Oh No! There's only one spot left on Team Porter! What will you do?
You might have to Split the Party. Or go Pilsner. In my book they're equally inadvisable. :P
Pilsners are great for hot summer days which I'm hoping Monday will be (well, not TOO hot).

Special shutouts to ...
@courtneyj for making all the prize swag AND the passports when she was sick and not sure she'd even be able to come, and Jason for being her wingman.
@JobiWanKenobi for bearing with me during the months of planning, contributing his own money when the budget ran out, helping with the food and lunch, and especially for being my wingman.
@VespaChica for generously giving up one of her weekend days for an all-day scouting mission while we located all the breweries and took vigorous notes on driving directions.
The tour was Amazing, Fun, and Exhausting, in that order. It was really long, and won't be that long again except by special request. You probably never thought you'd hear yourself say, " I'm sick of drinking beer," so all of you who stuck with it and survived the endurance round at the end will be getting a special something. I don't know what yet, but you earned it.
Please feel free to post photos (except of me), stories or suggestions for next year!
You do amazing things, LexiconGrrl!
I could not drink the last 3.5 beers. Just could not do it. Ugh. But it was so worth going to and SO MUCH fun - especially the Kitsap leg! Those guys are super awesome.
The Most Excellent beer hat given to me by Gary at Silver City. I still need to figure out how to make it work without squealing.

Damn right! Jeff giving Mark bunny ears makes that photo.
I'm still decompressing/unpacking from the awesome that was PAX and this tour. Must thank Lexi, Courtney, JobiWan, etc for putting this awesome thing together, and may next year's kick even more ass.
I think for next year, we must plan on abducting more brewers, as brinhing along Jeff and his dad to Sound (with an epic mini game of CAH), followed by adding Mark to the fray for lunch at the Pig was fantastic.

It was a beautiful day on the ferry!
End of endurance round - food is gone but the beer remains. So much beer.
Here's our route:
EDIT:
Shawna, if you're reading this, the ladies (and possibly Jeff, I'm not sure which way his pendulum swings; I didn't ask him) mean to compliment you in the most respectful way, because we're all sisters. Let's face it: your hubby is Hawt. Well Done!

That's a really good suggestion. It didn't occur to me that the team names could be interpreted like that but yeah, I'd be up for Team Hoff next year.
EDIT: How about Team Klaus?
