Got my volunteer shift lined up for VIP dinner. That fest is great. I will be a traveling drunken minstrel for a couple of nights there. Give me beer and I will be your friend. If you have never been to this fest, look into it. I have never seen the likes. Guaranteed smiles

I see you are from MA. I always camp with a bunch of people from MA that are in a club called the Mash Holes. Are you familiar with them?

I think so. Although it is hard to say. I know them better by face unfortunately. Awesome bunch of people though. We will throw it down with the grub and booze for sure.

My brother picked up a ticket just recently from a friend who couldn't go. He grabbed some nice stuff from the store. I have a handful of things that I could bring. Decisions...

Had a great time. Tried to find Doobahstop's camp but everytime we went that way we got derailed with more beer. I was happy to get back in my bed Sunday though!

Yeah, I had a blast as well! I came home somehow with more beer than I arrived with! Amazing event. I'm bummed we never met up, but there is always next year. I met a lot of first timers who were completely blown away by the scope of the fest. That Sunday is always rough though... Next year I am going to somehow organize a meetup or something. Over by the cow silo...

Me too. A distributor from Wisconsin kept coming to our camp Friday night with bottles from the dinner. It was awesome. The more homebrew I gave him the more he came back. Next year we will definitely need to plan a meet up, just have to plan it more than the day of..lolYeah, I had a blast as well! I came home somehow with more beer than I arrived with!
