Sounds good, thanks Jim. I think my vehicle is planning to stop at Three Floyds for lunch on the way up. Should hit it around 12:30 if we leave on time. Steven joined my car for way there and back.

Can finalize plans as we get closer, but text me when you guys get going, I'd like to hook up at 3 Floyds for lunch.

When are we planning to get together again??

We may stop at New Holland before we get to Grand Rapids since it is right on the path. Once in Grand Rapids and checked in we'll text you. May not see you until after your dinner. I don't plan to go much of anywhere I cannot get to on a shuttle or by foot after check-in Wednesday evening.

Three Floyd sounds like a great place for lunch. I'm hoping we can leave around the same time as you so we can help load the trailer.

I would like to load trailer night before we leave or sooner. If we wait until morning there is no way we leave on time.

You're a loose cannon. The question mark stays.

I've started working on posters for my beers in keeping with the theme of our booth...

Jim since you missed the club meeting, you didn't see the poster I'd done for your Expedition Stout. Free to use either one.

Brings up a good point. For everyone donating beer for NHC, we need similar posters for each beer, since we're trying to follow a theme on Club Night of "Trademark Infringement." . We won't be using the white board to list the beers. If you can't come up with an idea, just tell me what your beer is, and I'll put something together.

Here's a couple more, one for my creme brulee stout and a "work in progress" on Lee's helles. This will give folks an idea of what we're trying to do.

How about a Harpoon's Summer Ale? Any name/logo ideas?

I've come up with a play on Hunter Specialty sporting goods.

Hunter's Specialty Harpoon. Or maybe Shark killer, Underwater Spear, Underwater Gun.
Thoughts?

Tony, I like your poster for my Stout better than mine!
Are there plans to laminate the posters or any ideas how to hang them?
