Message TURDFERGUSON beers 4067 º places 154 º 09:52 Tue 11/10/2009 Originally posted by eclectic Originally posted by TURDFERGUSON Originally posted by Dickinsonbeer Originally posted by Cletus Originally posted by j12601 23-26 is probably a no go for me as well. The weekend earlier might work, but if we end up getting into the program we’re trying for, we leave the country from NYC on the 24th. 23-26 might conflict with BCTC. It is a possibility, although the last few years it has been first weekend in August. I think at this point if it did conflict with bctc I would be about 50/50. B/C of budget/work issues, I probably will end up choosing RBSG over BCTC this year. Sad, cuz I love that fest. We’ll see though... whoa there guys.. you would both bail on bctc? I’m disappointed.. I thought more highly of you guys.. ahh well Nothing is set in stone kevin. I was just thinking out loud, but it is hard for me to take off that much time from work a few weekends in a row. BCTC is always one of the highlights of my year but the opportunity to meet new folks and visit some new breweries I like is hard to pass up as well. We shall see. I’d Love to be able to do both.
Message t0rin0 P beers 102 º places 1528 º 21:43 Tue 11/10/2009 So who wants to set up a carpool for someone that will be flying into either (from the sounds of it) Chicago or Detroit?
Message BeerVirgin72 beers 880 º places 97 º 02:59 Wed 11/11/2009 Congrats Michigan!!! I will finally get to participate in my first RBSG!!! WOO HOO!!!

Message BeerVirgin72 beers 880 º places 97 º 03:03 Wed 11/11/2009 Keep in mind that there will probably be groups of Ratebeerians traveling from nearby states as well...So you may be able to fly in cheaper to one of those locations and car pool... We will be driving from Columbus, and I am sure there will be a group going from Cleveland... Not sure if those flights are any cheaper but definitely other options to consider...
Message HopheadHans beers 804 º places 17 º 07:17 Wed 11/11/2009 Congrats. I did not vote since I was not sure I could attend, but I will make every effort to make it. H Originally posted by Papsoe Originally posted by SuIIy What are the official dates? July 23.-26. - but not set in stone yet.

I’m not 100% sure what my plans are right now, but I might be able to drive a couple people from Detroit to GR. I might not head out there until Saturday for the brewery tour bus though.
Message northernbrews beers 50 º places 15 º 06:49 Wed 11/25/2009 Just a little update. The entire crew that worked on the proposal will be meeting out in Grand Rapids at HopCat on Dec 17th for the Short’s event and to hammer out some more final plans regarding hotels, a more set itinerary, etc.... After we meet, I’ll start a new thread with the information and various travel options since it might be cheaper (or work out better) for some to fly into Detroit Metro airport, Lansing, etc... instead of flying directly into Grand Rapids. If I have any updates before we meet I’ll let you know. Cheers, Jeff

Baseball HOF induction is Sunday July 25th, so BCTC won’t be that weekend. Most likely the weekend after, like Paul said.
Message MaltOMeal beers 1094 º places 46 º 07:08 Wed 11/25/2009 An example of RB benevolence. Anything to help the Michigan economy. I looked into flights on Orbitz for those dates. The results for Continental said "Act Fast! Only 5 more seats!" It’s eight months out and the plane is almost booked.
