Oh, so yesterday it was a free party, but today it will cost you a six

Now you're spamming dude, and we don't need a new post everyday to promote
it.

This is a DIFFERENT PARTY. The one at the hotel in Iowa City on 7/25/09 is
FREE. The one at our campsite in the North 40 on 7/29 will cost a 6-pack
of beer from your hometown -- not because we want to charge anyone, but
because it's a really kewl way for everyone to sample beers from all over
America.

Perhaps these crusty curmudgeons could go off and start their own group,
rec.aviation.no-fun-allowed, where they can avoid any mention of the
idea of partying at all costs.

Me, I think it's pretty cool to get a party invitation on here. Even
though I'm nowhere near the area and couldn't possibly make it, I think
it's pretty cool. And it's not like this is some high-traffic group
where topicality must be absolutely controlled at all costs.

In short, keep it up. And to those who think that aviation-themed party
invitations don't belong, why don't you go prosecute your War on Fun
somewhere else?
