Meet the Distinguished Gentlemen
The legendary members of CD Club - Nearly 20 years of friendship, chaos, and distinguished drinking
The Original Instigator
Founding Member & Chief Troublemaker
The mastermind behind CD Club's inception. Known for his ability to turn any simple gathering into an legendary adventure. Has perfected the art of planning trips that somehow always involve questionable decisions and memorable stories.
The Voice of Reason
Worry Wort
The group's moral compass and ready to fight the world at large. Also serves as the group's unrequested safety coordinator. Somehow manages to keep everyone alive despite their best efforts. Expert at wearing a backpack, and explaining why certain ideas are "probably not a good idea."
The Treasurer
Chief Documentation Officer
Retains information from everything he has ever read or heard. A walking explanation for the world at large. Once tried to catalog the entirety of the CD Club music library. Often seen with The Wild Card.
The Entertainer
Master Chef & Karaoke King
Never met a microphone he didn't like or a stage he wouldn't commandeer. Guaranteed to find the karaoke bar in any city and convince everyone to participate. His rendition of "Don't Stop Believin'" is both legendary and traumatic. See Karaoke King, the movie for inspiration. Life's too short to drink out of plastic cups.
The Food Critic
Restaurant Scout & Recovering Wine Collector
Has an encyclopedic knowledge of every restaurant, brewery, and food truck within a 50-mile radius of any destination. Can sniff out good barbecue from three states away. If he could carry a wine decanter around, he would.
The Athlete
Professional Bracket Creator & Sports Coordinator
Still believes he's 25 and can play sports like it. Organizes all golf outings and competitive activities, then spends the next day complaining about his back. Keeper of all sports equipment and athletic ambitions. Bud Light is not a spectator sport.
The Man of Mystery
Crustacean Commander
Lives in a far away place, called Newport Beach or so he says. No one ever really knows. Always shows up and disappears into the ethos of mystery.
The Historian
Keeper of Stories & Memory Bank
Remembers every embarrassing detail from every trip, especially the ones everyone else wants to forget. Can recite the exact date, time, and location of any CD Club moment. The living, breathing group memory and Robert Rules of Order expert.
The Wild Card
Unpredictability Specialist & Traveler Extraordinaire
Nobody knows what he's going to do next, including himself. Responsible for the most unexpected moments and spontaneous adventures. If something bizarre happens, he's usually somehow involved.
The Philosopher
Deep Thinker & Life Coach
Always ready with profound insights about life, usually delivered at 2 AM after several drinks. Turns every conversation into an existential discussion. The group's unofficial therapist and wisdom dispenser.
The Wood Worker
Sergeant at Arms / Bad Ass
Never afraid to tackle any CD club with wood. Think rugged meets music. Unafraid to tackle any project on his own, he is a man with a mission.
The Newcomer
Fresh Blood
The newest addition to the group, still figuring out what he's gotten himself into. Brings youthful enthusiasm and occasionally questions the group's methods. Currently in the "learning the ropes" phase.
Memory Lane
Nearly 20 years of friendship, shenanigans, and legendary moments
