The Second Annual Masstoberfest 10/3/09

[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

 

[paulthenurse]

No one likes a show off.

PTN

 

[Sumo]

No one likes a show off.

PTN

:cross:

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

Knowing Brian it was Bordeaux. Definately Bordeaux.
