Not that they really need it but all the more reason to support the SOS brothers!

Root Beer
 
I think you should have included Root Beer in your list of options. :p There are at least 63 different brands of Root Beer. For me it will be BYORB.

BTW, this year I'll try to remember to bring name tags for everyone. It really helps us old folks ;)

Now for an excellent suggestion; make one of these to wear all week:

Can wannabe's join in. Have been a visitor to the forum and trying to decide if I can build? If so, count me in for two.

I usually don't do the beer tent until at least Tuesday, oh well, whats another night at the beer tent!! I'll be there.

I suspect that this had to do with agreements previously signed by EAA with the catering company.

What chaps me, is that this wasn't researched prior to approving our little shin-dig. Once it was discovered, EAA could have at least picked up the difference (or even half the difference) in cost, to help support the event, it's HB members, and make up for their original mistake.

Oh well, SOS tent it is. With enough beer proceeds, maybe THEY will build a pavillion for 2013.

Stow it, please. I'm chapped enough for both of us. High road, remember?

Yep....and if you ask the pretty girls they will dip into the special cooler and deliver cold bottles of Spotted Cow, Fat Squirrel, Hopslam, and yes, Two-Hearted Ale.

Doesn't that make everybody feel better?

Hey, Dan. Is there any assurance that groups will be allowed to bring in their own beer and food at a future HBC pavilion? We deal with these sort of restrictions all the time with university contracts and it often covers anywhere on the grounds. Wouldn’t that chap folks if funds were raised for a dedicated pavilion only to learn that we can’t entertain with food and drink unless using the official vendor!

MMMMMMMM...Spotted cow...are we there yet?

Bruce 07-13-2012 02:52 PM

Dan,

Bigger TENT.

See you then.

Actually, yeah...it does.:)

Thanks for all your work setting this up Dan, and for taking the frustration of planning what turned out to be a no-go, and presenting a great alternate.

See everyone on Monday.

Pretty Girls
 
How could I forget the pretty girl bartenders... Okay, I'm less "chapped" and more enthused. See you there, Dan. Thanks again for putting this together.

Wayne Gillispie 07-13-2012 04:26 PM

We are up to an RV-10 fuel load now...
 
Approx 58.6 Gallons.

I bet we are going to have more fun than a 4.5 hr flight though!

Cost per gallon= about twice 100LL

Neal@F14 07-13-2012 04:31 PM

I'd hoped to visit the SOS Bros place anyway after the social, for a burger and some deep fried cheese curds for supper. Now I won't have to walk as far :D

Another good reason to send your Proxy to the right person
 
This is the sort of EAA Policy that truely diverges from what EAA Members want from their Association. It is also another reason to make sure that your voice is heard by the Leadership. Refer to this VAF thread and act IMMEDIATELY! Sent your Proxy designating Phil to deliver your vote.

I'm looking forward to our RV Get Together and enjoying the true spirits of Oshkosh. Thanks Dan for making this all happen.

Harvey L. Sorensen 07-16-2012 09:38 PM

sounds like a hoot
 
I'll be there with one extra H. L. Sorensen

DanH 07-22-2012 11:37 AM

Doug, mind changing the Oshkosh events list on the front page? The social is at SOS Brothers, not Forum 2.

[ed. It was the thumbnail image of the sched that showed the old info. I'm updating that now. br,dr]

Jetguy 07-23-2012 03:13 PM

Where is that at?
 
Where is the SOS Brother tent located.:confused:

It's on the same road you take to get to the "Blue Lot", but on the north side of the road... Look for the big tent and the smell of Brats cooking. They also have a large yellow balloon flying.

Two Cards and a Buono
 
Well, we did our duty and closed it down. In the best form possible. The stories were ALL true. The people were all bigger than life. My beer was always cold, I'm sure I owe a few, I just have to figure out to whom. I'm only sorry I didn't get a chance to talk to more people, but wait, there are still many days left, this is only a primer for the impromptu chance meetings with new and old friends in the days to come. Hey, how about that 40 ship! Ok, ok, it is done... but was a big highlight (and a lot of work) of my OSH 2012.

That is the end of this beer social story for this year. Where were you?

I'm still looking forward to a nice conversation with 'The Horton' about micro or some such technical detail to send me back to the engineering texts for the next 9mo when I get home.

Cheers,
'Scoot'
