Got our tix already.
We were going to come up Friday, but it turns out we have other plans for Friday night, so we will be leaving Saturday morning.
HurricaneFloyd, if you want to meet somewhere just off I-64 we can ride the rest of the way down together.
They updated the beer list. I am shooting sparks out of my ass for Kuhnhenn out of Michigan. AWESOME beers. I hope they have the pumpkin beer there.

I was at American Brewmaster when the tickets came in & swiped the first pair. We waited too long to get tix last time and ended up missing out.

You *still* have the 6.6.6 in the secondary?!Dude said:
I don't know that I'll have any HB available given my current situation, but I might have a little of the current IPA and Wit (which is a total failure as a Wit, but a good Wheat beer).

I don't know Dude..... are you going to be driving a Green and Yellow station wagon with that Go Pack Go song playing the whole way? Oops, wrong thread... 
What time were you planning on leaving your house? I think we're leaving kind of early on that Saturday so we can get down to the hotel by 10am so I think we may be gone by the time you drive through fabulous downtown Richmond. BB worked out a bit of a schedule for me, BB and Walker and their posse were going to pick us up at the hotel around 11 or so (hopefully we can get an early check in).
I'll be bringing some brews as well; the Avery Porter Clone and Papazian's DFH 60 minute IPA clone. Hopefully they can measure up! :cross:
Are we still on for poker? How much $$$$$?

Here's what I'm thinking, suggestions are welcome:
We meet at my house Sat. morning ~ 11ish. We have 2 minivans and 2 designated drivers (me and Walker). After the brewfest we go back to my house for food (suggestions, please), homebrew sampling & Texas Hold-em ($10 buy-in). If anyone has a Cobra Tap (ball lock) please bring it.

I'm in Baltimore for the next 2 days, so I may not be at the computer much--but I'll plan on bringing my travel kegerator with a 3 gallon keg of Lake Walk or prolly the nice and hoppy Solid Gold.
I also have a cobra tap--I'll bring it.
The plan so far sounds good. Let's lock down the specifics soon.

Sounds good. I'll have to do some daddy stuff at some point in the evening, but everything sounds cool by me.

Man this sounds cool.
I don't suppose there's anyone from the Washington D.C./Baltimore area that's going/that would be interested in going?

Okay, I'm in! Bought my ticket to the festival, and I'll bring the keg of SNCA-clone Boston and I brewed ~6 weeks ago. That one's lookin' good. I have a 1/2 keg of IPA and 3/4 keg of Kolsch on tap, which I could also save and bring; any problems letting it sit in the fridge for another few weeks? I've never had a brew last more than a few weeks after kegging
So, what's the plan for grilling? I say we do a bunch of tri-tip and pork tenderloin. I'll see if I can score some Santa Maria dry rub for the tri-tip from someone at work travelling out to the left coast, and I've got a great tenderloin sauce made from apricot jam, Old Bay, and Wild Turkey. :rockin:

What game did you go to?
At the rate we're going we'll have more varieties of beers after the brewfest than there'll be at the brewfest. 
Nosnhojhoser, your meat plan sounds awesome, I vote we go that route, maybe throw in some Italian sausages & some bratwurst (for that Packer's fan from Hampton, VA).
Dude, I took the girls up to Camden Yards to see their beloved Red Sox last fall. Great ballpark, great city, great time. 7 hour drive IIRC.

Here's who we have so far and what they can bring:
Mr. & Mrs. Dude: Homebrew, Brats & Cobra tap
Nosnhojr: Homebrew, Tri-tips
Beerluvngirl: Homebrew, dessert
Sailman: Beerluvngirl, straitjacket
Mr. & Mrs. HurricaneFloyd: Homebrew, handcuffs, mace, chips & salsa?
Mr. & Mrs. Walker-san: Homebrew, Baked beans?, Cole slaw?
Bostonbrewin': Homebrew, Italian sausages, misc. stuff
Baron von Beegee: Can you score some C***n cigars?
Did I forget anybody? Nothing is written in stone, just suggestions. Walker, we may need your grill. If Dude & Nosnhojr could be the grillmasters that would be great. Floyd, Sailman & Walker keep the beer cold & flowing. Ladies in charge of everything else. Bostonbrewin' just runs around helping wherever he can. We can fine-tune this over the next few weeks. Don't forget to wear your GRABASS t-shirts!

The shack of a Mexican restaurant directly across the street ain't half bad for taking the "edge off" a night at the Saucer, either!sailman said:
