I am so freaking ready for this it's SICK!

Couple of notes for you all...

1. I have figured out a way for me to get beer back here to Arizona from the Brew Swap. My brother is coming up from GA for the swap and I'll be giving him any beer I want to bring back. Then he'll haul it to Louisiana at the end of May, which is where I'll be as well.

So, that said, I'm going to straight up say that I'm going to be a mooch and try and snake some beers of you guys with nothing to trade. Lame, I know, but I can't exactly bring a case or two from out here and GA doesn't have many beers (and those that are there are well covered). The kindness of your hearts is what I will be appealing to.

2. If you are part of a large group attending the swap, like a Club or other organization, you can let me know and I can reserve tables together for you guys. Now, don't everyone start emailing or PM'ing me with this request. You need at least 6 or more people coming together from the same group.

Assigned spots didn't work out to well last year so I don't want to go that route. I just want to help the groups that want to stay near each other while at the Swap.

See you soon

My mother of all people just sent this to me:

A 2006 study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a year.

Another study found that Americans drink an average of 22 gallons of beer a year.

That means, on average, Americans get about 41 miles per gallon.

Not Bad…

I am packing 4 cases but then I have an unfair advantage.

So let's see here....

If the average beer is 12 ounces, that means we get about 3.8 miles per beer. Well I know I don't walk that much between each beer - but maybe I walk that much between waterings! That must mean that we're like beer camels.

The average American needs to get the fridge closer to the TV!

Always good to hear about the shirts making it to their destinations unmolested.

To all you guys offering to share your beer, thank you! I knew you were sweethearts.

So far the largest "group" of people at the swap will be the M|U crowd and their guests at a total of 21. Next closest is Sunshine MINIs at 14. GSM will have 8. Waiting to see the Kentucky and Michigan club numbers.

I just emailed you about this. Weird timing.

Try and get me a final number so I know how many tables you need and how many table cards I need to bring.

I sure did. I meant to reply, sorry about that. That'll work great. And a certain somebody created more just like yours for the other clubs. So far we'll have tables reserved for:

M|U
GSM
SSM
DCMM

And should be adding Bluegrass, PittStop & Michigan to that soon.

Trinity, Cherie and I will be there, too. We met you at the microcar museum. We're in the picture you posted on your website . Annette will be there, too, although I don't know if you met her.

There aren't many of the AtlantaMINIs gang going, but we'll do our best to represent
