Wow, looks like I better borrow a liver from somebody. Who is going to carry me back to the hotel? Oh yeah, I am staying with Jeremy and Tim.

The website says that there are still tickets available for the social package, but when I try to register a friend, it says that the event is closed. Anybody know if the social packages are sold out yet?

I'll carry you to bed, ummm, I mean the hotel!

Funny thing is with that line up it really does look like we are going to need a cab to get us across the street from the drop off hotel to where we sleep. We may not have need hotels after all, as my guess is we are going to be past out, just outside the doors of the drop off hotel.

Thanks for the Replys.

I am still not quite sure I understand this conference.

At other (non-beer) conferences, there are usually vendors selling or demonstrating their products. Is there stuff like that?

Thanks,

Leo

I'm not sure if there will be much for vendor booths. With Northernbrewer as a sponsor and John Blichmann as a speaker there may be some equipment to see.

Here's a link to the conference website. http://www.ahaconference.org/

This is my first NHC, but it is mostly a series of parties with seminars and a final ceremony beer dinner to announce winners at the NHC. I am sure there will be some vendors but that would be more of a side show.

Since the NHC is next week, we should start coordinating rides for those of us who want to carpool.

I'm leaving on Wednesday in time for the BN anniversary party. I plan to return on Sunday morning, but could be persuaded to leave on Saturday night if anyone else doesn't want to stay an extra day in the hotel.

Departing: Wed around noon

I also plan to leave Wednesday noonish. As far as I know I have Tim and Jeremy with me. I was going to take my Green Machine which legally seats 8, but practically it will seat 4 for a road trip with some luggage. Unloaded it could haul several people around during down time between NHC events. If you are by yourself Lee we may have some car pooling consolidation opportunities.

The boy and I are heading up Wed. - returning Sunday. The 2 of us and our crap will be a carload though. See you there!

John and I have a similar schedule (Wednesday - noonish and Sunday - early afternoon).

I just can't wait. I have not been this excited for a road trip since Jerry died.

It's going to be a long strange trip...

We're going to NHC, not droping acid right?

Wow, Tim.

That was Aug. 1995. Almost 15 years ago.
