Stupid news from the Oregon Brewers Festival website:

After 19 years of promoting the Oregon Brewers Festival as a community event, we regret that we will not be allowed to have minors under the age of 21 on the festival premises in 2007. The Oregon Liquor Control Commission has stipulated no minors be on-site, citing OLCC Rule 845-006-0340 (7) (a) in which “eating predominates” and the premise must not have a “drinking enviroment”. In order to view this rule, please go to here and click on “Laws and Rules”. Click on OLCC Law Book. This will open up a PDF file for viewing.

The OLCC needs to be overthrown. I believe I know just the men to do it. . . .
