sbm12 did his best to explain things quickly but the non-elites were starting to board and he didn't seem too keen on talking to us. :(

you know I stopped before I even got to the fact that I have donkeys and llamas as well :)

when you have land you have property taxes, to save money you use the land for agriculture.

I just paid more in taxes than some DO attendees made last year, so any tax break I can get is welcome, and I don't even make that much money :(

In regards to the SAN DO, I would recommend the last weekend of September and then it can be worked in with the SD Film Festival for anyone who may be interested in that. I'm sure i'll be working it like I always do, so i'll at least be in town.

I've had the same thought for a few years. So much vertical space ripe for the using...
And with the space consolidation, a small public common space could be added for sitting up or stretching your legs.

The 6 am flight seemed like a good idea when we booked it... ;)

That's what I said on Friday when I left SFO for the DO. :D

And September/October are both after the peak travel season and the high points of fire season so it could be quite the inexpensive adventure.

Breweries with tours and free beer tastings include:

Stone Brewery - also has a restaurant.

Karl Strauss - has several restaurants in San Diego County which have cask tapping parties on occasion.

Gordon Biersch - hey look another one with a restaurant.

Ballast Point

Coronado Brewing Company - restaurant!

Green Flash Brewing

Oggi's Pizza & Beer - all in restaurant form.

Port Brewing - warning: may contain restaurants.

We also have a couple of chains, BJ's Brewhouse and Rock Bottom but each of them makes their own beer on the restaurant premises.

So, anyone thirsty?


Labor Day weekend works for me.

It was only EddieG and myself in F and Phil had his massive pillow around him with his bright orange ear plugs in :rolleyes:

Morning, Box. Thanks for the email, COFLyerCLE. May the drinks taste appropriately Mexican.

I laughed real hard at that just now. It's really too bad that the line about churning butter was probably the cleanest line to come out of that experience.

Labor Day in SAN or the Tommy Do? Tough call.
