Message FrumptyDumpty 03:58 Thu 2/9/2012 I was joking a bit there craig. I am surprised not more has been talked about for RBESG either.
Message t0rin0 P beers 102 º places 1528 º 06:26 Thu 2/9/2012 Originally posted by cgarvieuk Originally posted by t0rin0 Originally posted by cgarvieuk Hey, thanks for all that. If you guys want to hate start a thread and try to get the admins to take charge of the event next year, or maybe put a proposal together. We’re trying to host the best possible gathering this year. You’re welcome to come out and join in on the fun but if you have no intention to do so please save it for another thread. Im sure you’ll oraganise a great event, and it obviously to late to change now. but having no vested interest in where it is (as im not gonna make it across the pond) i think its important that lessons be learned, and this year it seemed to me there was a lot less discussion about options and who wanted to put proposals forward, than there has been in other years. So i can see how some people might have legitimate concerns, and that should not just be ignored Maybe you’re not grasping the concept. This thread is about the gathering that is already in the process of planning. Please start another thread in which to voice your concerns. Leave this one alone.

I’m not going to step on the toes of my buddies in Chicago, who will be putting one together. I had been talking with people locally about 2012.

So i can see how some people might have legitimate concerns, and that should not just be ignored FWIW, I specifically recall it being brought up that RBSG is basically unofficial anyway. It’s not hosted by the website, it’s basically kind of like a fan convention, if that makes sense. No offense to anyone else that wanted to put together a proposal, but you should have went ahead with it the way that LA did. Or started a thread asking about it or done any hundred of other things to figure out what was going on. That being said, back to you t0rino...
Message t0rin0 P beers 102 º places 1528 º 15:46 Thu 2/9/2012 Yeah, I effed up and let certain people get under my skin. I apologize to those that I offended and those that feel they didnt have a chance to compete. The official I Hate T0rin0 thread can be found here: http://www.ratebeer.com/forums/rbsg-rbwg-rbeg-planning-process_192403.htm In other news I’ll be at Ladyface in a couple hours to talk with Cyrena about making an RBSG beer for us.

Message daknole beers 11050 º places 464 º 23:42 Sun 2/26/2012 Lets not ignore the fact that Bobby has spent an enormous amount of time and energy on this. He has been in touch with so many people for the past few months and has really busted his ass to make sure this event is awesome and enjoyable for everyone. There will be some kick ass beer, great people and an overall great time.
Message t0rin0 P beers 102 º places 1528 º 06:23 Mon 2/27/2012 Will post updates today or tomorrow (yes, we’ve been working on this). Now that winter gathering is done we’ll start pimping the event more.
