I will take any and all help I can get sir. Let me mark you down in my Swap Spreadsheet. In a month or so I plan to start working on next year's event. I'd like to have all the details ready to go by January 1.

If anyone has a laptop and a good webcam we can even record the event and burn it to DVD. I have a decent webcam.

 

I will be glad to volunteer again as long as I get plenty of time to swap like I did this year

 

I plan to start the Beerlympics later this year, 8 or 8:30, which would give you 2 to 2.5 hours of swap time. That should be plenty.

 

Mark me down then, I'm good for another go at it

 

Already done. You and Greg will be the leaders...I'll probably find you a helper/gopher as well.

 

Great job Matt...great event! I left my empty Monty Python Holy Gr-ail bottles (tempered over burning witches!) behind on the table because so many people asked me if they could have them!

So don't bother my momma.

 

Be warned... some of us in DCMM are already talking about forming a new Beerlympics team for next year.

 

Beware Edge because...

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!!!


Bring on the best DCMM has to offer....

No one messes with my pulley and I mean no one!

 

Be careful, or we may have to revoke your honorary DCMM membership from MOTD3, on account that you have directly challenged the club!

This should be a fun year of build-up.

 

It will be a fun build up and I'm going to have to make a decision on the number of teams soon. Right now I'm thinking 6. This year there were 4.

Anymore than 6 and it'll be too much going on.

 

Well I call one team if Detroit tuned will have me again..... if not then I will have to join or start another team.....

I can't wait for this event....

Just make sure it is on a different night from monte carlo night.... any other conflicts don't matter... My opinion of course!

The Monte Carlo Night organizers have already said that it will not be on Friday night as they don't want to conflict or miss out on the Brew Swap.

 

Matt,

Put me down to help next year...

-Ed

 

....but Joel/CARdiac was already preparing his flashcards for NEXT year!!!!!!!
BTW, as I'm typing this he is STILL grumbling about your cheatin' ways.

Looking forward to next year!

 

He whines so much maybe he should start a Wine Swap.

 

Done

Thank you sir. You have to convince Mike to:

A. Come back next year
B. Get a MINI by then

 

You said you would get me back for the "trip into the tires" during our go-Kart outing... and a certain incriminating email leads me to only a small number of conclusions- Ha Ha- don’t make me pull out the embarrassing pictures of the “track official” pulling you out of the tires and pointing you in the right direction.

 

Word! I'll be a volunteer for the Detroit Tuned/Rogue Minis/Motoring Underground team!

 

Well the spin wasn't your fault...you just t-boned me.

It was either set you up with the hard questions or let Heidi beat you up. I figured this way was less embarassing.

 

Even though I don't have any of my beers that some of you generously donated I didn't want to miss the fun of drinking post MOTD. So I stopped by the store down the street with the excellent selection and picked up these for the week. There's also a German Ice Beer in the fridge (9.2% abv).

 

The "official" count for the Brew Swap this year was 255 people. Unofficially I think we had around 280. Either way that's over double last year.

 

Dude. Spaten Optimator!
That's what I had in that 8 oz. glass in that pic with my Dad! Watch out though, if you drink that stuff on an empty stomach you're gonna need a tow truck cause you'll be wrecked!

 

It's only like 8.x% abv. That's not too bad.

It doesn't say what the Oktoberfest is. Need to find that out. Tonight is the German Ice Beer, tomorrow is the Optimator.

 

The Brew Swap was what I was most looking forward to this year. Although, that little road called Hwy 129 is always pretty cool too.
I had an absolute blast!

The room was awesome. It was a crowd without being too crowded. I wouldn't add many more to the attendance.

There was plenty of time to mingle. Everyone became quite friendly by the second hour and that was great.

I won't even try to take pictures next year. They all came out blurry for some reason.

I enjoyed the homebrew contest and people seemed to like my beer. I had several compliments and I traded all that I brought. I would have liked to have had the results announced even though I didn't win. I will certainly do it again next year.

The Beer Trivia was a bit too long. But, again, plenty of time to mingle.

I brought home a tremendous selection of beers that I can't get in Kentucky. My Beer Closet looks fantastic as I stand in the doorway and choose each evening's beer. Speaking of beer, I have to specifically thank Ords for the Three Floyds. THANK YOU!

Matt, you did an outstanding job!

 

My honey and I had a great time. I doubt you will be able to come up with something as exciting as Chad's proposal to our Queen for next year. I have two suggestions. I loved watching the Beerlympics. Perhaps next year start with the team event and then run Beer Pong on one side of the stage while the other events are going on. It takes a long time. 2nd, maybe the prizes can be distributed over the course of the evening. I liked having a bunch of prizes (of course I won something so I'm prejudiced). If you called out a couple winners each half hour and culminated with the big prize and shifter **** in the last half hour It would keep the excitement going, and you would catch most of those people before they left for the drive-in. I would love to help next year IF we can come. We were not able to secure a room as Fontana was booked before we left.

Thanks so much for all your effort - it was the most exciting event of the week-end
