will there be a Con V?

100% on this. Rowdy and I love Savannah. Think Casino can vouch for it as a great drunkard town too after last weekend.

shit, big casino was in town?!? wtf, dude, how long do you have to be on here before folks let you know when they're coming in town?

[Grace O'Malley]

I'll vote for Vegas, baby. It may be my only chance to go, depending on when.

He's kinda like a herpes outbreak. All of a sudden BAMM! There he is, then when you blink, he's gone.

If herpes outbreaks had a liquor preference, it would of been gin last weekend.

And you didn't say a damn thing about my post??

I don't think of herpes when I think of you. Casino...

Do distillery's host conventions? I mean, why wouldn't we just go to the source. I don't want to get out of line or anything, I'm new, but, if MDM folks seem to like hard liwqour, why not jst go to Kentucky on a tour of the bourbon disilleries? don't they give you free booze at the end of those tours? We could even stage a MDM take-over of the distillery. We could demand we won't let the master distiller free until our demands were met. We can put Bundy in charge of fhe demands since he seems to have a stranglehold on killer ideas.

I like the way you're thinking, but, as a veteran of many distillery tours, I can tell you that this wouldn't work. First off, while undeniably awesome, distillery tours are repetitive. The process is the same across the board. A horde of bored drunkards would not be good.

Second, while they give you a sample, it's rather small. I don't know about you, but once my lizard gets a taste for booze, it demands more.

Finally, there aren't that many distilleries to choose from. Maker's is undoubtedly the coolest, while the most upscaly and fancy (and best one to eat at) is Woodford Reserve. I know, I know, I went pre-boycott. Heaven Hill's Bourbon Heritage Center is pretty cool, but last call in their tasting room is 5 PM. Add the fact that there aren't that many hotels in Bardstown, and you've got an issue. Lexington could work as the host city, but it's almost an hour drive from Bardstown. Louisville's about 45 minutes, and is a bit more drunkard-friendly, but neither are up to Vegas or New Orleans standards.

Something like Thoroughbreds and Redheads could work, but we'd all have to become Maker's ambassadors to attend the after-party. Maybe I could squeeze in a guest, but I doubt a Con's worth of guests would fly.

I love the Bluegrass State, the Commonwealth is in my soul, but it simply wouldn't work for a Con. Too many issues of logistics and infrastructure. I vote Vegas.

I believe we still owe Chicago a con.

Okay, have to make the plug for Savannah, GA. maybe not this year, but anyway, it has all of the plusses of n'awlins, with cheaper hotels and less crime.

hmmm...any chance of a regional convention? or would that just be an invasion?

Wingman, if you ever host an invasion, count me in.

If you move the Con out to the East Coast after I just moved to the West Coast I am never visiting this site again...maybe..I dunno...it hurts my heart...

The wife and I were there a few years ago and I'll always remember a joint named Jazz'd or some such. I asked for Makers neat and got a rocks glass filled to the rim for a measly 5 clams. Couldn't believe it. Still don't. That city overall rocks. History. Open container laws. Southern hospitality. Booze. Brilliant!!
