Default 2015 Oshkosh Social


2015 Oshkosh RV Social

Monday July 20th

1366 WEST WAUKAU AVENUE


Starts When The Airshow Ends

(Ends When The Kegs Run Dry, or about 10PM)


The old girl crawled up out of the basement last week and ordered the kegs, so yes, it's on! Come join the Beer Fairy at OSH, on Monday, after the airshow, for one night of libation, tall tales, and outright lies.

The nice folks at Arthur J. Gallagher & Co (formerly Nationsair, but still Jenny Estes and the whole gang, see here: http://www.nationair.com/aboutus.php) have again offered their terrific backyard location. Please look for the Gallagher staffers and thank them in some appropriate way. They'll be at 1366 Waukau all week with cool drinks and shade for weary aviators.

Here's the map. Easy walk from anywhere. It is near the bus center, and parking if you have a car. No parking at the house...don't even think about it (sorry!).



We will not bother with a "How many beers do your want?" poll. Last year we had enough for all. Everyone seemed to like the choices:

New Glarus Spotted Cow (what would Oshkosh be without Spotted Cow?)
Bell's Two-Hearted Ale (for the hop lovers)
Lakefront Fixed Gear (yep, that's the name, a red ale with a kick)

The Beer Fairy's kissing booth business just hasn't worked out, so as usual, she needed a little help to pull this off. Your sponsors are Gallagher (Nationair), Kitplanes Magazine, Barrett Precision Engines, Perry Hill Auto, TruTrak, SteinAir, Walt Aronow at EXP Aircraft Services, Don Pansier at DeltaPop, Tom at TS Flightlines, Darwin at JD Air, and John Walker at AV8R Designs. Thanks to them, the old lady can save her beer budget to buy new underpants.

A big goal here is keeping things simple. We're not getting into food service, or creating setup/clean up issues. The Beer Fairy ain't Martha Stewart. Hungry folks should grab a sandwich on the way to the party. The Sacred Heart brat stand is across the street, just past the bus park, and last year the house next door was selling food and soft drinks.

Serious note..this is an RV owner/builder function. Anyone caught inviting folks for free beer will be spotlighted, stripped naked, smeared with proseal, and rolled in tall grass. Fact is, there is no hard rule about who can attend, and there's no cop at the door....but you can't do an event like this at OSH and issue a general invitation to all. Likewise for those with bad manners. Overall, the Social Rules are the same as VAF Rules, but with beer....keep it RV only, and keep it nice. Screw it up, and it's over.

Be sure to name tag yourself when you arrive. Take home your very own color-changing cup.

That's it. We had a VERY good time last year (http://www.vansairforce.com/communit...social&page=11), and it should be even better for 2015. Pray for good weather. See you there!

I'd take number 3 but I think I'll still be working the flight line. Maybe after we close down for the night I'll see if anything is left. Have fun!

Sadly, I don't think we'll be there this year. I did, however, just call and buy builder's insurance from Jenny since this thread reminded me that I hadn't done it yet.

Sound like a good stop between air show and concert. Sweetie and I will be there.

We'll try not to be the ones to close down the party and kick out the last stragglers after Dan has had a few too many this time .
