For those of you that plan to go to the NHC you better get your tickets soon. This event is predicted to sell out before the end of March. Here is what I received from the AHA today.


National Homebrewers Conference On Track to Sell Out Fast

The National Homebrewers Conference, June 17-19, 2010, is already 60 percent sold-out. The early bird registration deadline is March 31, but if you are planning to attend, don’t wait to register. We expect to sell out before the early bird deadline, as in past years.

Got our tickets bought today for the BN5 party at Northern Brewer on Wednesday night. Should be a blast with all the BN cast there.

I just registered for the conference & the BN5 party. I'll be staying at the Sheraton.

I'd like to attend the seminars, but only the social packages were left so I'm on a waiting list for the full conference option.

How are you registering for the Northern Brewer party? Their web site says tickets go on sale the 21st.

I called NB, and they told me I could not buy a ticket until April 21st. What gives?

OK. So you can do it at the Brewing Network store. NB is advertising the tickets for $20 on sale April 21st. BN is selling them for $35 right now. NB had no idea that BN was already selling these. Also, the BN site suggests these are VIP tickets.

Anywho, I got my tickets for the party.

It's my understanding that the VIP tickets get you on the bus and in the door an hour early, along with access to special brews and food. Sounds worth it to me.

I agree. The cab ride from Bloomington to Roseville would be about $50.

The party should be awesome. The bus ride alone is worth the cost of a ticket. Hangin out with the asshats from the BN priceless. Food from Paxton will be a plus. There should be an after hours party back at the hotel according to Justin. If I'm still alive. Man I hope I'm not too old for this.

Love to attend, but we've already booked the hotel starting on Thursday night. Will have to work on sleeping arrangements to be able to work this out.

Suggestions?
