Dear GMers,
Here is the results of the first Muse Cup! We were honored to have over a third of our entrants from out-of-state! We had 64 entries total. There were some amazing meads that we smacked our lips over. Congratulations to the winners! Your judges comment sheets and prizes will be mailed quickly.
We had a great time! I hope that more of you are able to join up next year (in person or by entry).
And a huge "THANK YOU" to our own Wayne B who came into town the day before and was my rock (as well as a rockin' IT guy). And then judged and helped clean up. Couldn't have done it without you, man.
(back to bed now, I'm 'zhausted)
