    Thanks Bro!

    Now if I could only track down Brother Johns and the IT team to get on this issue PRONTO. They left a few hours ago to have a replacement valve for the ale release valves on the FezzJohns Beerslide serviced and may not be back for hours!

    YIKES!!!

    From fezz/johns press release.

    The UnExpo is a (very) loosely organized meeting of independent opticians, designed for folks that want to exchange ideas, brainstorm, review product, and just plain relax, in the company of like minded souls. We go with very few expectations, and have no firm agenda.

    I will add that it was one of the most informative and interesting weekends I've had in years.

    That being said, I'm hoping for decent enough weather to sit outside and enjoy a good cigar and a single malt or two. ;)

    Is this an annual or biannual event? If it's biannual then maybe I can attend the September one!

    It is an annual event, held at the same time, or close to VEE dates.

    In October, a lot of the participants attend VEW, and do an in-formal get together in Vegas.:cheers:

    Gonna have to be outside - it's a no-smoking motel.
    I guess Fezz and Harry can join you for a smoke.

    That's it! We're full!

    Thanks for the responses! We've met the number of people that we wanted to get for this year's UnExpo. We like to keep it down to a manageable number so we can have a good exchange of ideas, and it can be done in a non-convention like setting.

    Previous attendees have priority, but if you want to get in on next year's UnExpo, let us know and will put you on the list.

    Thanks!:cheers:

    We need it cheap and relatively warm. No fun having a cigar and a good single malt while wearing a parka.

    We tried to have it on another coast, and got a grand total of three people. Also, EVERYBODY wants to go, until it's time to commit, and then it's " uhhhhh...yeah...ummm...I've got to work...I think. It's too far...I'll make it next year..."
