Derek! I got a boatload of tomatoes that have your name on them. Hit me up before they go bad.

Hi, Derek - I think I met you at the last week's ASS meeting. I am a novice sailor learning to crew/race at AYC and would love any opportunity to crew/sail with you and other ASS members.

Hey Derek, Thanks for being a great host when I was in Austin a couple of weeks ago. It was a great experience. Take Care- John

Thanks for hosting the climbing Meetup yesterday, and showing us the 'ropes' so to speak. I had a great time!

Hey man! It has been 24 hours. Bubbles are coming out from my airlock. I guess that means my beer is fermenting, right?

have you seen Brew Masters on Discovery? Pretty cool :) my beer turned out really good. thanks for the advice when we met up!

My first batch is bottled, now just need to wait till around Thanksgiving I guess! I'll let you know how it turned out :)

Hi! I am going to try probably over the weekend! Any suggestions for a good first beer? I am going to the Austin Homebrew to pick up a "can" I want to try something easy that is like Sam Adams Boston or a similar lager. Any beginner advice can be Emailed to me :) can't wait to try it!!
