Update: Michael Jackson Tutored Tasting at Penn


Back when I first heard that Randy Mosher author of, Tasting Beer: An Insider's Guide to the World's Greatest Drink, would be guiding the tasting for the 20th Annual Michael Jackson Tutored Beer Tasting at Penn I jumped over to the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology website to get more details. Oddly nothing was listed on their calender of upcoming events. The only information out there was from other bloggers and those in the beer biz.

However yesterday I uncovered a link to ticket sales. Philly Beer Fests.ticketleap.com . This seems to point you in the right direction to make a purchase but it still didn't offer anymore than the general information that's already out.

I don't get it. For such a well known and professionally run event so far the overall promotion of it is terrible. You would think the promoters would want the word out in a big, big way. I'm most surprised that the Penn Museum calender of events for March still doesn't have it posted. This isn't 2 or 3 months out it only a month away. We can only hope things improve in the next couple weeks. I hate to see a great event end up having a less than great turnout.
