Too bad, ClarkCon is on KEOL right now. I mean about having to go offline, not the refund-that's good news.

Hey Z. Dog tired here. Just getting over some minor illness, but it still wiped me out. I'm expecting to be bedding down soon enough in hopes that I'll feel up to taking a 10 or 15 mile ride in the morning.
It's going to be alright.

I love this stuff.

I have no experience with kegs in the desert, but I hear tell that they're a bitch and a half because you have to keep them chilled and it's hard to get a cooler big enough for them. Or you can do the kind where the tap runs through a chiller first, but then you're trying to cool down piss warm beer. Going to go through a lot of ice either way.
It's going to be alright.

There are advantages and Dis- with the canned beer there's no packout, with the keg it might be cheaper by volume but the keg is the same size going out, but then it's easier to recycle. Hmmm. OK, here's what I can do on kegs-wait... name one, I'll look it up.

Guiness. Or something equally stout. Perhaps a shot?

I think Kegs could be a logistical problem, I also have no personal experience, One can imagine the sun and heat getting to be to much for one though and it exploding bathing everything knee deep in foam.

and even if you have a bring your own glass role you’d need to provide glasses that would become moop.
