I may have an extra ticket for the Saturday Evening Session. I have to wait until tomorrow to confirm though.

If I do, I will be selling for cost.

hey all. i noticed that the "preview" was listed as "10p-4p" last week, and just got clarification on the timing. if you paid for the $45 "session 1 with preview" you get to attend both the 10am-11am breakfast and the 11am-12pm preview. i think everyone was planning to attend starting at 11am, so i wanted to clarify this. carl has also updated the webpage to clarify this:

Saturday Oct 20 : Session 1 Breakfast: 10a-4p
Saturday Oct 20 : Session 1 Preview: 11a-4p
Saturday Oct 20 : Session 1: 12p-4p
Saturday Oct 20 : Session 2: 6p-10p
Sunday Oct 21 : Session 3: 1p-5p

see you all there. if we've never met, say hello. here's a photo from last year's event. i look about the same, except without the hair.

That's even more confusing, IMO. It looks like there were THREE different ticket levels for Session 1, not two.

Why not list them as...

Saturday Oct 20 : Session 1 w/ Breakfast & Preview: 10a-4p
Saturday Oct 20 : Session 1: 12p-4p

hehe, well it's better than "10p-4p", and clarifies that it definitely starts at 10am and wasn't just a typo that should have read 11am. it is definitely only two ticket levels.

that's exactly how i listed it on BA. i think they have the distinction between breakfast and preview since i seem to remember ontario can't serve beers before 11am, so the first hour is purely for breakfast.

Just saw the BA post, grub.

Here is one big fat vote for putting the Hopocalypse Redux on for the Saturday night session.

Screw the rest of you lot! :)

there are two pins of redux and one pin of porter. my guess is there will be one in each session, so you have a 2/3 chance of sampling the redux. i suppose there's also the chance that there might be redux leftover from the previous session, but last year our pins of the original hopocalypse were gone by half way into each session.

the keg of BSDA will probably be on from the start until it runs out, unless ralph has other ideas. it's harder to tell when the keg is 1/3 done to cut it off for the next session.

If anyone requires a ticket for the Saturday evening session, pm me as I have one for sale. A friend sadly can't make it.

Ticket has now been sold.
