Folk on MLD might be interested to know that this coming November, the
8th and 9th, there will be a conference, Planet Buzz!, celebrating mead, 
cider and perry in Chicago.  There will be a judging of commercially
produced meads and ciders for the International Mead Competition and
International Cider Competition, along with other scheduled events.

This first time event is being organized by Ray Daniels along the same
general guidelines used in producing the Real Ale Festival, a 
successful Chicago event over the last 6 years.  Ray, along with 
the Chicago Beer Society, have done well with the Real Ale Festival
(see realalefestival.com).  Currently it draws 2500 attendees a year
from more than 30 states and four countries.  Ray and co. are hoping
to have similar success with Planet Buzz!

There is a preliminary web site at www.meadfest.com which is still
under construction.  A flyer announcement and information for 
participating meadmakers are available as pdf files.  After Sept. 1
the site should have more detailed info available.
