Back in Black fest

I'll be there at 11am or so haha.

 

I'll be there when it opens, but probably only for about an hour or so.

 

My wife really, really wants to go, so we'll probably be there at 11 or so as well. I'll have a Montreal Expos visor on if anyone wants to say hello. (See logo at left if you don't remember the Expos ...)

 

I pulled into Seattle finishing the cross-country drive/move from D.C. on the evening of last year's Back in Black, so I look forward to checking it out for the first time. I think I'm gonna head over around 11.

 

A may or may not be sporting one of these:

 

So, let me get this straight. You have to go because your wife absolutely insists on it? Is that the perfect marriage or what?
Actually, mine is a close second or even tied for first. My wife hates beer but drives me to these things so she can drive.

 

Matt, I'm speechless! I tried to come up with something clever but failed - what kind of beer is she holding anyway?

 

I will be there around 5 pm or so with a friend who can't go until after work. I'm thinking of taking the day off tomorrow so may show up around 11 am for a glass or two then return with my friend later. Regardless, I'll be sporting a Reds cap.

 

For those that have been to this before (or others brouwers fests around opening time on the first day), if i showed up at 11am, would I be able to enter and get a table?

 

Yes, I'm quite lucky. I kind of dragged her into the beer scene, but she has since jumped in with both feet. I knew I was getting somewhere when I came home with a couple of bottles of Abyss a while back and her first response was, "You should have bought more."

 

Well if there's a line at 11am, that won't be turning over anytime soon since everyone inside just got there. i'll probably hold off until after lunch.

 

Is it possible to show up after 5PM and even get a drink?

 

I'll be there around 11, sporting a retro mariners hat I'm sure. All my friends have to work tomorrow so I'm goin lone wolf status!!

 

I'll be that way for Sour-fest on Thursday, but have a small army tomorrow...

 

I'll definitely come say what's up if I spot you there man.

 

I've been to Back in Black for the past two years, arrived after 5 pm, got a table almost right away, and was able to get nearly anything on the list (except for things like Founders CBS and the like).
