we play

embrace the day

give hugs

hunt monsters, bugs

play tag
throw balls

build forts, high walls

draw maps
find treasures

cherish simple pleasures

get wet
feel joy

i so love this little boy

We talked about what we do at Drink and Click™ and how it started. There are some great stories and photo shares from the chapters they lead, discussion of architecture photography, a generous assortment of “that’s what she said” jokes, and fun and merriment all around.

We ended by announcing the winners of April’s Architecture Challenge - Joel Horwath, Kenny Shepard, and Jeff Matsuya (1st, 2nd, and 3rd). Congratulations, guys! Great work. Thanks so much to our prize sponsors: SmugMug, XUME Adapters http://www.xumeadapters.com, and  Trey Ratcliff‘s Stuck In Customs.

Remember to watch us every month on the second Wednesday at  9:30 PM CST. We think you’ll enjoy yourselves, and you never know who (or what) you might see on the show!

There’s a rumor that Juan drank 7 beers before we even got through the technical difficulties at the beginning of our attempt to broadcast. See what you think…
