June Alternative Tasting

So, I managed to miss both Big Strange Brew and the Brewnoser meeting this month and am feeling a little beer geek deprived. Based on both Tim's alternative tasting several weeks ago, and Jeff's standing room only Brewnoser meeting last month, I am fairly confident I could host a small meeting. Combining those two facts, I thought I would toss out the idea of an alternative tasting next Friday (the 24th). Anyone interested in coming to the dark side?
As with previous alt nights, everyone brings a bottle or two (preferably 750ml or equivalent combo of small bottles). Beers not available here is the idea, but homebrew as well as aged bottles are also certainly welcome.
I have a number of Saisons that I can open, if that interests anyone.

I've got to attend one of these at some point, as I haven`t yet - but I`m busy that night. As an aside, I've always wondered how you guys get a constant supply of "beers not available here". I guess the answer is probably travel and trades. Maybe I don't travel enough?

I'll come, as long as Tim doesn't bring his cats.

One of the few things that make 70+ nights per year on the road worthwhile.
Speaking of which, I'm in Ottawa right now. Anyone need anything from the lcbo? You've got 45min to let me know, my flight is at 5.

Absotutely! Just hope I don't have to go to Sydney Friday for work (it's still a possibility).

PM sent. I'm in town, which means I can make it. I'll be at the H&T around 6 for a beer beforehand if anyone needs a lift to/from. Best to email me to get my attention.
