[jones]

Hell yes.

Who's in?

[aMillionDreams]

I'm definitely considering it.  If you're in that'll sweeten the deal.  You'd have a place to stay and we could split a cab back to my place.  Hmm...

PROS:

- Blitzen Trapper is playing in Newport the next day with the Moon Doggies.
- I have a pass for that weekend because my wife and kids will be in Ohio.
- I like beer.  Dylan likes beer.
- I enjoy sleeping  on couches.

CONS:

Almost double the price for VIP.  Can we swing it?

I don't know.  Is your wife coming because mine will.  Can we talk them into letting us be VIPs and not them?  That might get hairy...

Please record that conversation for future entertainment.  ;)

True that.  We could have our own reality show.

I will be living the bachelor life that weekend.  My wife will be in Ohio.  I may just top it off with the Blitzen Trapper show on Sunday in Covington.

June 21 = vacation day

Hmm... I gotta say the VIP is tempting.  I like the idea of being in a hour before the masses.

[aMillionDreams]

The brew university is available with the regular tickets.  I think the big difference is the complimentary food and the hour early entrance.  I'm not thinking that's worth the difference in price.  We can eat somewhere else, including grilling out at my place and I should have two homebrews on tap at my place by then.

[jones]

That sounds great.  I just spoke with the missus and I am 99.9% sure that I am in.  Are you going to go ahead and buy the non-VIP tickets?  I always get anxious about things selling out...

Dylan, I will probably call you later today for planning.

I just found out about another brewfest in Louisville on July 2nd, featuring all local breweries.  Admission is free and all beers are $1.  I'm definitely going to that one too.

We are going out of town for a week that day, so I'm out on that one.
