The Second Annual Masstoberfest 10/3/09

[paulthenurse]

It took me a few minutes to figure out what you meant, I'm assuming you are asking about babysitting duties. I'll ask her if she's available. Alice won't be home till late in the day, she's taking her mother and daughter to Italy and they get back that evening.

PTN

A day trip to Italy............. I bet I know where you stand on Obamacare

 

[CrankyOldLibrarian]

Damn, I just found out that I'm scheduled to work on the 3rd. I'm going to try and switch shifts with someone.

Oh, if anyone is Minuteman Library Network card holder, the Waltham Public Library now has subscriptions to Brew Your Own and Winemaker magazines.

 

[paulthenurse]

Always good to have a librarian in the family, you get first shot at all the good mags. Hey Cranky, do you spend any time searching for the American Pie Secret Manuel under the bottom shelves?

And no, Babalu, they are going on a cruise not a daytrip. But you are probably correct in your assumption of what I think about Obamance. Everyone better start taking vitamins and a lot of them.

Tea, lots of tea

My first thought when reading this was, they are going to ask the Pope for PTN's redemption, or something like that... Papal-ER sorta!

...or the Malbec has taken a turn for the worse and is in need of Papal blessing? OTHO, the Pope is from Munich... hmm.

 

[paulthenurse]

Ya that's it, I'm gettin' a mulligan from da Pope.

PTN

 

[Bulls Beers]

How many mulligans can one person get????

 

[Hippie]

Paul, it has come to my notice that you are having your event on the same night as the Bruin's season opener vs. Carolina and NESN isn't braodcasting it...

I find myself quandried and I am no longer as confident to my presence.

 

[paulthenurse]

You can get to the Garden in a half hour from here. FYI

 

[paulthenurse]

I think but am not sure that a Pope mulligan trumps a regular mulligan. So I'm still good. Assuming he plays along. That's the thing, if he does a 20/20 on the details I'm screwed!

 

[CrankyOldLibrarian]

Hey Cranky, do you spend any time searching for the American Pie Secret Manuel under the bottom shelves?

PTN

Now you know why I decided to become a librarian. So far no luck, but the hunt continues.

 

[paulthenurse]

Ya but did you get the day off?

PTN

 

[the_bird]

So, is October 3rd locked down as the date?

 

[paulthenurse]

Carved in stone.

PTN

 

[CrankyOldLibrarian]

Ya but did you get the day off?

PTN

Yeah, I just switched with someone so Kim & I will be there.

 

[paulthenurse]

Cool, I would have felt bad telling you to send Kim even if you couldn't make it. I would have done it but I would have felt bad.

PTN

 

[Melana]

Sorry Paul, I have to sit this one out. Enjoy.

 

[the_bird]

Oh, that sucks Melana, I was really hoping to get to meet the wee one.

 

[Cape Brewing]

Hey Paul... I have... I dunno... maybe two or three pounds of left over pork in our freezer from our pig roast. I was thinking about bringing it in case your hog comes out the way it normally does... I figure I would still have something decent to eat.

Is there somewhere I could heat it up? Maybe a stove burner I could use for a couple of minutes? Or should I pack my little camping stove?

 

[paulthenurse]

That's a real shame, Melana. Are John and Leah going to be able to make it?

And Brian, I'm sure we can find an unused burner on the stove for you.

PTN

 

[paulthenurse]

Happy B-day to Bulls Beers.

PTN

 

[Melana]

I don't know if John is planning on attending.

 

[CrankyOldLibrarian]

Cool, I would have felt bad telling you to send Kim even if you couldn't make it. I would have done it but I would have felt bad.

PTN

I don't blame you since she can drink more than me, and is hell of a lot more useful than me on wine making day.

(By the way, I picked up a dirt cheap wine press & crusher that I am going to restore this winter.)

 

[Bulls Beers]

Happy B-day to Bulls Beers.

PTN

Thanks man...I spent the day painting my living room...

 

[homebeerbrewer]

Hey Paul, is there any place to list what people are bringing? BTW, Judy and I are planning on coming.

 

[paulthenurse]

Not yet, but this would be a good place to do so.

So what are you and the lovely Judy bringing?

PTN

 

[CrankyOldLibrarian]

Thanks man...I spent the day painting my living room...

Happy Birthday! And, I hope you have something just a little more fun planned for the evening.

 

[homebeerbrewer]

I'll have Judy make a crock pot of her delicious clam chowdah.

Edit: a crock pot may not be enough, unless we serve a condiment cup sized portion. How much will we need?

 

[paulthenurse]

Whatever anyone brings will be cheerfully and gratefully accepted and gobbled up by one and all.

PTN

 

[homebeerbrewer]

Yeah, it'll be gobbled up by at least one, but not all I'm afraid. I'll see how much she's willing to do before I commit her to making a cauldron full of chowdah.

 

[paulthenurse]

Really don't fret about it, Rick. The way these things always work out is that everybody brings something and there is a ton of food and a ton of beer and no-one gets too worked up about anything. We're all just there to have a good time, this isn't the Food Network.

(Ok the beer geeks take the beer part pretty seriously but that's about it.)

 

[paulthenurse]

Speaking of which, here's what I plan on having beerwise.

One corny of Porter, two cornies of Clean Out the Brew Closet Amber Ale, a corny of Weisse and a corny of Funkalicious Belgian.

PTN

 

[Sumo]

Hey, who's thinking about signing up for the ompetition and what are you thinking of entering.

I'm going to enter my porter, a Belgian funkadelic that I have going on downstairs and maybe my IPA.

I'll enter my Oatmeal Imperial, Milk Stout, and Barley wine. How many others are entering?

 

[paulthenurse]

So far it's me and you, Al.

Lucky for you we're not in any of the same catagories or I'd...I'd... I'd... I don't know what but you wouldn't want me to do it.

PTN

 

[Sumo]

Has anyone ever met Alastair or does he just send his bottles everywhere?

I brew with him now every month or so, or he comes by my place.

 

[beergears]

Thanks man...I spent the day painting my living room...

What color?
bordeaux or burgundy...?

Edit/Geek: in hexadecimal, it is 800000

No one likes a show off.

I beat him @ Topsfield with the 4th beer I ever made.

Knowing Brian it was Bordeaux. Definately Bordeaux.
