Good idea, sinbob! I'll take off as soon as my tickets arrive in the mail. I'll even bring my own hammer and duffel bag. You might think about the food assignments, though. My home brew will stand up to anything BOUTS could bring- my last two entries in a local contest took first place in a category and first place overall. I think dcbass might be able to vouch for me...

"Spiny can bring the girls since he is young, smart and connected."

You don't know me very well, do you? I'm not connected at all. But thanks for the break from nothing but grumbling.
