No Glass In Warner?

[bodegahwy]

I have to admit... there is probably a jar of peanut butter in the food box...  but at least the peanut butter will hold the glass together if it gets cracked!

We have been known to pour a bottle of wine from the store into a plastic jug at the entrance to the camp.  No need to go with boxed wine.

beer is always better in glass it seems, I'd be tempted to try the new fat tire cans, if they're available..
I'm more concerned about the OTHER  kind of glass piece we might have w/ us

Actually the light that passes thru glass reacts with the hops and makes any beer "skunky"... that's why the beers in clear bottles taste like... well, skunk butts! Green bottles only block 80% of the light and brown 90%. No light gets thru a can.  The cans today are much different and do not impart a metallic taste at all.  Mostly its an old urban myth and our own preconceptions that the bottles taste better.  The cans use less energy to tranport and are very easily and efficiently recylable.

And don't forget the wonderful beers from the first microbrewery in America to switch to cans!!  Lyons Colorado's own Oscar Blues.  Try their Dales Pale Ale, Gordon's, Old Chub Scottish, and the Ten Fiddy Imperial Stout.  The last three are all higher alcohol beers.  Their assistant brewer Mike Hall is a Camp Flamingo alumni and good friend.  The Ten Fiddy is his recipe...it's 10.5% alcohol and $10.50 cents for a 4-pack.  Its some awesome stuff!  If you live near Lyon's they also put it in those little 1.3 gallon kegs like you see Heinenken in.

I just read on the paper that came with our tickets that there are no tent stakes in Warner either?  Seriously?  How does one go about keeping a tent from becoming a kite?

Thanks!

(can we go yet?)

None, or none over 6 inches long?
Once you have your clothes, bedding, instruments, etc. in the tent it's not going to go anywhere unless there's gale force winds.

Thanks, Tom.  I thought it said no stakes, but maybe there was a 6-inch rule in there that I missed.  And that's a good point about clothes and gear and such.  I'm going beer shopping now!!

Short stakes - sunk at an angle.  So you don't puncture an irrigation line.  Otherwise, fill your tent with canned beer and pray there's no tornadoes! 

And as for the peanut butter, no one is searching your cooler - for glass jars of peanut butter or anything else for that matter - when you load into Warner Field.  But everyone will notice if you're stumbling around with a glass bottle of beer in hand.  All that nice, fresh grass, all those barefoot local kids that play softball, all those barefoot festivarians that are camped on the flatest, grassiest spot in town - that's what's at stake with the glass bottles at Warner.  Just please show respect for the Town's rules about glass on the field and Warner will be available for camping and Festivation for years to come.

Actually you can bring in six inch spikes 

Our tent would do fine with the stuff inside, but the rain fly should really be pegged out so it doesn't touch the tent.  I know it wont rain...  but if it does  it might pay to check how long your tent pegs are and go purchase a few under six inches  .

Anyway, we'll be in Warner too for the first time... hope to run into you and share some canned beer while checking out your six inch  tent pegs.

See you there, Erring!   

I loaded up on Dale's yesterday.  Come have a beer!
