Hi MINI Members!

We are writing to invite anyone who would like to Volunteer with us at the Great American Beer Festival in Denver, Thursday-Saturday, October 11-13 ! Volunteering at the GABF is great fun, great beer, and the "work" is easy. We are co-captains in the "Brew Crew" - we work in the event, pouring beers (1 ounce at a time) to the patrons. It's tough, but someone has to do it!

If you are interested in volunteering with us, you'll need to sign up at www.beertown.org (there is a link to the GABF from there). PLEASE make sure to request our section - Catlin/Martinez.

1) SOME BRIEF VOLUNTEER INFORMATION
- volunteers must be at least 25 years old
- pours are 1 ounce, and are strictly enforced (it is part of the GABF's liquor license)
- volunteers may taste conservatively while they are working - be responsible
- wear comfortable shoes, white t-shirt (if you work 2 or more sessions you get a GABF t-shirt)
- there are no lockers, so don't bring a purse or backpack - there's no where to lock it up
- the more volunteers we have in our section, the more breaks the volunteers get to check out other areas (and beers) of the event

2) VOLUNTEER TRAINING SESSIONS

but I have invited others. If so, they will identify themselves.

BTW, there was a couple who WON a trip to the GABF at the Dragon this year, in the Brewswap (sponsored by MINI5280). You may hear from them.

Thanks for the offer.....and be sure to sober up by Sunday morning and the Yalla Yalla, our big anniversary event.

Thanks,

Jonathan

 

Jonathan,

I tried sending you a PM but it tells me that you've exceeded your quota. It's in reference to another PM I sent a while back on 08SEP07 that I never got a reply from. Could you please reply to it or should I ask you in the forums?

 

Volunteer or Just Attending, We would love to hear from any MINI owners attending the GABF. Thank You, Richard

 

Richard, Please let me know if you need volunteers still for Sat night!
Shelly 303-598-9191

 

Shelly, We need volunteers ESPECIALLY Saturday evening. We would Love to have you join us. You can sign up at www.beertown.org PLEASE make sure to request our section - Catlin/Martinez. and Bring a friend. Thank You , Richard

 

What a fun & crazy evening (especially since I don't drink)!!!!!

 

I was there on Saturday as well.....Standing in the rain to get in for 30-40min after paying $45.00 for a ticket..... not my idea of fun...I was the designated driver so.....navigating drunken idots also not my idea of fun.

Told my hubby he should go with the guys next year-count me out!

Great idea but crowds were crazy and by Sat many of the vendors were already out of beer to taste. If you are going to go suggest taking in an earlier day/time........ be advised huge crowds....

 

minmor719,
Volunteer with me next year! It was a blast!! I don't drink & wasn't really sure why I volunteered because I don't even like the smell of beer or enjoy drunk people..... I had a fun time though!!

 

Did you see 3 guys dressed up in Keg outfits?

I was one of em

 

Any photos?? NO, I didn't see you guys!!! Sounds great!! I was at the back of the hall pouring for Pelican Brewery from Oregon.

 

Did anyone see the guys dressed up like the A-Team. They even had a White Mister T...

 

Bump, Its that time of year again!

I will give Tommy & Stevie some of my years.

Besides, my wife says I'm still very immature!

No... I don't believe so... they are both 21...
