Don't get your hopes up too high.....a few of us are fugly, bald, mean and smell like hops.

But yea, I'm getting very amped.........I need this trip more than I knew when I booked. And to see my old borg brothers and meet new ones is almost better than a keg of fresh beer.

In a few years I see us having to either rent a whole floor of a hotel or several houses just to keep the riff raff IN :jumpy:

This seemed appropriate...



I looked for one with someone prancing through a field of flowers with romantic thoughts in their head, and then was going to paste Vince's photo on it... :jumpy:

Yes it is getting to be about that time, 24 more working hours then Asheville bound, arriving Wednesday. I will be on a QC mission ahead your arrival, making sure the beer is the freshest and tastiest it can be and making sure the seats are warmed up and ready for us.

Yep, that's a picture of Paul and I, man that was a great night. I'm on the left rocking those awesome sideburns.

Can tell by the way you're posting RB that you're jealous that we don't invite you and I'm ok with that. :shower:

Fresh beer and warm seats, no one can argue with that. I will have a 'limited supply' of Pineapple Pale Ale to share when I get there!

Just put 16 lbs of brisket down for a 10 hour or so nap for next Sundays feast, just hit it with the first round of smoke, apple, cherry and hickory.

Going to spoil a surprise here as some know, but others don't. Chris has contacted the home owner and Jody and I are bringing kittens to Asheville. :banana: :banana: :clink: I want to prep everyone about watching under their feet as they move about (they are quick and silent when they want to be) and watching exterior doors. They are excited to meet you all.
As I type this I can hear the sounds of kittens tearing ass though the house as they warm up for Asheville.

Edit: Please feel free to bring laser pointers. ;)
