***Official Oregon Brewers Festival 2007 Thread****

For those of you who are unfamiliar, the Oregon Brewers Festival is a glorious event held ever summer on the last weekend of July. It takes place on the waterfront in downtown Portland.

Last year we had several 2p2'ers, mostly legends and whatnot, in attendance. Lets see if we can get a few more there this year. P-Town is close enough for some of you Seattle clowns, ahem some of which will hopefully be there again this year. Also, there is zero excuse for Portland residents to not be there.

Here's a pic from last year:


If you know who who is, good, if you don't, tough titty.


Anyways, I want a role call of who is attending and/or interested. Rumor has it Kerssens is making an appearance.


Also, if you are out of the area, but would like me to try a beer for you, let me know which ones. Last year I kept notes but lost them at a comedy club afterwards when some fat chick rubbed here [censored] all over my head before doing her standup.

Here's a list of the brews:

bump...seriously.

Wow, I was thinking about heading to Seattle later this month, maybe I'll include this in the trip

Not sure if we're going to make it down this year, but I'm thinking about it still. I would encourage Seattle-ites to go though, worth the drive down. Plus you can stumble back to an assortment of hotels downtown. And, you can meet ThaSaltCracka!!

Anyone heard from [censored] lately, is he still alive?

[plaster8]

We're thinking about heading down. But only if they have that great gluten-free watermelon beer again.

As always, I'll be the hammered fat guy in the Expos beanie cap.

I'll be there, any tips for a first-timer?

Thanks!

[ThaSaltCracka]

Plaster, the watermelon beer will be there again. Hopefully we will run into each other!!!

Crosse, my advice would be to eat before you go there. If you plan on spending a lot of time down there you will get hungry and the food inside is expensive. Going in with a semi full stomach will also mean you won't get hammered too early so you can enjoy yourself!

Also, if you live in the area, Max line or bus would be best to get down there.

If you are going with someone else, buy the package for two, which comes with two cups, a booklet, pen, and a good amount of tokens.

A deck of cards or something else to mess around with inside is also a good idea.

I'm in. I think Seth is coming too. Is this the 28th?

[ThaSaltCracka]

I was planning on going on the 28th.

All, this is a once a year event, its great, plus there is tons of beer and debauchery.

SC, solid.

Nolan, make it happen.

All, holla.

Pencil me in for next year. We're hoping to move back to Oregon, Portland in particular. We'll see if I can get a job but I'll definitely be in if I'm around.
