I'm going to lock in our departure time as 1:30-2 on Friday.  This will allow us to get to Russian River before the Friday after work rush somewhere just after 3 to beat the after work crowd in the door.  

I will be looking to get a solid count so I can look into transportation to the brewery.  I can definitely rent a car for the day and if turnout is large enough we can work out something more appropriate.  If there are any locals attending or others with a vehicle that are willing to transport people that would be great to know

Also, If you know a designated driver that would like to participate, I'm certain they would enjoy the food and company, I am happy to chip in on food for them.
