Maybe point and laugh? Give them **** at our next meeting? I dont know, I wouldnt be offended. Stewart entered his beers with the club name Church of Zymurology or something.

All of my compassion is contained in my lambchops. Lucky for you.
There's no reason to complain about the BN.
1) We could all decide to enter Miller Brewing Company as our club and they'd have to honor it.
2) Beginning this year you could send your beer to any region. As a practical matter, ASH had to send beers to San Diego and Lodi as San Diego got filled up.
3) Do any of your clubs take attendance or make sure people are in good standing before they send off beers? Should the AHA be able to audit those records? Some of our members attend only once or twice a year to an event or meeting. How do you quantify that?
4) The BN probably meet IRL more often than you think. They drink each others beers. They are a club.
5) If anyone has an issue, it's probably DOZE.

ollllo!!!! FOR. The.... WIN!
(pic, not the 'love everyone' post).
And I am really not that fired up over the BN thing. I just dont agree with the principal of it. I dont see how you would feel good about winning it that way.

What I want to see is how many West Coasters actually make it out to Philly in '13.
Well, we'll see. I've been to Philly once before and enjoyed it quite a bit. I'd be up for a trip back.

is it for sure in philly?
It was advertised a couple times this year as "Philly 2013" so I would think it would have to be pretty solid for the AHA to mention it.
I'll be there. Sorry I missed you in SD, Bobby.

The only mention of Philly I can find on Flickr, but this was displayed at the Grand Banquet in front of a nearly 2000 and was on signs around the conference so it should be solid:
That little "philly 2013" blurb is also in the program book. Denny, I think I was in a general haze starting with Wednesday night sampling at the Lost Abbey tasting room. It was probably the longest sustained .2+ blood alcohol level I've ever sustained. Woooo!

In my opinion, the bigger failure to attend is people closer to the conference. Just comb through this thread and witness it.
If ill go to St. Paul, I'll definitely be going to Philly.
I'm going to try to RV it up to Seattle with the Family, pick my brother up in Scro-town and head up north through the Lost coast.

I'm not calling anyone out BTW.
I'm saying that a plane ride make it prohibitive for some. Those people don't even consider going. Period.
Those that live a car ride away are more likely to say they are going to go and hold on to that intent longer.
Therefore, you'll literally see way more people in the greater Philly area declare they are going and then don't make it for a number of (valid) reasons. I'm sure that happened this year too.
Well, I'm definitely in for Seattle, as our club will be involved again including cellar mastering. We went to San Diego as our dry run this year. (GEBL, Greater Everett Brewers League)
There is an above average chance I'll make Philly as well as I spent most of my life 50 miles north of Philly in Allentown PA. Philly is a great historic city, but can get a bit scary if you wander too far off the beaten path.
I'm guilty of this for this year's. I live maybe 10 miles from where it was held. Unfortunately life got in the way. Maybe next time, I really would have liked to serve at club night and sit in on a couple talks.
I'm saving up for Seattle already! I have it on my calendar for next year. I really wanted to go this year, but life got in the way. I think I'm going to have to go every other year, and not every year, to keep peace in my family.
I've gone to 2008, 2010, and I'll go 2012. It'd be nice if it would be closer to me, like in Chicago, sometime. An expensive plane ticket along with the hotel, and of course the cost of the conference itself has been prohibitive for me. It's about a $1200 weekend, and I go alone. That's tough.

Well, man, I guess you drank my share! I think I may have set a record for the least amount of beer ever consumed at NHC! I was definitely at less than 3 pints/day. I guess that's one of the advantages (?) of having heart problems!
I now have another t-shirt for Seattle
Oh, heck yeah!!!!! :rockin:
