I try to make Saturday my day of rest.  After being in the house most of the day, I decided that I needed to go out and get some air.  I decided to go over to SlowPour Brewery located downtown Lawrenceville.  I learned about SlowPour about two years ago when I interview the founder John Allen on the show.  I'm not a beer drinker at all.  The last time I even tasted beer, I was 18 years old and I never had beer after that.  I shared this with John and he assured me that there was a craft beer out there with my name on it.  

Now I can't say that I found one with my name on it at SlowPour, but I did find one that I actually enjoyed.  I didn't think I would like it at all, but I did surprisingly.  So now I know that the next time I go, there's a beer that I can actually drink and enjoy. I loved the atmosphere of SlowPour.  I wanted to play cornholes, but someone was already playing that.  Next time we will take our own games, food and buy the beer there.

One of the things I loved about SlowPour was the family atmosphere.  My daughter was able to bring the baby who had a good time playing with the other kids that were there.  

All in all I had a nice time and look forward to going again.  It's always great to take some time and just relax and enjoy time with your family and friends.

By the way be sure to listen to the Good Morning Gwinnett Podcast Monday-Thursday live at 10am.

Until Next Time
Make It A Great Day!

Monday-Thursday I go live on my show Good Morning Gwinnett where I talk about people and places around Gwinnett County.  The show is a podcast that is syndicated across a number of platforms around the globe.  What I've learned is that Podcasting is very powerful and anyone with something to say can start their own podcast for free.  People love podcasts because it gives them the opportunity to talk about stuff that they are passionate about.  That's what led me to tell you about a new podcast that is in its' third series called Running From Cops.  ​“Running From COPS,” is the third series in the podcast anthology “Headlong,” which “explores the lives of overlooked people, moments and events in our culture,” according to its website. Previous seasons include the viral hit “Missing Richard Simmons,” which explored the disappearance of fitness guru Richard Simmons from the public eye.

Running From Cops talk about a case back in Gwinnett in 2013 where two people were arrested for possession of cocaine.  That case was later determined false and that the cops who did the arrest had falsely accused the two people arrested.  Running From Cops go into dept about the case and bring you more of the story which is very intriguing.  

I share this story with you because I want you to see the power of podcasting.  This case is old, but now it is very relevant again because someone with a passion for telling true crime stories launched a podcast to support their passion.  I love podcasting because it feeds my inner DJ which I didn't know I even had until I started Good Morning Gwinnett.  I knew that I liked to talk, but it never occurred to me when I was podcasting before to include music into my podcast.  Now that I've decided to produce my podcast this way I get a lot of joy out doing the show.
