TalkBeer 5th Anniversary Celebration in VT

AM I SCREWED?

 

[seedavid]

Yeah I drive a Honda Fit and am planning to be up at open on Thursday. I would really like to not start my trip swallowed up by mud like that horse in The Never Ending Story.

In the past, the other way (I don't remember road names, but the way that takes you past the Willey's Store) has usually been a safer bet when the weather is shitty. Is that still the case?

That horse?!

The horse had a name.

Its name was Artax.

Show some respect to the fictional horse, please.

I was up on Wednesday and T-8/Shadow Lake way to HF was just starting to get bad. Not deep like the pic, just very slick. I wouldn’t try to drive in that way this weekend.

Take Taylor.

 

[MikeJones]

I highly doubt it. I kinda assumed that jeep thing was a joke. Is it not a joke?

AM I SCREWED?

I DIDNT WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT TOO MUCH BECAUSE ITS GONNA MAKE ME CRY

OH GOD

WHHHHYYYYYYYYYY

Probably the first moment I realized that life was fleeting and we're all gonna die someday.

RIP Artax

 

[seedavid]

Take Taylor.

So the official position then is 16 > Taylor Road > Jaffin Flats > Hill Road?

[Dogleg1]

The 16 and Taylor route wasn’t bad on Saturday. The first goat path my GPS sent me (from Stowe) down Baker Hill Road was terrible and I had to turn around.

You guys have fun this weekend.

 

[iong516]

Just had a pretty ridiculous Tired Hands meetup with wuntrikpony caaam and Sam Fu on their way to VT... what brewery sends you home with a bouquet of flowers?

You guys are in for a good weekend, wish I could have taken off some weekdays for travel time.

 

[MikeJones]

Packing beers!

 

[tikk]

How many people are headed to Suarez on the way back Sunday. I may be able to forget that I have a wife and children and get up there at 3:30ish.

don't worry... I'm pretty sure Gene is shutting down the boards while we are away.

 

[user 305963]

4 hours of work standing in the way of a long weekend filled with debauchery and shenanigans! Can't wait to meet all of you.

 

[gregkoko]

Smart. tosh would probably start an uprising while y'all are away

 

[GreenMtnMike]

Safe travels everybody!

 

[user 307594]

The muddy roads by my house were frozen solid this morning so travel might be a little easier.

 

[nathanmiller]

So all the mods will be in a remote location?

Hmmm

Interesting!

we should just shut the site down for the weekend... good time for "maintenance"

I'm getting a weird feeling of deja vu all over again.

 

[user 305963]

Took all of 2 minutes to get thru security.

Contrary to some of you, I stayed away from beer for the last couple days. Liver, sorry about the next few days.

 

[Os]

1. HF is honoring wristbands starting tomorrow. So find Gene or me today or tomorrow.

2. Parker will put on 2 surprise taps tomorrow as well.

 

[axeman91821]

Gird your loins ladies and gentlemen.

 

[jammery]

[MikeJones]

Little bit of Mike Gordon's band with DJPhresh in South Burlington tonight before the festivities begin tomorrow.

Damn, we changed our plans around to go on Sat. Maybe we’ll shoot up there today though. What time will you guys be around? Either way, don’t drink all the good stuff, boys.

 

[BadJustin]

must ignore this thread. Stupid adulting

 

[BadJustin]

also, if anyone happens across an extra glass, you know I am going to ask on the board anyways so, please? Pretty please?

Guessing close to open today

 

[GreenMtnMike]

Guessing open to close today

FTFY

 

[JulianB1]

I hate all of you.

I can't decide if I want to ignore this thread, or hate-read it all weekend. I would also love an extra glass if someone can hook me up, pretty please.

Nothing personal, but I’m just glad I won’t have to hear you sing tmrw night.

Let me check if the plan for me to Skype in is still in the works...

 

[Sam Fu]

MikeJones you the real MVP for the Tums assist

 

[tosh1]

I’ll at least be awake later than usual.

Edit: “conscious”

So we went with the we do not trust Trady approach I guess.

 

[Gene1]

So we went with the we do not trust Trady approach I guess.

By the time I started looking into it, it was back online.

 

[Gene1]

Speaking of learning about a problem when it’s too late to fix, I must apologize to everyone for my terrible ramen breath last night.

 

[jammery]

Waiting for that second shuttle like:
