... a huge 40oz Crew party unlike anything before it... finally in 2004 it became official. Hosted by ImissMy64oz, as well as fellow Chicago area members satan165, doublej708, & brooks79z... with other members flying in from all over the nation - myself (NJ), DC40s (Washington D.C.), John Holmes (FL), Vile Fiend (WA), & White Mike (NY) - this was a weekend of swillin & chillin that will go down in history.

L to R: John Holmes, White Mike, me, DC40s, Vile Fiend, brooks79z, ImissMy64oz, doublej708, satan165

Friday night, shortly after ImissMy64oz picked me, Ford (my buddy who remains anonymous), & White Mike up at Midway International Airport we stopped off at a liquor store to get the night started... ImissMy64oz (right) & I.

This 1st night was meant to be more laid back then what Saturday night had in store. L to R: White Mike, myself, & satan165 starting it off with a few 40s.

DC40s (middle) making his grand appearance with his girlfriend Andrea & a case of Ice Man & Pit Bull 40s!

DC40s drinking a very old Lowenbrau malt liquor 40 that ImissMy64oz had displayed on his shelf warm & never drank due to the large fleshy chunks floating around inside formed from aging... DC40s just don't care!

Others got inspired to take a pull off this old nasty malt as well, such as John Holmes!

Having nothing to do with being drunk (I only had 1 40 in me at the time), and solely for the sake of making a classic, I pissed all over the wine rack in the next door 7-11 when noone was looking!

R.I.P. Crazy Chris!
