Will definitely be there as well.

Reminds me, need to double-check carbonation levels on my beer...

I'll be there at the Bicycle Brew Club tent. Weather is looking fantastic. Just hope it's not too muddy after all this rain.

Wish I could make it, but I'll be at Chicot for the Bushwhacker Adventure Race setup that day.

yeah, I've got a close eye on the weather this week. hopefully it just comes on through and gets out of here long enough to dry out.

Went to this one time and it was awful. Extremly long lines (10 minutes minimum per line) and small shots of beer. I think they over advertised that year. Thinking about giving it another shot.

I also could not believe they had Schlitz, PBR and Bud Light at a beer fest.

Year 3 was a miserable clusterfrick. (I think it was year 3 at least... might have been year 2)

Since then they have reduced the number of tickets and it should be a lot better.

They'll most likely still have that kind of stuff.

You could spend all day in front of the Homebrew tents as far as I'm concerned.

The lines haven't been bad the last 3 years I went.

Yeah, one year they didn't limit tickets and the crowds were terrible. I think they've learned their lesson. Haven't had a problem since that second year.

Couple of observations made yesterday.

1. You can't buy your ticket online and there is no "will call". You have to go to the museum to buy it now.

2. Website says 1500 tickets to be sold, sign at museum says 2000.

As for the rain, I might jus' hafta wear my white shramp boots!

Hmmm. I called them a couple weeks ago and they said they'd reserve the tickets for me. However, i was already in the area and just went to pick them up.

2,000 still seems like way too many people for that area.

rutiger: I was just about to call the museum and tell them to stop selling tickets now. I like your idea better.
