I want to thank everyone who submitted and helped. Jon was clutch in making sure the tables had beers in a timely manner. Jen, Eddie and Nico were very friendly and helpful at every turn. Shout out to Ian for touring the great state of Oregon and Russel for his artistic vision and talents.
Thanks to Scott for answering my questions and helping with my sanity. Thanks to all the judges for "sacrificing" a Friday Night/Saturday. We also had one new person who judged and is now hooked. And another that gained some more experience.
I would be remiss if I didn't thank my lovely wife, who never tried to get me to spill the beans. Even up to the BOS table, I was burdened with knowledge and I just had to sit there and watch the results unfold.
A mead a cider and Flanders Red walked into a bar... :)
At some point, I would like to sit down and discuss improvements and ideas for next time. I am anticipating it will be bigger and even if it's only 10% bigger, that changes some things.
Thanks!
Cory
