Wait, Neil was on the bus? I don't remember him being there.
Me neither.
Wait, Neil was on the bus? I don't remember him being there.
I wouldn't put it past Neil to just drive around to all the stops.
It could also be that I'm remembering pics from another night. I vaguely remember Brewery Vivant and HopCat being two of his stops. Regardless, I'm sure the Soper bus would be more fun than I had at BNA last year, although I did meet the Ruler of the Underworld from Societe on the bus there.There were a lot of Zealots on the bus, at least that I remember. Maybe he got hidden?
I'll be hosting an informal mead tasting at some point during the conference....
traditional, habanero, mango, mango habanero, multiberry, blackberry, oaked cherry, lemon/lime, raspberry, and pinot noir pyment...
I am planning (at least at this point!) to retake the tasting exam on Wednesday at 10 AM. Hopefully, I'm not hungover after Tuesday night...............
I want to raise my score, just in case I decide to do the exam for National. My first score didn't suck bad (75) but it's not high enough for National.
Hmm, there are too many options Wednesday night!!!!! I generally do the BNA party. However, one of my club members has a beer tasting dinner he's setting up through a friend that night as well. I really should try to hit the Soper bus this year.
Did they post dates and times yet? They still have them as TBD on BJCP site. I was going to try to get my written in, but not sure if it's going to be before I arrive on Tuesday.

It's not often that you get to hang out with AZ, Soper, and me on a party bus. Just sayin'.
Last year (we were still almost sober here, I think):

As the night went on, there may have been some pole dancing on the bus.

I'm pretty sure they are all on Wednesday, though! Just shoot an email to the underlined person, and they should get right back to you.
Can't wait for the fish tacos. That's one thing we really don't do up here in WI...
Yeah!! as soon as I get off the plane, I'm going to get some fish tacos. Pt Loma Seafood is not far from the airport.
Written is Tuesday at 2PM, so I'll still be in the air (due to land at 3:55PM). I don't think I'm determined enough to change to the only flight that would definitely arrive in time, since I'd have to wake up at 3AM to catch that one.

Darn! If only it was Wednesday and you could make it. I'll give you my phone number before the conference so you can text/call when you get in if you want to find the 30th Street things together. I will have a car that day, and would be glad to pick you up.
Should we go for the pink Hummer this year?
Working where/for who?
I'm still trying to decide if I want to buy the banquet ticket. I haven't been very impressed, pretty much in 6 years. If I don't go, any recommendations of what I could be doing to burn the Saturday night?
I'm game for whatever. I was almost tempted to go because a fellow whale member has 6 entries moving on but since I'd be the only one from the club there, it wouldn't be as fun. Uber or cab is fine with me.
I work for Stout Tanks in Portland. I do all of the commercial brewery sales.
Well at least I know you aren't the poor dude I'm hassling over email right now.
Six entries moving on is impressive! (Especially with a limit of 5 )
You could do something with me. I have no idea what that will be, but if I don't drink (fairly unlikely but it has happened by Saturday dinner time!) I would even drive. Otherwise, I was thinking uber or a cab to somewhere.
I think Hello is at loose ends also (?).
I enjoyed the banquet a couple of times, but now it's just a too-long thing for me.
