Bad choice to leave before the final half day (in my defense, I showed up a day early to run a pre-conf workshop...). <BR/><BR/>I like the idea of virtual tasting, but I'd prefer video chatting over 2nd Life for this purpose, though the bandwidth would probably get unusable...sigh. OK, what's the next event we'll all be at?Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07822235162664957878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7552588147161574476.post-70924273607669671412007-04-15T21:17:00.000-07:002007-04-15T21:17:00.000-07:00Jim,Great fun!

You're now in my reader A-list folder.<BR/>I have posted the pictures on flickr with the tag GAC2007.<BR/>Tomorrow I'm on a mission to find Unibroue in Arizona. Here's my latest marketing idea for you...<BR/>"Virtual Samplings/Tastings"<BR/>Let's try and set up a couple different locations around the globe and connect via Elluminate, SecondLife, There, (or name the virtual tool) Each location can set up ahead of time with the appropriate beers...you dial in...tell the stories...and we all drink and laugh ourselves silly.<BR/>Who's in?bschlenkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13519463877110474192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7552588147161574476.post-57180537072275665712007-04-15T10:32:00.000-07:002007-04-15T10:32:00.000-07:00Jim and all...Sorry to miss the learning-guru Unib...Jim and all...<BR/><BR/>Sorry to miss the learning-guru Unibroue tasting in Brookline. I would have loved sharing words with my esteemed blogging comrades, especially as we moved further and further into a state of inebriated conversation. Jay tells us all learning is social...so if it wasn't for my under-the-weather status, I would have been there!!<BR/><BR/>Say, do people purge the liquid from their mouths at beer tastings---like at your bettah wine tastings? <BR/><BR/>My hypothesis is that blogging beer-tasters wouldn't spit. We bloggers rarely edit, right? After swirling the brew a few times around the gray-pink cavern, wriggling the tongue, twirling the bubbly gold, mixing the message with our own sweet saliva---is it true that the truth we concoct tastes best just before we swallow it?<BR/><BR/>See ya next time, online or out-of-line!!!!<BR/><BR/>--WillWill Thalheimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15417374592525615269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7552588147161574476.post-47676165394162603172007-04-15T01:57:00.000-07:002007-04-15T01:57:00.000-07:00Jim, this was my second Unibroue tasting.

It's like going to a tasting of well-aged Bordeaux and announcing "They're all good."jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16271633210993298646noreply@blogger.com
