Gang- I have received a call from the folks at the Great Taste of the Midwest, and they have once again offered us 50 advanced sale group tickets for the event. For those that don't know - to get individual tickets to this is nearly impossible. They only sell 5000 total, minus those granted for group sales and local distributors (Madison bars, restaurants and liquor stores.) Those tickets remaining are sold by LOTTERY, for people who have their order and money in and postmarked no earlier than May 1. (It's a PITA!) Here's a link to info about the event: http://www.mhtg.org/ You can reserve your tickets for the MhBA group sales by sending me a check by 4/18 - $35 per ticket, 4 tickets maximum per club member. Make the check out to "Al Boyce", because they only want to see ONE check from the group. You can send me your money by PayPal if you like, but please add $2.05 for each ticket ($37.05 total per ticket) to account for the commission that PayPal takes out of the transfer - last year I had to eat the loss. $35 per ticket ($37.05 via PayPal - to alboyce(a)bigfoot.com) 4 tickets per person max - (If there are any left on 4/14, I will open it up to any amount - so DON'T PROCRASTINATE!) Deadline: April 18 First come, first served! Your money reserves your tickets. I will put out an email when the 50 are gone, and I will notify you and rip up any checks that arrive after the 50 are sold.) Tickets usually come sometime in the summer - early to mid July. Let the fun begin! - Al
