Find me in a random root beer barrel
Root beer?

What is a blog? For us it is a short blurb that we write when the mood strikes us. It can be first person, funny or informative. In short, a blog is whatever we want it to be. Published July 1, 2009 at 5:41 p.m.

On Friday, July 3, at some point during the day, I'll be slinging soda from a random root beer barrel. If you find me, say hello, and I'll buy you a soda.

No, I'm not moonlighting on OnMilwaukee.com. Instead, I am doing research for OnMilwaukee.com's latest series of articles, "Shift Switch." For the next year or so, the OnMilwaukee.com writers will work other jobs -- most of which are "very Milwaukee" in some way -- and write about the experience. For example, Senior Editor Drew Olson made burgers at George Webb and served beer at Summerfest.

As long as it's not disgustingly hot, I am looking forward to working the barrel. Who knows, maybe I'll discover that "soda jerk" is my true calling.

Pepsi, anyone?
