Awesome, thank you for putting this together and posting it.

You're welcome, Kevin! Funny, I was just listening to your Plantation 3 Stars show earlier; nice info there. Thanks for that!

Awesome, thanks for listening. I'll be at Oasis as well and would be happy to mix a cocktail as a thank you for the music mixes.

Wow, I'll take you up on that, Kevin. Pretty sure I'm slated to attend Martin Cate's second symposium on Saturday (although I really should second-check that). Might be a great place to pick up some new drink ideas!

And a thanks from those of us who can't be there in person but can now get a little of the "vibe" :wink:

You're welcome, Rum Balls! Sorry you can't make it out this year - we'll have a drink (or two) in your honor!
