Default National Homebrew Day Plans?

So, as most of you know, May 5th is the observed National Homebrew Day for 2012 (as May 7th is the actual day).

What do you all have planned for that day/weekend?

I got the day off of work, so I'll be brewing 2 batches with my friend (who will also be brewing 1-2 batches). Leaning towards 5gal of Cream Ale, and 5gal of a DIPA.

The beer will be flowing, and we're planning on having quite the get-together of people interested in learning, drinking, & celebrating.

I probably won't be drinking wine . Seriously, thanks for the reminder, I usually forget these occasions. National Burrito Week, National Margarita Day, National Talk Like a Pirate Day, National Cotton Candy Day ... missed them all last year ...

Ha! edit: I love them but always forget them too!

GF’s B-day is that weekend… she’d probably be pissed if I brewed! Thinking about making a Dunkelweizen…btw, anyone know when the new season of ‘Americas Next Top Hooker’ starts?

Sadly I will not be brewing, but I will be drinking plenty that day. I have my future in-laws coming over to meet my parents that day, so there will be much need for the homebrews!

http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f14/aha-big-brew-day-2012-plans-316718/

We plan on brewing the Buck Snort Brown in AG and extract at our LHBS and have hot scotchies for the noon toast.
