Thanks for making this section of the forum, Joel. I can't do FWIW this year, unfortunately, due to a certain red themed charity run that weekend.

If you want to do some judging the previous weekend, see my post about IBC.

Gak... I need better calendar management. In that case I might end up doing Indy after all. Would have to be like last year-- leaving noonish Friday and skipping the first Friday session.

Judges-
I don't think I will do the overnight trip to Indiana. Good competition, tho. I'm available for judging at the FWIW competition the next Saturday, 7/21. Is anyone still considering judging there? I'll offer to drive.
Running in any color seems the polar opposite of beer judging and I must draw a line somewhere.

I will be judging at FWIW and not the IBC. They are still short a few judges in Normal, so if you are available on Saturday July 21 sign up at the link above.
