FMGC 2013 - Planning, Roster, Suggestions, Invites

Its not gay if its under the desk.

Most Holy, love Tapps!  My buddy Dave the Dog man has his dog training academy near Tapps and he’s taken me there a few times, make a GREAT burger there too, wings sounds rather affordable will have to check them out too!  As for Rye, yeah, Crown was the big thing when you were a kid.  I was drinking Gibsons but switched to Forty Creek, well, technically mostly to water but that is only for awhile and there are exceptions to the rule!  I’m going to try to drag John the Brewmaster up, perhaps now its a summer venue he might take a break from the collage brewing program.  He seems to know a thing or two about everything and just about everything to do with beer!

DJ- My wife drinks her share of beer, but despises IPA’s!  So if that’s the direction in American small beer culture, then she’s in trouble.

If I come down to the Spring Gathering, I will bring you some Bell’s.  That is some good craft beer out of Kalamazoo, MI.  But you probably already know that.

When I go out to WBC each year, I am drinking Yuengling.  A very good basic beer.  I used to bootleg ten to fifteen cases back each time, but it is now sold in Ohio so I don’t have to bring a bunch back at that time.  Just run down to Toledo and grab a small supply.

Beyond that, I am usually a stout man.  The darker the better! :wink:

Yope is near Toledo? … Me too.

@LHoffman:

Yope is near Toledo? … Me too.

No, I just visit there occasionally. :-o

There are a couple of very good A&A players in the Toledo area that meet up with once in a while, though it has been a bit since that has happened.

I can make it down to the border in approx. 1.5 hours from my “compound” in the Blue Water area.  All depends on the traffic in the city though. :roll:

@Gargantua:

YOPE IS BACK!

Like a stubborn case of crotch rot!

@Gargantua:

Compound?

Is that where [redacted] has been keeping you for forum violations all these years? :P

Actually, I was setting up my fields of fire and anti-personal mines for the day he tried to show up at my door. :-P

@Gargantua:

Sounds like quite a game of A&A.  :)

More like whack-a-mole, but replace the last part with a more appropriate term that rhymes with it. :wink:

Craig,
  Been a Looooooooong time.  I hope you make it to FMGC this year.  You can be my guest of Honor!

Thanks, but as I stated before I am not a big fan of the US border authorities.

I have looked at hopping the VIA rail from Sarnia to Toronto and then jumping on the GO out to Oshawa.  Then I’ll make you come pick me up at the station. :wink:

If you will actualy come to Oshawa…  I will come and get you!  And you are more than welcome to stay at my house.

It would also depend on the date.  As I said in the other thread, the first week of August is WBC out in Lancaster, PA.

Going to another event in August is problematical.  Plus, it will be tough for Djensen to make your event if you end up picking the weekend of August 15-18.  That is when Gen Con Indy 2013 happens and he has already stated that he is going to it.

I would also think that anything near that would be tough for him unless you go the weekend prior and he just makes it an east coast, week-long roadie.

I know my suggestion of an October weekend has issues too, specifically Canadian Thanksgiving.  I have always thought that Fall A&A Gathering would work around the Columbus Day weekend here in the states, but I do realize that it would then exclude the Canadian participation.

Maybe a late September date (riding on the coattails of and/or working in conjunction with an Oktoberfest festival) would work better.  Just spitballing.

We shall consider all this.  THANKS!

SEPTEMBER!? NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!

@Young:

SEPTEMBER!? NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!

I said we shall consider ALL…  there are many good suggestions there.

Dam, I forgot that September comes before October and after August…… so let me clarify.

OCTOBER!? NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!

End of October at the same time as the world famous Cask Days beer festival … that would be awesome.
