Yes, outside of Michael Jackson, it is a pretty slow news day. Yesterday, President Obama held a luau for members of Congress at the White House, which included a dunk tank. While the sinking of press secretary Robert Gibb was captured on film, what we sadly have no pictorial evidence of is the report that First Daughter Sasha Obama was responsible for getting Rahm Emanuel all wet in the dunk tank (the press had been booted at that point). The luau was Obama's way of bringing his own personal touch to the president's annual picnic via his co-home state of Hawaii. We guess next year's will be an Illinois theme featuring Goose Island, brats, and cornhole, right?

Flossmoor Station Brewpub and Restaurant has this nice little luau-themed brewmaster dinner planned for next Tuesday at 6 p.m. The guest of honor for the event will be Wil Turner, the extraordinarily talented brewmaster for Goose Island's Clybourn brewpub. Andrew Mason, Flossmoor Station's head brewer, said in an e-mail that Turner will be bringing along Goose Island's 20th Anniversary Celebration ale and a Belgian black ale called "Noire."
