BIKEPGH MESSAGE BOARD ARCHIVE

This is today

I'm going to try and make it, but my brain has other ideas.

(I'm not so patiently waiting for new glasses, and in the meantime getting daily headaches. So it'll be a race to try and get there before the SEARING PAIN starts....)

I'll be there (or I guess that's "here"), should be fun!

i tried to go around 6:30 and it was super crowded. i chatted with marko and salty and some others, which was WAAAAAAY better than waiting in the lines. next time ill arrive earlier!

Got there at 7:30 and beer cups were gone, as well as most of the food. Higher than expected turnout is a good thing

I got there around 7pm. Sooo busy there!

It was crazy crowded - my friend that got there at 5 had a much easier time than I did at 5:30. Getting the beer was not much fun but I got to talk with a lot of people - a lot of BP types but also a lot of other random people including an old friend I hadn't seen in 10+ years.

Hopefully it adds up to a lot of money in the Bike Pittsburgh coffers.

I was one of the lucky ones who got there at 5 anad actually managed to sample all 21 beers. Had a blast - I was blown away by how crowded it got and thrilled about how much this event helped out bike pgh.

i wandered through the beer area and a nice lady said there was still five minutes til the sampling would begin. so i wandered off for eight minutes and then WAMMO, a half-mile line of thirsty peeps. so i enjoyed the music for a bit and then left to 'sample' beer elsewhere. oh well! glad it was a success for bikepgh, though. way to draw a crowd!

Wow, glad to hear it was packed, so I don't feel bad about not getting there. Beer is apparently the way to go.
