I have a buddy who is building a draft beer set up in his old
refrigerator. Please contact me if you have any used equipment,
regulator, kegs, etc. that you are interested in parting with. I can
hook you up with him to work out a deal.
Cheers!

Subject: [phc-club] BJCP Exam - Fargo
Hello beer lovers,
The BJCP exam is rapidly approaching. Once again, I have been designated as
the official exam coordinator, proctor and beer procurer. As such, I would
like to have an exact head count of those intending to take the exam. Susan
has a few people in her judging class who plan on taking the test and we
have a contingent coming down from Duluth. A few other locals or
out-of-towners may also intend to be there.
This is a reminder...
Please let me know who will be there on exam Saturday. I need to know
exactly how many people will take the test so I can have enough beer and
materials available for the examinees and the reference judges.
I'd like a list of names of the Duluth contingent as well as a list from
Susan's class. If you are not in either of those groups then contact me ASAP
regarding your intentions to take the exam. The most difficult aspect of
this whole process is selecting the beers to be judged and having enough of
the samples to go around.
Thanks.
Ray
Ps. Please get your exam fees to me (or Susan) as soon as you can. Make your
checks out to the BJCP or pass along cash. Your account will be credited
with either.
Pps. Good luck! Have fun!

My apologies to those of you with outdoor activities tonight--
I told the powers that be to hit us with the nasty weather today so that we could be allowed glorious weather NEXT Thursday for the game!
For directions, click on this: (unless your filter strips the HTML)
http://saintsbaseball.com/tickets/seating/
Next Thursday, May 18th, we'll be partying with the Saints at Midway Stadium in Saint Paul. The tailgating lot opens at 4:00, so arrive any time after that. I'll be there with a grill at 4:15, and if anyone else (Steve P.? Did I see you had the same portable grill as I have?) would bring one, we'll be set for grilling. We will grill and drink homebrew in tailgate spot #5, which is on the far (north) side of the pay lot, which is immediately to the left (west) of the staduim. You do not need to pay for parking. You can park for free on Energy Park Drive and just walk your food, chairs, cooler, etc. across the pay lot to meet us. You do not need tickets to come to tailgate spot #5.
Regardless of weather, if you claimed a ticket, you owe for it!
Please bring grillables, homebrew, chairs, something to share (salad, dessert, etc.). The club will provide plates, napkins, silverware, etc.
There is one ticket left for $10. You can come even if you haven't spoken up for a ticket! You can either just tailgate or buy a ticket and come sit with us inside. It's so early in the season that it won't be crowded, so you'll be able to join us without incident. Please take the remaining club ticket before going out shopping for one.
If you have questions, drink four homebrews. If at that point you can still remember your question and have the ambition left to e-mail me, then I'll try to answer.
We'll see folks on Thursday!
