Bracfest 2011

[Farmhousewench]

If Jeff is driving, I'd be interested in meeting up somewhere along the route to get a ride down for this.   

[borrowedladder]

I'd love to go but I would have to rely on flying and being picked/dropped off.  So I'm out but save room for bourbon!

IF you are flying in and out of Nashville. I'll pick you up and drop you off (Friday to Sunday).  Just sayin.

Waiting for a more inclusive list before I make "the push" to travel for this.  Those of you that have said they are coming, but haven't clicked in, make it easy and click.

Consider myself clicked in.  This should be pretty awesome.  I especially like the idea that this is taking place in the suburbs (seemingly) for maximum shock factor of Brac's neighbors.   

[stopbarking]

Maybe.

That's my mom's birthday weekend.

I'll road trip it with you if that helps.

Dying to meet people and my wife said she owes me one after the Lumfest debacle of 2010.  Flying sounds like it's a PITA and a 12-13 hour drive might be nice.  Could borrow the wife's car (PT Cruiser cause it has an AUX input and gets badass gas mileage.)  Convincing Chaz to drive with me could be a huge selling point so get on that everybody.  IF I stay at my current job until then I'll have Vacation days to use.

Not sure if Charles can fit in a PT Cruiser.  Would make for awesome pics.

Not to mention I can cook a whole pig in anything.  I can make it rain pork products and beer.  I can even pre-smoke and hold over until the event with enough notice.

You could take out the passenger seat and Lurch could sit in the back seat and stretch out.

Martin is a fair distance from the "suburbs"

Also, if you guys were driving from Texas, you could potentially pick up anyone who wants to fly into Memphis.

Took the words right out of my mouth.  Tara will be there so they can bond and girl talk, etc.  Plus if you drive in shifts, you can get there relatively quickly.

make Mikey drive

He lives in SC.

Basically, I only want to pay for and do one beer event this year and it's going to be GTOMW. I want to do different things for other vacations. No harm meant, I just have a lot of places I'd like to go.

I don't know if my car can handle a 12-hour drive, but I'm still considering it.  If it's anything like Lumfest, it's worth it.

Since I wasn't at Lumfest, I have no point of reference.  I'm not quite sure anyone will really know what Bracfest will be like till it happens.  My whole take on it is that it will be defined by the people that are there and what we make of the time we have, the beers we drink, and the debauchery we partake in. 

So far my only plans are:
1: Make sure everyone has somewhere to lay their head
2: Make sure everyone has food to eat
3: Make sure we don't run out of beer

Feel free to let me know what else I need to add to that list.

Hookers, blow, and a small person toss.  The hooker can be a small person, but she has to be durable and provide the blow.

Damn Gilly, I was going to post the same thing (minus the small person part) but you beat me to the punch.  Although I was going to go with the I might have to re-evaluate my desire to make it if those were out schtick.

Wait a minute... I know Brac is short of stature, but I didn't realize he was "in the pleasure business"

Wrap it in duct tape - they hold together better/longer.

Got the word today... our Rocket City Brewfest in Huntsville, AL will be the weekend before BracFest.  Good news because I'm now sure I don't have a conflict.  Also, if anyone wanted to make a crazy weeklong trip to the south, they could come see how we do beerfests here in 'Bama one weekend, then head to Bracfest the next weekend.
