[tony b]

Registration info is out. March 8th is the day @ 11am Central time. No Pre-registration this year - 1st come, 1st served. They claim they're be enough tickets for everyone to get in.

Looks like they're allowing stand alone Social Packages again w/o a companion Full Conference.

Cool, I have yet to make a seminar in my two visits. I tend to keep rock star hours at that event. Seminars are great, but I am worthless most of the time at that conference. Luckily you can watch the presentations online. You miss out on the samples to go along with it though.

Couldn't get a picture, but the taps were inside the jail cell and it was self serve, so it was tough to get in and out. The tap handles were all homemade shives. And, the toilet was no other than the Golden Pissoir!! Yep, the real one.

Make your tap bar into a pirate ship on wheels and push it around all night serving beer. Trust me, these folks were beat by the end of the night.

Hope this inspires all you folks to be thinking about what we're going to do, as we will definitely be bringing our A game, and not just the quality of our beers.
