Since FT "DO" and meet-up threads (or folks looking for interest in a "Do") are traditionally in Community, I'm moving this there.
If you go, eat some for me

I've always wanted to go to the Garlic Festival and I love the Portland Brewers Festival too.
Alas, I'm already committed to teach classes in Grand Rapids, MI that weekend... so I'll be nowhere near the west coast!

In fact, there is garlic beer!
They also have garlic chocolate, garlic bread, garlic ice cream, garlic olives, and many other garlic-infused food and drink.
The garlic ice cream, for example, tasted similarly to vanilla ice cream — until after it is swallowed, which is when the garlic kicks in.
I attended alone years ago because I just happened to be there over the weekend while on a business trip.
You will know you are arriving in Gilroy long before you reach it, for obvious reasons.
For those of you who are OMNI-forum-enabled, here is a little more information about my experience at the Gilroy Garlic Festival.
Even if you go alone, enjoy!
I walked out of there reeking of garlic, but who cares? I had a great time!
