Rat Pack, meet the Twin Cities’ Zap Pack

I have wonderful friends.

A few of us have been gathering at taprooms around the Twin Cities. And, since I was the one who had orchestrated these gatherings, one of my friends christened our group the Zap Pack (a play on my surname, as well as a reference to the classic Rat Pack).

I am respectfully declining the mantle of Zap Pack leader since we are equals here … but I am flattered and honored.

An honor to be among such fine folks … and to have a pack named after me. Who’s lucky? This guy, right here. Thanks! https://t.co/FvBS9e4Fw9 — Julio Ojeda-Zapata (@ojezap) September 17, 2015

Mike Evangelist whipped up the wonderful illustration at the top of this post, by the way.
