2011 NHC San Diego Registration is OPEN!!!

[Dirk McLargeHuge]

I will be new to NHC this year. What exactly goes down in the hospitality suite. I've heard some info about it but not sure.

Rob

Hospitality suite is where the vendors set up to show off their stuff, and a homebrew club is assigned there to pour their beers for a set time.

NOW, the room where all the beer goes after the hospitality suite shuts down, and the BN'er's get together....usually a suite upstairs.....is where all the takes place

And the drunk jenga.

The hospitality suite opens at 8 am on Friday and Saturday. In Minneapolis, the club on Friday morning served pancakes and coffee stout. Mmmmmm.

Got my full pass and hotel! Coming in Tuesday morning (shit, is it still 7 months away?!).
Looking forward to my first conference!

(Please be gentle.)

This'll be my first year also and if it weren't for the BN I'd have probably have skipped it again. With all the talk about it being better than the GABF I had to pull the trigger this year.

Planning to go next year for my first time. Anyone who has wife/kids have any advice? Would like to do a mix of family stuff and beer stuff. Thinking about taking my niece along with us as a babysitter so wife and I can spend the evenings doing adult events. Anyone else bringing the wife and kids?

San Diego Zoo
Legoland
Disneyland ( not too far away I believe )

There is a committee for the non beer fanatical spouses/kids I believe.

I think the plan trips to local non beer related must see places.

San Diego has many of these

Dammit!!! Another year and no NHC for me!!!!

Hopefully next year will be East Coast and I'll F^$&&#ing walk it if I have to.

Allegedly it will be in Philly in 2012.

At the AHA meeting at NHC this year they implied the West again for 2012. Not enough people out East stepping up to help or something.

Just registered... looking to split a room....

The FOAM Rangers in Houston said they were working on a bid for Austin in 2013.

Which is most likely to sell out first: the hotel or the conference? I only have enough cash to purchase one or the other until a few more weeks. Do you guys expect the hotel or conference to sell out within a month?
