Kudos to Ralph and the gang - all of these events are absolute gems. Personally, I'm looking forward to the 20 traditional English ales, and the stout/porter challenge. I can't make the DDC night due to another commitment - I've had all but one of the beers mentioned, and it should be a spectacular event.

The key to faking out the relatives is the clammy hands. It's a good non-specific symptom. A lot of people will tell you that a phony flu is a dead lock, but if you get a nervous family member, you could land in the doctor's office. That's worse than a wedding. What you do is, you fake a stomach cramp, and when you're bent over, moaning and wailing, you lick your palms. It's a little childish and stupid, but then, so are family gatherings.devonsleigh wrote:awesome! now i have to find a way to get out of attending a wedding. any tips?

Save Ferris!

The shoes are a late addition as well? That must be the taste I can't quite pinpoint.peterchiodo wrote:I'll be attending with my wife on another "beer" date (thankfully I married a beer geek). The beasts will be at home. You'll know who I am--the antisocial idiot discussing late addition hopping.....oh, and shoes.
See ya' there - Peter
