Looks like they moved the BN Party to Thursday night since no pro night. We need to discuss if we still plan to go on Wednesday. If not we'll need to see if we can change the hotel reservations.

Steven, in the past this has been one of the best events at NHC. This year's sounds even better. Food is included and they usually have free busses to it. You are going to want a ticket I think. I just got mine.

When I got mine there was one VIP ticket left for $85. I went with the standard $50 and used my mobile. The BN party I went to in 2010 was one of the top beer events I had ever been to for having fun and drinking great beer. The one this year sounds awesome! Cool it is on Thursday night. Sure was looking forward to a Pro night in Michigan. Bummer that ended.

OK. Here is the list of people I think are attending this year. Let me know if this is right, or not. I am adding Shane to the list, as I saw he posted something about HBC, and heading up on wednesday. I sent him a PM, and hope to hear back from him.

Today, I contacted Enterprise, and reserved a 15 passenger van for the trip. They do not have hitches on their vans. I was not able to find a large passenger van, at any other location I called. Matt is planning to drive separately, and has offered to pull the trailer for us.

Cassel motors I find was the best deal for van rental. Just my two cents.

That's saving us over $200. New price is $535, unlimited miles. We can pick up late wednesday morning, and return on sunday morning. Still no hitch.

I imagine we will have to load the trailer after Club night but that also means anything else you want in the trailer needs to be loaded that night too. I will be rolling about 9am the next morning for anyone wanting to get back to CR around 3 or so that Saturday. I can haul three adults plus myself with a bunch of luggage comfortably.

Brewery Vivant is having a "Rare Beer & Food Experience" on Wed evening. No idea if it's worth it.
