  Hey guys, I'm in Orlando for the week and want to make a stop at GRM headquarters. There were some old news items about the new location, etc. but I can't seem to dig them up now.

  Should I just give you guys a call to set something up?

  Thanks,

  DJ

  If you want to visit with anyone in particular, yes, you should give us a call. (David, Scott and Per are all out of the office today and tomorrow, for example.)

  For a general visit, feel free to swing by: We're at 915 Ridgewood Ave. in Holly Hill, Fla., and office hours are 9-5, though there are almost always people here before and after that. And midweek you can be part of Walk-in Wednesdays, so named by us because, well, everyone seems to walk in that day.

  We can also recommend the finest Daytona eateries. Mmmm...tacos.

  I tried drag racing, but kept blowing the apex for turn 2...

  I heard there's Free Beer at GRM HQ after 3PM (noon on Saturdays). Is that right?

  This is only true if you bring the beer. The free part is for us.

  So if we bring beer, you can drink on the job? Unfair.

  Don't worry. If you bring us beer, we'll totally share with you.

  I'm trying to convince the girl that we need to put florida on our road trip this summer when we take our tour of the eastern US in the $2010 Challenger, so if that goes down, i'll bring some beer and try to make sure you all get a day behind.

  There's usually a couple of folks in the office except for the eves and holidays. Best to call ahead if you're looking for somebody specific.

  We eat there frequently, and I've never heard of anyone complain about their meal. Pretty much everything is good. Super nice folks too!

  So, what brand of free beer is most appreciated? Oh, and I mean BEER, not watered down crap.

  If you bring Fat Tire I'll be your pal. We can't get it here in FLA.

  Bring them some Steel Reseve 211. It truly the GRM beer. About $1.50 for a 24oz and 8.1% ABV none of that pansy 4.something % most beers have. 5.2% Fat Tire for Joe

  We did have some "bribe the judge" challenge beer from this past October for awhile in our breakroom. I just checked and someone drank all of it. What nerve. It was good quality stuff too..ie: Pabst & Old Milwaukee....

  See, this shows that everything is relative:

  "Good quality": PBR, Old Mil, Volkswagon, etc.

  The first person to bring me Orion beer (it's JDM, yo.) gets a wicked discount on the Project Neon or a free T-shirt.
