    It seems like it's been a long, long time since the last tasting. Over the past few months, my work schedule had been less accommodating, and it seems to have opened up for the future. I haven't talked to Matt yet, but I thought at least we could begin discussing dates and narrowing our possibilities.
    On another note, would people be interested in changing the venue if, for instance, it was held at a residence? I have reasons I'm willing to discuss, but I'd like to get my feelers out there first.

    Go.

    We're flexible with any venue. Maybe rotate it(with one of 'em being in Findlay-that would be cool). We got a lot of shit coming up in the next few months, but we can probably work it in somewhere. I think the last weekend in June is bad for us.

    I had no idea there was a Toledo tasting group. My parents live in Toledo so I would definitely be interested in meeting up for one if there's an open invite for BA'ers.

    I'm up for another. Summer schedule can get a little complicated, but I'll do my best to participate.

    Cool. I'd like to get this together as soon as possible. Does the weekend of May 25/26 work for people? Having it at one of our own places also gives the freedom of choosing either Friday or Saturday. I like the idea of rotating. What do people think?

    I'd be interested in getting involved. I live in Toledo.

    The 25th or 26th is fine, if we had a preference, it would be Friday. Doesn't really matter though. What's everyone think?

    I'll be out of town that weekend. My summer schedule can be a little hectic in general, so schedule when it's best for you, and I'll show when I can.

    I'll be in from Cleveland and would be interested in the first Friday in June.

    Summer schedule is crazy and I work 2nds M-F, so Sat. would work best for me. So far I'm free the 1st Sat. of June. I would have to check on transportation depending on the location so feel free to do a Fri if it works best for the majority.
    Also there is a Hop Head Festival - August 3 at Centennial Terrace in Sylvania (walking distance from my house!). There is no info on the web site yet but I will update when info is available.

    This is the only information so far but that is all I needed to see to be intrigued.

    I'm just seeing this. Toledo is ~45min drive for me up 75. I'd be interested.

    I may actually head down to Sylvania for that event. I lived in sylvania for the first 29 years of my life and probably could find somewhere to crash near by. Also, my favorite pizza place in the world is only about a mile and half from the quarry. It would be a great place to meet up at before the event. Although it is small, they have beer, they have really good food, and they have a really cool ambiance.

    I don't know if it matters, but the first weekend in June is the Old West End Fest. I think we've gotta go see some bands play that Saturday night, we might be able to make it work though.

    I did forget about that. Any idea what time that would be?

    The festival gets going early in the morning, 10am or something with the parade? I gather it's an all day event, the bands are playing at some cats' house all day too, I think we're going around early evening.

    I'm down for a tasting, doesn't look like a date is set just yet. Having it at someone's place sounds like a good idea too. Hope we can nail down the details soon, any friday should be fine for me.
