Hotel is booked, but there's a Residence Inn and a Courtyard a couple of blocks away. "!
Do you have the addresses of these hotels ( or of the host hotel, that's now full?), so that i don't book something in the wrong part of Phily?
Thanks,

Sort of a repeat of what was said above - but be SURE you register yourself first, and then add a guest. The site says "if you want to add a guest.....", but I did that first, and I screwed up. Right now, I'm a "registered guest", instead of a member, and I can't add a guest, as I'm "max'd out" on my registration.

Did social ticket.. figured seminars are taped and i can watch online later.. i hope that wasn't a stupid decision.
what are the pre-confrence tours? If you want an idea on bars to hit, I (and rest of the philly guys) can certainly help with that.
Wow- took me an hour to get on the website- and "boom"- full. I'm "waitlisted" for the whole conference, but registered for Friday/Saturday.
I was considering judging anyway, and that's on Thursday, so it's not a big deal. Plus, if someone drops out I can attend Thursday's conferences. Thursday's seminars are repeated, so I won't "miss" anything. But wow- sold out in an hour! That must be a new record.
I'm trying to keep my outside the conference spending down close to $1200 so far for weds-sat hotel and 2 tickets.
Tired Hands is the one place I've got on my must visit list. What else do you suggest?
I'm told by a few NHC vets that many, if not most of the seminars feature samples. So you'll get the info, but not whatever they're pouring.
Yeah that's what I figured, certainly won't be a shortage of "samples" even with just the social ticket.
Now, parking.. while lucky enough to book Marriott in time, didn't realize the $46/day parking fees!!!!

Oh, I LOVE the seminars! You sit next to whomever you want, and get to rub elbows with the nicest people.
I think by Friday AM, I was the ONLY HBT person going to the seminars at 8:30 AM!
I dragged Soper's ass out of bed at about noon for lunch. His lame excuse was that he stayed up all night.
It's a "pace yourself" kind of thing. First beers served at 8 AM-ish, and last ones at about 4 AMish. You can grab something to eat around 6 AM, and even take a shower before it starts again.
That's what I did - you can restart, do yourself as member and use code AHANOOB instead of your member number to register your guest.

What are the "can't miss" parts of the weekend? Do the pro/club night events have a limit on how many people can enter?
I too hope to pace myself and be able to participate in a full day of seminars Friday. This will be my first NHC and I am VERY excited!

Wait till I tell my wife I have to start training for NHC.It's a "pace yourself" kind of thing. First beers served at 8 AM-ish, and last ones at about 4 AMish.
Yeah, I was thinking about renting a car- but at $46/day parking? No way!
Kind of like waiting in line at 5 AM for concert tickets when I was young!I have a real bad feeling about 3:00:01pm haha, Just like when concert tix open and everyone floods the system at the same time...oh the anxiety

I did book early today at the hotel, though. So I have a room!
For those of you looking for parking, try this lot I have linked. It is $5 for a full day of parking on most days. I use it all the time. Its only a few blocks from the hotel you guys are staying at.

sold out in an hour... wow!

Well that sucked. The website was crashing for almost an hour. By the time I got through, I only secured Friday/Saturday and got waitlisted for Thursday. What I want to know is who the hell is just booking Thursday?
twiddling my thumbs. This will be my first one and I am going solo. Here goes nothin..

same as I. This will be my first NHC and I did opt for the volunteering gig if offered. It is a shame as I will be out there sitting around in a bar waiting to get in friday.
I am a little confused why thursday would sell out but fri/sat would stay open. I mean, its at the same location? Not like the room gets any bigger because its friday.
I am curious about the waitlisted thing, as I am not optomistic that anyone will decide to cut their weekend short and go to fri/sat. I was regestered by 4pm EST.
*Edit, Spoke too soon, just got an email stating that my waitlisted for full conference and a guest just opened up. See you all Thursday!
Then we all go to register and there is this "Almost Full Conference" mumbo jumbo for $195
Hey, did you guys get your beer out of your barrel yet?
KaSaBiS said:I will add that I am excited to learn more about the BNA8. Between the BN, and you fine folk, take most all the credit for my brewing skills today, I would love to finally put a face to some names, pay respects, and drink happily ever after
Agreed! I'm going up Wednesday solely for the sake of BNA8!!
