Beth Ann, Terra and I grabbed a bite to eat then took in the show. As usually, with Beth Ann hi-jinks...

I have not downloaded any new iPhone app is a long time. But Guinness just released a new app so I couldn’t refuse. What better way to find the closest pint of Guinness than to pull out your iPhone and fire this app up. I am going out to LA for a week so I will get to test the Guinness app out in a city that I am not familiar with. It should be fun. Here are some of the features.
