[THC] Interest in buying corny kegs

[jsladky at purdue.edu]

Group,
John Blichmann has also kindly volunteered to have them shipped to his place.  
This is where they were shipped the last time THC ordered a crate of kegs, as 
he said that he gets good discounts through FedEx Freight.

Linda,
Where did you order the crate from last time? Do we still have the means to 
order through them?


The tally is quickly approaching 20 and i have no doubt that we will be able to 
reach 25.  Thanks for all the quick replies so far... I hope to hear from a few 
more of you...
