I love cheese with a bit of blue/green.

Hipitty Happity Birthday!!!!

Like Jews and bacon. <---Raises hand

Vegans. Suckers.

Figured I would kick this one off, unless I'm the only cheese-head here. Solid largish American cheese company. Love their Merlot Bellavitano.

I totally get it. When I was new at my last unit I would bring a baseball bat into our meetings. Strangely enough nobody messed with me.

You know it! Thursday and Saturday will be big beer drinking days for me, might have to switch to cask strength whiskey on Friday

I'll be at the Convention Center Hyatt downtown Thur-Sun but will definitely be coming down at least Friday.

Which one?

Personally I would prefer a time machine, is if you could work that out it would be great. As for the new iPhone I was not that impressed and really have no urge to upgrade. Maybe the 5S

I think it's starting to get more standard on new cars.

I leave at the end of Feb For my LUH transition course.

Excellent! Okay maybe a couple more cool things here. I could give a tour of the helicopters and there is a Cavalry Museum on post. Could take a field trip to KC and go to Arthur Bryants/Jack Stacks/Boulevard. Plus I'm sure there is plenty of pig to be cooked and spirits to be shared.

Feb it is! There are direct flights from Chicago and Dallas to Manhattan.

Hard to tell. Last year it was cold, in the freezing temps at night, but nothing like the year before where it was single digit. I also agree Feb would be better. Plus it gives me a bit more time to make some brew.

Seeing as it looks like I will be moving away from the great state that brought us prohibition, I think it's time to see if there is any interest in a once in a lifetime Oz Fest? Thinking end of October beginning of November or beginning of February. I would normally say (living other places) that the weather might not be that great, but seeing as what there is to do doesn't really change with the weather, those dates are as good as any. Might make outdoors cooking and smoking a bit colder but I think anyone willing to brave coming to Kansas could handle it. As for activities, we have a Oz museum in Wamego, Tall Grass Brewery (small but the owner is super nice), Zoo, World Famous Aggieville*, KSU bug museum, and a couple others that don't come to mind. As for accommodations, I have two spare bedrooms with queen beds, two couches, and floor space for 30. We also now have a Hilton for anyone that wants to live it up. Any interest? *World being anyone in the Big 12

Great Job, and cornbread sounds yummy right about now.

Gordon? This does look interesting, might replace my PS3 for BD playback.

It's hard to drink two bazillion beers in one session. Might just hang out at the Sam Adams on the second day and Bogart all the Utopias.

I'll be there. Doing GABF on Thursday and Saturday.

I have both a Traeger and a cheaper gas grill. http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-202018212/h_d2/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&keyword=infrared+grill&storeId=10051#.UES_8NZlR9s I love the Traeger but for daily grilling the gas can't be beat. When I want to add a bit more smoke flavor to my grilling I just throw some pellets in the "infrared" tray on the grill. If you think your going to do a lot of smoking and want easy temp control, get a Traeger (or other pellet grill).

I'm sure I'll get the Yankee tag a bunch.

Might as well throw KC Into the mix. Arthur Bryant's is about as good as it gets.

I'm all in for BBQ, regardless where it is from.
