The '09 Chick Flick was a blast.  We enjoyed providing everyone with hamburgers, ten inch hot dogs and delicious Hopworks beer. 

To all you wonderful ladies: as always, it was a pleasure coming out and seeing you have a good time.  See you at the next Chick Flick if not sooner out on the course.

~Love, Bryan and Co.
