"Experience a taste of Asheville’s thriving local beer scene with an exclusive tour of three of our award-winning microbreweries." - http://www.brewscruise.com/asheville/
This activity will be Tuesday night starting at 6pm A big shout out to [http://www.talis.com Talis] for stepping up and leaving from the hotelsponsoring a portion of this event. First Our first stop on the cruise will be the Asheville Pizza & Brewing Co. to sample 16-20 different beers and eat some a brewery slash pizza (food billed separately). Then two more stops at the French Broad Brewery joint and the Highland Brewing Company Talis has generously offered to pay for more beer sampling and learning about their brewery processour pizza. Yay!
The cost will be $40/person (not including pizza). The minimum number of folks we need is 16. <s>There is no maximum.</s> Due to logistics of transportation and size of the establishments we'll be visiting I've had to set a max of 48 persons.==== Itinerary ====
==== Beer Cruise Signup ====# Pickup from the hotel is tentatively scheduled for 6:15pm. Those who haven't pre-paid should try to get there a little early.# Stop #1 will be the Asheville Pizza & Brewing Co. where we will sample 16-20 different beers and consume our delicious, alcohol-absorbing, [http://www.talis.com Talis]-sponsored pizza.# Stop #2 will be Highland Brewing Company, "Asheville's 1st and largest brewing company"# Stop #3 will be the French Broad Brewery which "specializes in a variety of European style beers."# Expected return to the hotel is around 9:30-10pm
Please indicate interest in the Beer Cruise by adding your name to the list below. We'll figure out a way to coordinate and communicate the details somewhere down the line.==== Cost & Payment ====
The cost for the cruise is $40 per person. You have one options for paying: # Bring $40 with you on the night of the cruise. I've been told they have a hand-held credit card machine for the cash-strapped. '''UPDATE''': I've had enough people prepay. Just bring cash or a credit card on Tuesday night. ==== Signup ==== '''Sorry, the event is full!'''

===== Wait List =====
 
I'll try to monitor the waitlist and add folks automatically if someone else drops out. Would be a good idea to specify an email address or some other means of contact so that I can notify you if you make it in.
 
===== Paid, but can't go list =====

UPDATE: The Laughing Seed is closed on Tuesday. Whoops. Let's meet in the lobby at 6pm and figure out a plan from there.
 
What about: Rosetta's Kitchen http://rosettaskitchen.com/
# Julia Bauder
# Emily Lynema (Julia, I might be running a few minutes late if we can not make the res. right at 6pm if possible). (JB: Sure, I was going to make the reservations for 6:30, to give us time to gather up and walk down there.)

== Werewolf! ==
* When: Wednesday evening
* Time: 8 PM(or whenever enough people wander back from gorging on BBQ/veg)* Where: TBAWindsor B === About Werewolf === Werewolf (also known as Mafia) is a parlor game that has become [http://www. Watch this spacewired.co.uk/wired-magazine/archive/2010/03/features/werewolf.aspx the obsession of techie conferences everywhere]. At it's most basic, it's a game of information asymmetry -- a battle between an uninformed majority (the townspeople) and an informed minority (the werewolves who live and hunt among them). At its best, it's an off-the-wall paranoid screaming match. There are dozens of variations -- we'll start with the basics, and depending on everyone's stamina and desire to keep playing, save the tricky stuff for later. Hopefully by the end of the evening all the participants will be jibbering, jumpy, sleep-deprived lunatics incapable of trusting even their closest friends. In other words, ''good times. ''

===Olympic Hockey===
 
If you're interested in watching the Can/US men's hockey game at 7:30pm on Sunday (2/21), the [http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-bier-garden-asheville Bier Garden] seems like a decent option.
 
* Andrew Darby (will be there, unless my flight is delayed)
* Julia Bauder -- tried to call to make reservations, and couldn't get through. I'm going to head over around 7:15; I'll hang around the hotel lobby for a bit before I do, if you want to meet up there. Look for the tiny chick with long red hair.
* Esmé Cowles

If you'd rather drink Belgian beer, show up at the [http://www.yelp.com/biz/thirsty-monk-pub-asheville Thirsty Monk] anytime in the PM on Sunday (2/21).
