>In 1984, I went to Kansas for an auction. At the end of the day, I wanted to have a cold one, so I stopped at a hotel that had a bar. After asking the bartendress for a Bud, she asked if I was a member of their club. Expecting to be hit up for a few bucks, I said no, and asked what the requirements were. She pulled out a ledger, told me to write down my name, and then handed me a beer. That was it.
