Wouldn't life be so much more fun, if you weren't obsessed with having the
last word?

Sick em Squirty ****drip.

I'm planning on doing OSH again this year (based out of Milwaukee and driving, I'm afraid). I've got a conference in
Detroit with some of my collegues from Mon-Thurs. Not exactly sure when we're going to bug out, but it will probably be Wed or
Thurs and I'd love to meet up on the North 40. Brew will be of the "home" variety....

: Just two months and two weeks until OSH, ladies and gents! We're already
: gearing up for two events this year designed by and for pilots:

: 1. 6th Annual Iowa City Fly-In Pool Party
: http://www.alexisparkinn.com/iowa_city_pool_party.htm

: Hard to believe it's been six years since you guys and gals helped us decide
: to build the only aviation themed hotel in the Midwest -- and it's "pay-back
: time"! For the sixth year in a row we'll be throwing the only fly-in pool
: party in the world, in thanks to all pilots who have helped us make our
: aviation dream a success.

: Always held on the Saturday before OSH, we'll have food, refreshments,
: music, swimming, and hangar flying -- all FREE. We'll have the Penguin
: flight simulator set up so that you can practice the FISK approach into OSH
: (it's especially challenging after a few beers), and a good time is
: guaranteed for all.

: We're close enough to walk from the airport -- but why bother? We'll come
: fetch you in our courtesy van, and zip you right to the front door of the
: inn. Spend a few hours, or spend the night. If we run out of room (which
: we do most years), you're welcome to pitch your tent on the property --
: free!

: Here are some pix from last year's party:
: http://www.alexisparkinn.com/2007_fly-in_pool_party.htm

: 2. H.O.P.S. Party
: Also for the sixth year, our campsite in the North 40 a OSH will serve as
: the base for the annual "HOPS" (Homebuilt, Owning, Piloting, Student)
: rec.aviation party. Put together with the invaluable assistance of this
: group's Jim & Tami Burns, Montblack, and Jack Allison, this annual shin-dig
: is a great chance to put a face with the names you see in these newsgroups
: every day.

: Admission is, as always, a 6-pack (or more) of GOOD beer, preferably from
: your home-base. Regional micro-brews are almost always met with
: enthusiastic approval. Extra points are awarded if you can't see through
: it! (Left coast exception: If you're from Kalifornia, regional wines are a
: suitable substitute. Just be prepared to take some serious razzing...)

: This party is held on Wednesday during Airventure, right after the airshow.
: Because aircraft parking is "first-come, first-served" the location varies
: each year, but finding us is simple. Just go to the EAA North 40 check-in
: station (at the entrance to the North 40) and give them our "N" number or
: last name. They will give you our precise campsite number, and vector you
: in. (Note: Do this early in the day, or you may be surprised to find them
: closed. Randomly finding someone -- even a big party -- in the North 40 is
: "needle-in-a-haystack" stuff...)

: Here are some pix from last year's party:
: http://www.alexisparkinn.com/2007_hops_party.htm

: And from 2006:

: And from 2005:

: And, the most famous picture of all, from the very first HOPS Party:

: Well, you get the idea. Hope to see you at one or both!

Love to see you and that great plane of yours, Cory. (I hope Thielert's
financial burp doesn't throw too big of a wrench in your gears?)

What kind of beer(s) do you home brew?

I'll try to find you guys at OSH...I should have a few "homebrews" to
share as well...maybe a stout and possibly a wheat beer. And if I get
really ambitious and get a few more batches done before OSH, an English
IPA...

I've been watching that, somewhat disappointed. I think that's where GA is gonna have to go in
the not-too-distant future.

: What kind of beer(s) do you home brew?

"All of 'em." I've got a couple styles that must be available at all times (Pale Ale, IPA, and
stout). Other ones rotate through for experimental purposes... Wheat beers, Browns, Scottish Ales,
Ambers, Porters, Rye Pale Ales, Bitters/ESB's, Classic American Pilsners, etc. I might be weight-limited
if the third person comes along, but if I make it, there'll be a little variety.

Cheers,
-Cory

"All of 'em."

Right. Your qualifications are clearly superior to all other candidates.
Therefore, the HOPS Party committee has voted unanimously (well, they don't
actually know it yet) to elect you, Sir Cory Pappenfuss, our new chairman
of the "Hops & Grains Advisory Board". This esteemed position's duties
consist of the following:

a) Sit in one of Jim Weir's chairs at the center of the circle of
rec.aviation revelers
b) Sample each regional beer brought to the circle during the HOPS party
c) Rate said beers on a sliding scale of your design and choosing.

Winner of "Best Beer Brought to the HOPS Party" wins a certificate for a
free night in one of our aviation themed hot-tub suites, and any other
prizes that the HOPS party committee may devise. (I'm thinking a bag of
Burns potatoes from Jim & Tami, or perhaps some old Intel chips from Mr.
Allison?)

See, now you can write your entire journey to OSH off as a business expense,
Mr. Beer Consultant....

Hope the weather holds out on Wednesday...
