I told my wife awhile back, "I feel like I'm at the point in my life where I should be able to go the GBBF every year!" Even with our economy in the tank, and, possibly being the only yank on your island, I'll be there! Can't wait!!

Nope. But, I'd love to drunkenly bump into anyone from the board, if there's some sort of meet up?!

I think some of the guys have Jims Beer Kit t-shirts, they'll be instantly recognisable! Most people seem to be opting for the week days, I'm there on the Saturday and happy to sup with fellow brewers!

Actually, Thurs. might be my night, by coincidence. I arrive earl;y, early wed. am, and, will be fried from no sleep. Of course, I can't get into my room until afternoon, so, the drinking may begin and end early wed :lol: :lol: I'll look out for you guys.

Cheers!
Jim
