Finally, we got a chance to sample some ribs, and they were just as amazing as we hoped.  One Fine Morning is wrapping up one fine set.  Everyone is really enjoying all the craft beers and getting a chance to talk to the breweries at the fireside chats.  We’re getting some great tweets for the TweetParty, keep them coming! Search (and tag) #hfest2k9!!

Redbones just brought out ribs and cornbread. If lines indicate deliciousness, the ribs must be great. On the plus side, the wait for ribs means that the wait for beer is non-existent. Long Trail’s Blackberry Wheat is great.

Room is filling up. Long lines for Geary’s and Mayflower, but the lines are moving fast. Highland Kitchen is passing out deviled eggs.  Jumbo’s has someone dressed as an elephant. The first brewer talk is right around the corner.
