First, the Short Yellow Bus Tour and BNA4. I don't know how they're gonna top it next year. What an awesome time. Great beer and great friends.
For those of you wondering about Oakland, when the bus tour started leaving the hotel, we DID see a guy carrying a TV down the street.......
It was also great to meet all of those BN'ers that attended, we are truly one big, happy (although seriously warped and dysfunctional) family. Everyone was so great, laid back and fun to be around, it made the entire trip AWESOME. It was fun to put faces with the names, although sometimes a little creepy (Sorry, Blober...maybe it was being handcuffed to you for a while..?!?!?)
And, to top it off, Sean Paxton's MASTERPIECE of a meal, unrivaled by any meal I can remember having.
Follow that up with the BN Army bringing it strong in the NHC Finals....
What a great group to be around. Hope everyone has/had a safe trip home, and see you in chat, in the forums and in person next year.
Oh, and in case you didn't hear about it or witness it, Charlie Papazian actually tried Justin's Beer at club night. I have it on video, links to it and other pics to be posted soon, and I think you'll be hearing an audio clip from that interview a lot on the BN i So, Cheers Mothafuckers, Brew Strong, oh, and (of course).....
SUCK IT SCHUMAN!
(love you man!)
