PBW 2008 - Wednesday March 12th Schedule



Here is a slimmed-down view of just the events scheduled for Wednesday the 12th. It's one last opportunity to change your mind! I will also denote where I will attempt to be during the day.

I've taken liberties to modify the descriptions for each event to conserve space. As always, refer to the official schedule of record over at PBW 2008 website for complete details.

** Where to find The Brew Lounge on 3/12:**
  • North Coast at SPTR sounds great
  • So does a drink and a read with Joe Sixpack at Johnny Brenda's
  • But, best bet might be to catch me somewhere along the Brewer's Tour...we'll see
