Taps 
There are three places I'd go to before Taps. Yard House and BJ's are right next to Taps, Hero's is closer to where we'll be. All are within 10 minutes, tops of each other.
1) Hero's 100+ beers on tap.
2) Yard House 200+ beers on tap about 500ft north of Taps
3) BJ's Brewery. I can't help it. I love the BJ's Blonde.
Pros
Heroes good, plenty of brew, local pub feel. Pretty good grub
Yard House, beer of every type for everyone and then some. Eye candy wasn't bad last I went
Bj's Blonde AND they have an impressive selection of Belgian beer. Food is A+ for me too
Cons
Heroes crowded quickly, service can suck at times
Yard House, artsy, fancy plates of food.
BJ's VERY LOUD. can get to that bowling place type LOUD.
Taps Beer mediocre at best. Food is just OK, nothing spectacular to write home about.
Either way any of these are WAY better than Taps IMO. I'll do Taps if that's everyone's choice.

Elmer Dills look out!
Let's check out the Yardhouse or Hero's I'm good either way. We can decide at 281 no pressure ladies

The car has been feeling weird from time to time occasionally.... then last weekend at the Brenspeed dyno day, it slipped big time on the first dyno pull. It hung in well on the next two pulls, but I just have a feeling that it's on the way out. And from what I've read, typically when you get the signs of failure, they go pretty fast after that. Plus, I want to hit the strip and that's not gonna happen on a stock, slipping clutch- I don't want to get stranded.

What's your favorite Sam Adams, Brian?

I had a Sam Adams White Ale at the GABF several years ago that has yet to be matched. They have done very well with the Wheat too, very bavarian with the right amount of clove and banana. Not too much of a porter/stout type ale so I typically shy away from them. The chocolate malt just disagrees with me. The Boston Lager is kinda my Bud/Coors/Miller when all else fails, as long as it's on tap

What made you choose Spec over Centerforce, McLeod, Fidanza or RAM clutches ? What about the McLeod TOB that I've read so much about, is that worth it ??
Oh yeah... 10 or 26 spline, how the heck do you change that out without totally taking about the trans ?
Did you see my post about the oil/air separator ?

Brian,
I don't know but do you get Shiner beer out there on the left coast. Specifically Shiner Bock amongst others. Just curious about what others think of it outside of South Texas. If you haven't tried it, give it a shot. Shiner Bock and Rolling Rock (2 completely different beers) helped me make it through college...or at least I made it through college despite them.

Nice beer conversations, and Ian, that beach looks amazing! 
But.. here comes the Taco party pooper...
No more MMR updates, I'm sick of it all.
Long story short, they found 2 pistons that the coating has started to flake off, obviously from a bad prep or contamination. They were going to send the 2 bad ones to a different coater, but I told them to send all 8.. duh! They were all coated at the same time, so the whole batch has been compromised.
At this point, I'm not making anymore pipedream dates on when it'll be ready.

I need to do more homework on the McLeod TOB/slave cylinder piece. As far as shafts, there's only one place that I know of that offers a 26 spline upgrade and I believe you have to send in your factory 10 spline as a core; I really don't want my car to be down for that amount of turn around time......
I gotta figure that out too.....

I was thinking more like the 4th of July.
Same here. That's why I settled on the Centerforce DF; hardly found any bad comments about them.

mod update:
SOS dual gauge pillar pod, ordered.
Looking to have my gauges installed in a week or two
Another item off the list
Shiner Bock Is a pretty good beer. It's not very common out here though. I'll have to head out to Beverages & More to see if they have any and pick up one to reacquaint myself.
Hey Now... Sam Adams is mass produced and it's a great beer. Is the other swill that pretends to be a pilsner that I can't stand.

Congrats on the gauge pillar pod.
Which model Autometers did you decide to go with?

No... in the '89.
But you'll still hear those weights sliding... but only when at idle and pushing the clutch in and out. I don't hear it when driving... the car is too loud.
It's a hard sound to describe. Everybody that I've talked to that has a CF mentions it, but I don't mind it at all. As long as I know that the sound is normal I'm OK with it.
