Let me define "irony" for you:
I received a phone call from Jessica at Black Star Co-op yesterday. She said, and I now quote from their newsletter:
Thanks to a strong showing at the Beer Social, we've passed the 1,000 member-owner milestone! Congratulations to Jon Loeliger who won the gift bag from our 1,000th member-owner raffle. As of 6/24, the Co-op's membership is 1,013 strong and continues to grow.
That's right, as President of the Central Texas *Wine* Guild, I've won the 1000-th member raffle award at the Black Star Beer Co-op.
Just thought you should know.
