Hi, Long time reader - first post. Just wondering who all plans on going to the Conference in Minneapolis and how excited are you getting. It is only 2 weeks away!!! I can’ t wait to see everyone, get reacquainted with old friends and meet some new ones.
Cheers,
Susan
You KNOW I’m gonna be there! Glad to have you posting finally!
See you there, Susan…and glad to have you join in here!

The wife and I are going, are excited, have one beer in the second round, and will see many people that we have gotten to know over the last several years. Our club is working on the club night theme and we will do a shift at the hospitality suite. Looking forward to the presentations. What am I forgetting? Beer will be sampled in large quantities!
I’ll be there. It will be nice to meet everyone from the forums and put a real face to the names.
Maybe I should apologize for my behavior now! :
: :
Sadly I can’t make it as I’ll be on another continent 
I do have two ciders in the second round, so I’ll be hoping that my name comes up in the award ceremony, which I’ll have to watch on the internet in the middle of the night…
First post on this forum for me, although I’ve been trying to keep up with reading on a daily basis. (I think some of you may have too much time on your hands…)
I’m really looking forward to the conference in less than two weeks. This will be my 10th and I’ve made a lot of good friends there over the years. See you at the hospitality room!

I also will be there. CRAFT has also built a new portable bar that will see it’s debut performance at Club Night, Stop by and have a beer.

Awesome! Be sure to post pics and schematics for those that can only be there in spirt.
Unfortunately, I won’t be able to make it this year
…but I am planning to attend next year.
I’ll be there too.

I wish I could make it this year. Hopefully next year!
I wish you could make it, too, Keith, but I’ll buy ya a beer next year!
Can’t make it (again) this year.
I’ll be there, plus I’m pouring beer with my club (Rochester Area Zymurgy Enthusiasts) at club night and a shift in the hospitality suite. Denny, I’ll have your base beer from the BVIP aged on oak cubes for a few months on hand.
If it looks like mine, I’m suing. ;D
If it looks like yours I’m drinking!
I’m siting here 3 1/2 hours into a 6 hour Governing Committee meeting. Nary a beer yet. Whooppee…
Wow…sounds like fun! 
“No good deed goes unpunished!”
Thanks for stepping up to do what the rest of us don’t want to do!
