I can bring that vintage(by now) Monkey Urine #5 and that crap that is made in France.
I would leave liquids at home this year......
In fact... maybe use that Monkey Urine to kill them pesky weeds over on the east side of your property!

I don't know if this has been posted before but, I really enjoyed watching it.
Clearly bourbon is not for everyone.

Bourbon glasses are the drinkers responsibility!
Same as the beer goggles from the beer tasting!

I have returned. After several year's absence I will be at this year's 2015 event. Happily, the character references finally panned out, and the parole board has released me 10 year's early for good behavior.
Upon my return, I have several concerns that I would like addressed. Of course, the coffee selection will be of paramount importance. It has always been the responsibility of the event organizers to see to it that Starbucks is an event sponsor with a kiosk. This has been a considerable expense, and I appreciate it.
In the years since my last visit my coffee palate has expanded. Yes, Starbucks is still at the top of the list. In addition to Cafe Verona whole bean, I also enjoy Pike Place again whole bean. However, I will not limit myself to just Starbucks this year. Accepable substitutes are Illy and LaVaza Rosa. Neither coffee is cheap, and whole beans will have to be imported from Italy especially for me by the event organizers.
In honor of my return, I will forgo my traditional requirement of a coffee kiosk. This year, Geives, my man-servant is bringing up the motor coach which will allieviate the need for a coffee kiosk. In addition to drawing my morning mineral water bath, Geives will have coffee brewing. Please make sure to have the fresh beans at Fontana Village in sufficient time for him to have them without delay.
In my younger and more vulnerable years, I brought Woodford Reserve to the bourbon tasting. This year, expect bottles of Four Roses and Bulleit 10 Year. Space permitting, I may also bring tequila, for the agave plant is proof that there is a god and that god loves us.
As the date for the event draws ever near, I will of course supplement my list of things that the event organizers will need for me.
Any additional concerns will need to be addressed as they arise.

^^^I agree...scrap that. Too much weight. Instead, you can turn my bed down at night. Don't forget to put a small dark chocolate on my pillow. I love it when people do that for me.
