Perfect ending to a stressful day

Don't know if this is humor or a gig story ... but a true story that just happened to me minutes ago.

Had a stressful day at work and left early planning to buy a case of Sierra Nevada (beer) on the way home and get started early and take the rest to rehearsal tonight. Stopped at a red light, a Sierra Nevada truck pulled up next to me and turned right - his back door was open and a keg fell out. I honked and he kept going (into a tunnel towards Oakland - I didn't want to follow him in - especially with kegs bouncing out). I put the keg in my car - called the company to let them know - they said to pretend I never told them I had the keg.

We play a big concert in the park this Friday - so I guess I'll rent a tap and provide refreshments for the band and friends.

The driver will get a nasty surprise when he gets back to the depot, but if they told you to keep it, you're all good.
I don't know what you're supposed do with the empties, I think they go back to the distributor.

Enjoy the beer anyway!

I am still trying to round up a tap/pump ... the places I've tried so far only rent the tap if you buy the keg from them ... and once I get that part solved, then I have to figure out what to do with the empty keg (I think they are $30 deposit - hmmm)

I know the rule in this forum is "pictures or it didn't happen" so here ya go:

My guitar player and I were sitting at a red light in Tuscon, AZ, in a convertible when a guy came running by and as he passed us he tossed a thermos in the car and turned right. Seconds later a cop runs by, chasing the guy. We go a green light and left. When we got back to my place we opened the thermos and there was 100 servings of orange barrell. It was a beautiful weekend in the desert.

I was about to post that no way do I believe your story, but with this evidence, I feel I may owe you an apology.

This explains quite a bit.
