Heh, you wish MJ! She has a taste for short, hairy and loud.

If anyone has a shot, it's Norse.

But I think I'm gonna make it this year. If Impact doesn't need help, I'm planning on doing the volunteer thing. And this year I'm bringing a portfolio to lug around and show off...oh yeah, I will be writing much of it off as business expenses!

If you look hard enough. I live near a liquor store chain called Friar Tuck's and I can get just about anything I want. However, mostly I stick to domestic microbrews for the sake of the deteriorating dollar. Occasionally I'll spring for a cider or mead...or even a trappist beer if I'm particularly posh. Strongbow can be found fairly easily though mostly canned. I don't think I have seen it on tap anywhere.

And as far as getting it at a pub...ppfffft! Not likely. There are a few here and there that serve lots of imports and microbrews but mostly they are overpriced. It also depends how far you live from civilization.

The closest pub that even serves Guinness is about 5 miles away from my home. Most pubs in America you'd be lucky to get a Sam Adams.

Did you get yours at the RAM, Norse? That place was cool...tho hard to say if it was overpriced as everything is costly at Gencon.

my local liquor store says they will get me anything as long as I order enough of it...

GenCon this year will be a single stall booth and I WILL have all the blisters ready to go this year.

So that means we really only need 3 people at a time in the booth (or it will get overcrowded fast). One demo person, one person to help the customers, and one person to guard/run the cash box.

I would love to this year have Thursday to exactly explore the Con and meet some folks. If Gavin comes over that will work great as he can run the booth while I take some time to go meet and great. Plan on having some type of 2 way comm system so I can be paged if needed. I get ideas when I tour the Con and those are important.

After that ... I'm more than happy to sit my butt down for the other 3 days and help man the booth. So we need one demo guy/gal for all 4 days and we need someone to run the cash box on Thursday. Outside of that ... I think we'll be in good shape. Setup and Tear Down help will still get you free GenCon badges because that is a big deal.

Sorry to hijack the thread Justin. The Ice Trolless came out very nice!

I'm thinking I'm gonna volunteer for a badge and hotels anyway...it's my understanding that if you have a 4 year degree you can sometimes get the easier sit-on-yer-butt type jobs.

Anyway, whatever happens, I'm always willing to help Impact if you need anything.
