Events / 2011 NHC - Hotel

« on: June 21, 2010, 11:45:31 AM »

I know I'm jumping the gun here but I can't remember when the host hotel for the NHC was announced last year.  Any idea when it will be announced this year?

I'm sure San Diego is going to be a big draw.
Thanks.

Gasket kits for 13 kegs is going to add up But yeah, I'll do what I have to. I do clean before I sanitize, as you can't sanitize something that's not clean!

I had briefly thought about a quick bleach rinse, but was hoping the star-san would be just as effective. I'm afraid that even a quick bleach rinse will pit the metal allowing whatever's bugging me to hide even more effectively.

No so much if you get them from here:  http://www.mcmaster.com

I don't have the part numbers available to me right now, so maybe someone else can chime in.

I don't remember, but every year there's always a question about whether they're going to do it or not because the hotels want an outrageous amount of money ( I know...I used to do IT in a hotel in Boston ).

Since they've been streaming on www.justin.tv, the brewcasts have been pretty reliable.

The Pub / Re: How do I get from the airport to the AHA confrence hotel?

« on: June 16, 2010, 11:25:16 AM »

They say there is a shuttle near the bottom of the page.

Someone posted this on the Brewing Network Forum:
 
Homebrewers has contracted transportation during your conference. Our transportation schedule is as follows. The shuttle leaves the hotel at 6:30am for the first pick up at the airport of 7:00am. Our shuttle runs hourly by leaving the hotel at the ½ hour or bottom of the hour and pick up/leaving the airport at the top of the hour. The last shuttle to leave the airport for the hotel is 10:00pm After gathering your luggage please proceed 1 level below baggage claim to Ground Transportation (follow airport signage for ground transportation). Once at Ground Transportation please proceed to the side that states Hotel Transportation/Taxis. Our shuttle is blue, white and silver with the Sheraton logo and hotel name written on the side.

I joined about a month ago and have not received my membership card yet. Is that strange?

Nope, takes about 6 weeks or so.

And don't forget they are all pretty busy right now with the conference.

We haven't had to lock a thread in a long time. I probably should lock this one but I'll wait and see what happens (against my better judgement, probably ). That said, the pub has been a really cool place to hang out. Lets not ruin it by making it a place to b**** and complain about politics, big business or the state of our country.

But isn't this what people do in a Pub?  And usually because their wives tell the to shut the <bleep> up, so they need to go somewhere to blow off steam.

And what about all the boycotts of Arizona businesses....geez!!!!!

And now lightning hits a ship in the cleanup effort and starts a fire...almost sounds like someone doesn't want us to clean up the oil...
