When we were in Illinois this year, our good buddies Joel and Julie invited us to a party at Sol Gardens, which their friends own. Joel also houses all of his lovely little bees here. Bzzzzzz!

We were fortunate to meet a lot of great people, enjoy pig roast and live music, and hang out in the brrrrrr cold weather with some great people.
