>From Stephen Marler, competition organizer:

For of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these: 'It might have
been!'
John Greenleaf Whittier

It is Saturday, May 18.  You have just finished mowing the lawn and are
kicking back watching the NBA play-offs.  You open one of your home brews,
take a swig, sigh, and say "damn that's good, I should have entered it!"
But alas, it is too late.  At that same moment judges at the Spirit of Free
Beer are busily evaluating beers that were entered.  What might have been.
You could have been a contender.

You can avoid this situation.  You still have time.  Don't let it slip by.
Right now, go to the SoFB web site
(http://www.burp.org/events/sofb/2002/entryform.htm) and print out the
registration forms.  Fill them out.  Go to the copy machine and copy as many
as you need.  Do it, do it now!  Once you get home, pull out three bottles
of each of your home brew, or bottle some.  Attach the bottle label, pack
them into a box along with an entry form and a check.  Do it now, if you
wait, it will be too late.

Now what!  Well you have three options; you can mail it to SoFB 2002 c/o
Jay's Brewing Supplies, 12574 Garland Tree Court
Fairfax, VA 22033; you can take it to one of the many drop-off points in
Maryland and Virginia (see
http://www.burp.org/events/sofb/2002/faq.htm#dropoff for a list); or you can
bring them to the BURP meeting this Saturday (May 11) and drop them off
there.  If you want to come to the BURP meeting to drop-off your beers and
are not a member, contact Bob Kepler at kepler`at`burp.org
