Durham, NC Brewfest '07

[Dude]

Man, I can't wait.....SWMBO and I are psyched.

 

[Boston]

Still have a pair of tiks for the evening session if anyone needs them.

You shouldn't have any trouble selling them....

Appreciate the info. I'd rather sell them to a HBT member who needs them but it's nice to know there are options.

By the way, the pic of you in your younger days cracks me up every time I see it.

BUMP

2 weeks away. Dude +1, Focus +1, Nate +1, Boston +1

Anyone else?

Check that. It's Focus + 3

 

[Dude]

Where is Beegee?

 

[Focus]

Walker is conspicously absent as well. What gives?

 

[Boston]

I don't know where BeeGee has been. Walker's been busy at work and his wife is due within the next couple of weeks IIRC.

 

[Professor Frink]

I can't believe I missed this thread so far. I'll be there

 

[Walker]

I won't be attending the festival. Wife is due to pop out our new son any time now.

But, I do plan to come by the after party, and maybe the pre-party gathering if there is one.

brewgrass festival, last I heard from him.

 

[NChomebrewer]

I found this thread late but I am going. The wife and I went in 2005. Last year we stayed local and went to the Charlotte Oktoberfest but I like the Durham festival a lot better. It's less than two weeks away!

 

[Boston]

The afterparty will be at The Flying Saucer (Downtown Raleigh) and then on to The Village Draft House (Cameron Village) for dinner and more beer.

NCHomebrewer and Prof. Frink: If you want to join up with us we'd love to meet you. PM me your cell phone numbers. Remember, we're all going to the 12-4 session.

[Professor Frink]

Damn, I'm going to the evening session, I had to hedge my bets in case the SWMBO had to work during the day. If the after party is still going on late, maybe I'll meet up with you guys.

 

[Baron von BeeGee]

Where is Beegee?

Like the guys said, busy at work and just got back from the Brewgrass Festival in Asheville. I'm going to skip the beerfest but I might meet you guys at the Saucer if I don't go to the races that night.

BTW, check your e-mail...

 

[Dude]

BTW, check your e-mail...

Which e-mail? I didn't get anything...it may have gone to junk.....

 

[Nate]

Anyone know any pet friendly hotels near the festival? Anyone interested in the discounted room at the host hotel (Millenium)? We may have to bring our dog...

You mean we get to meet the actual Jackie Boy? What an honor!

 

[Focus]

While I've got an audience here, and on a related subject to the primary topic, is anyone but Boston interested in Wilmington two weeks later...

Possibly. Poor dogger is 14 1/2 now and starting to struggle a little so we're trying to bring him. He basically needs more attention than the kennel can give him.

 

[Boston]

As much as we'd like to go to the Wilmington brewfest, we're gonna have to pass. We've got a bike trip in the works and the free weekends are filling up fast.

[Professor Frink]

It looks like the Best Western on I-70 in Durham is ok with dogs, looks like they have some rooms left for saturday night.

Appreciate it...

 

[Focus]

So are we all set?

I have Boston's # and he has mine. Anyone else that we need to get telephonic contact with?

Based on my 15 min early showtime last time, I missed 45 min of beer drinkin', so we're planning on showing at 1115. Anybody got good directions from the east? We'll be coming up I-40 into Raleigh.

[Boston]

Beth and I will be there ~ 11:00 on the first base side, same as last year.

Dude, what's the weather forecast?

Are there any options this year besides hotter than hell and sunny?

OMFG--you actually ahve a SWMBO? And we might get to actually meet this SWMBO? HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Weather = mid 80's, cloudy, muggy.

Might be too hot for beer related work shirts this year. I'm still wearing an Iron Orr brewery work shirt though.

 

[joebou4860]

Is everyone heading to the saucer right after the 'fest?
I am trying to convince SWMBO to come up and meet you.

Yes, I have a SWMBO and she can't wait to meet you. She wants to find out for herself if you're as big a ********* as I've made you out to be.

So your SWMBO wants to meet Dude, too? SWMBO and I will be at the Saucer ~ 5 PM, I'm not positive what everyone else's plans are. I'll be wearing a Miller High Life brewery worker shirt and a Red Sox cap. Tall, exceedingly good looking.
