Whisky How I Missed Ya

I had a chance to go to the Malt Advocate's Whisky Fest in Chicago this upcoming Friday. Free ticket. I just had to get to Chicago. And I could, but not early enough to warrant going. Ten years ago, I would have gone regardless, but having passed another birthday recently, I'm more than aware of my age. Just to rub the salt in, this is what I'm missing out on:

"America's Largest Whisky Celebration featuring more than 200 of the world's finest, rarest, and most expensive, single malt and blended Scotch, Irish, bourbon, Tennessee, Japanese, Welsh, Canadian and other whiskies from around the world to sample in one Grand Ballroom. Attendees will also enjoy an expansive gourmet buffet all evening and will receive a commemorative Glencairn whisky glass. "

Wow. All I can say is that I need to plan better for next year.
