I'll be registering!

Lotto entered - FYI - they plan on having 20% more capcacity than last year, so they seem to think everyone will get a entry.

Me too!

Yes, I signed up for it.

Oh I still plan on doing that along with Brewery Vivant and Harmony Brewing Company... I figure there should be enough days to hit up all of these places over the long weekend.

I did the banquet lady year. It was fun. But, I think it's only worth it if you have a beer in the final round. Foods good, but it's pricey. All that being said, I did not buy a banquet ticket. I'll be at founders with Jeff.

We have to get our rocker patches done before this. I need to be rocking a legit jacket with all those patches on the back up there.

I haven't gotten a personal email yet confirming, but I saw this post on their website, that says every AHA member that registered, has been accepted to attend the conference. yay!

Paid attendees will receive hotel details on or before March 7. We have numerous hotel rooms held and you’ll get the information first as a paid attendee.

Hint: To ensure a room at one of the conference hotels closest to the venue, book before March 12. That’s when hotel information goes public to all AHA members.

Did You Miss the Application Window?

Relax, don’t worry, have a homebrew! We still have space for a few more attendees to enjoy the finest homebrew event of the year. Registration opens to all interested AHA members on Wednesday, March 12 at 12:00 noon Eastern (11:00 a.m. Central; 10:00 a.m. Mountain; 9:00 a.m. Pacific). At that time, registration and hotel information will be available via AHAConference.org.

See you in Grand Rapids!

They released the hotel info, who wants to share a room?  The Amway Grand is right next to the convention center and only $139/night.  I've stayed there for a conference and thought it was a pretty cool place.  

Ditto. Any women in this club, who want to share a room...? crickets.

Has anyone thought about transportation there? Like car pooling, or something? My nascar Saty is not an option. I know that you can also take the Metra there from downtown, it's about $30 each way, but I wouldn't mind sharing car expenses either for a road trip.

Also, are people planning on staying through Sunday? It feels weird to leave a cool place with so many breweries on a Saturday. Thoughts?

Bill, I plan to head up Wednesday and stay through Sunday, as well.  Want me to book a room and you can pay me half?  Please bring a blow up doll for snuggling.

I'll need to car pool, as well.  

LOL!  Nooooooooooooooooooo!  You snore?

Could someone post the hotel information - I didn't get it yet.

I'll probbaly just stay in van down by the river...

Well, if we're going to have a both, we need some way to get everything up there. Are club funds available to rent something? I think this is a big opportunity for ourclub to beclme 'legit' in the beer world, so worth the expense.

We will certainly figure put a way to transport up our beer and equipment for club night. I imagine we will have a van of some sort for transport
