HomebrewCon registration opens in exactly one hour. What are you excited about?

1) The last NHC I attended was the one in Bloomington, which was awesome, but also sucked because I live in Minneapolis, and I ended up paying for a solo hotel room. I live exactly .6 miles(just google mapped it) from the Convention Center right now.

2) The beer scene here has grown a ridiculous amount in the last 5/6 years. The last time NHC was here, there were good beer bars, but only a handful of breweries(Surly and Summit, basically). Now there's 25 or so breweries in Minneapolis alone. The activity outside of just sitting at the "hospitality suite" and going to TGI Fridays (during down times, without having to drive) has increased a ton.

3) If you're like me and start sweating immediately when setting foot outside in humid weather, you'll also enjoy that the Convention Center is skyway connected. You'll still have to deal with it if you go outside of downtown proper, but it's nice to walk away from the Con every now and then.

I'm sure I could list more, but tell me; what are you excited about?
