If ~DecemberGang~ turns out to be the rejects, I say we host our own conference.

Edit: that's 900. Onward to glory!

I'm in. Will travel literally anywhere just to bullshit, have some beers, and give a crappy talk.

Oooh what did you get?! If I get thrown a miracle and somehow get it, I'm going to go get a special beer. 

If I get rejected, I'm going to go get a "sad but at least I was right!" beer. 

Either way, I need ideas

I have a 750mL bottle of reserve Dubbel from a Belgian Trappist brewery that I got as a parting gift from a company in the southwest of the Netherlands, who I had purchased a couple million worth of packaging equipment from at my last job.  I love Trappist beers, so it's been waiting patiently for the right time.

Suggested idea if you don't have Belgian beer is find a sixer of Rogue Dead Guy.  I absolutely love that beer - used to live just an hour from their brewery.

Conference obviously needs to be somewhere amazing so we get a free trip. Vegas? Hawai'i? Tahiti?!

Vegas has cheap flights for the weekend, courtesy of spirit

Mmmmmmm I have enjoyed my fair share of Rogue Dead Guy. 

I think my insane celebration will be a Gulden Draak (best I can probably find here) followed by a healthy pour of Lagavulin

My sad/correct celebration will likely be the same - maybe a healthier pour of whiskey

Seconding the recommendation of Rogue Dead Guy - great beer, relevant name

Advisor: Did you get the fellowship?

Me: No but I found a support group and we're gonna have our own conference.

Advisor: I'm not paying for that, but go have fun.

[OhTheStress]

Sorry, my travel budget's all going to the Combustion Symposium in Australia in January.  I'll pour one out for y'all when I'm there. 

 

The problem, of course, being that when you pour one out in Australia, it goes up.

[vpaglioni3]

Every email I get is a dagger. Damn you Office Depot and your email advertisements.

if you make a big enough case, you could probably get insurance to cover it ?

That's like....perfect practice for proposal writing

Livers can be transplanted, they'll be okay

If you all are serious, this could be interesting. It would be a fun diverse conference, and if the quality is good, it would make a bigger name for yourself than any fellowship would.

[OhTheStress]

I put my special occasion beer in the fridge to chill, and now I'm afraid I angered the fickle god Murphy.
