Looks like your Dad is thinking, "This is what a real man drinks" while you're thinking "Pinky in or pinky out."

 

Pinky out, always pinky out

 

Ive got a few of those...I am going to be bringing one to accompany my beer.
There is somehting about having 3 beers in one hand.

 

Where does one get one of those? I need one.

 

HB newport...or LV.

 

Bringing Gordon Biersch

 

I've been to 2 Gordon Biersch's and I was impressed both times. Their beer is quite good (I prefer the marzen) and their food really kicks butt.

 

While i do have all the swap glasses in hand (unlike last year) and they are all washed and ready to drink out of....i have yet to get beer for the swap. i totally feel like i am slacking.

 

In my defense, it was a Spaten Optimator and part of a 4 beer sampler. that stuff had a pretty high ABV too... I had a 1L of that right after the sampler.

teresa- No, no, no! It's pinky-out only for tea!

chad- huh, i didn't realize we were doing swap glasses too. I was just gonna bring a bunch of beer and some Solo cups or something to drink out of.

 

Same here dude

 

Guys, Chad is referring to the souvenir glasses that each registered participant will get. Detroit Tuned sponsors the glasses and is providing them.

You should still bring some dixie cups for sampling.

 

...and a "Beer Bong"

 

Yes, while the Veterans and a few new comers are aware, most of you are not.

Detroit Tuned is our best & main sponsor for the event and will be providing one Dragon Brew Swap Pint Glass to each registered attendee. So what Chad was saying is that he has all the glasses in from the maker. He has washed them all thoroughly so that you can use them immediately at the swap.

Three cheers for Chad!

 

Oh, my mistake...I suppose I should have read the brief sheet. Actually I did, but I retained the information like a bulimic retains Thanksgiving dinner.

Thanks, Chad. First round's on me!

 

Yeah Chad! You da Man!
Well, so is Matt, but I'm giving Chad his 15 minutes now

 

So, am I to believe that the grease monkey now has dishpan hands?

 

Why am I getting this image of Chad at a kitchen sink, wearing an apron and rubber gloves while Tori is sitting in a recliner reading the paper and smoking a cigar?

 

WOO BEER!
I was hoping this would be done again!
Thanks Chad!

 

Well I have finally secured my beer. WHEW it was hard to find. I was going to buy 1 case for me & 2 cases for the swap back when I thought the beer was $10.50 a 6-pack but then I found out it was $10.50 a 4-pack so I am bringing either a case or a case & 1/2 to the swap. Anybody that wants some Flying Dog, Double Dog Double Pale Ale better beeline over to me cause it will be going fast

 

You CAN bring some other beer to supplement.

I want to sample, but don't need a bottle.

 

So what ever happened to the ring beer openers Matt?

 

Since those were my idea/project, I'll answer so Matt doesn't feel like he has to make up anything on my behalf:

Simply put, there wasn't nearly enough interest expressed. We needed to order a minimum of 100 rings but got positive responses from only about 37 people. Since each ring is sized, it wasn't like I could just order some and then hope to sell them.

I considered taking orders anyhow just to see if we could get to 100. I even figured I would add shipping to allow, if necessary, the ordering to run through the night of the brew swap. Then it all just seemed like an awful lot of work and frustration if I had to turn around and refund everyone's money because we didn't get 100 orders. For that matter, even if we did reach the minimum, thinking about all the extra work involved in shipping (vs. delivering at the Swap) was a bit off-putting. (Not to mention that life got extemely hectic at the time that I was deciding all of this.) And what if we got up to 85 or 95 orders? I wasn't prepared to pay for extra rings myself just to get to the minimum - but that's a tough time to tell eveyone 'too bad, sorry.'

So, in a nutshell, there wasn't enough interest expressed.

However, if there is a huge surge of interest from now to the event I can still do it - and I will have to ship them afterwards. Of course shipping will add about $5-$6 which will likely scare off even more people. (It seems like most folks are already at their budget limit for MOTD.) Otherwise, I figured it is something worth doing for next year.

 

Thanks for giving it a shot anyway.

 

Matt,
I will bring Maerzen for sure and at least one of them has your name on it.

Any interest in cool titanium beer bottle openers maybe with Dragonswap 2007 or MOTD 2007 engraved?

Basically like these:

Those look very cool and you're welcome to bring or sell those if you wish. I'd expect that to be tough though this late in the game. We'll definitely have some better merchandising options next year.
