Okay Hanover, here's an original thought. Beer Fizzies! Just add water! I came up with that idea when I was 19 (not to imply that it has been 30 years since I last had an original thought. ) You could carry a case of beer in a container the size of a pack of smokes, great for high country backpacking! The only problem was figuring out how to convert alcohol into a powdered form. My limited science background told me it wasn't possible. Leave it up to the Japanese to figure out this stuff, and they did a couple decades later. They figured out how to suspend alcohol in a gelatin crystal, and used it to make powdered cocktails, just add water!

The BOD vote still has me stunned. I completely agree that leaving things like they were for this year's convention would have been much better than what has happened.
