Anyone planning to attend Nationals in Omaha? If it wasn't for the venue, I would swim at SCY Nationals. You got to admit, competing in the Olympic Trials pool merely a few hours after Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps made a splash is awesome!
Drinkers could easily do a 50 free with no visible difference after drinking a six pack. A better event would be something like a 200 free where you have to guzzle a beer at each wall before continuing. Now that would separate the men from the boys! Somehow I doubt USMS would officially endorse either event, though.
Or perhaps 200 back, where not only do you have to drink the beer, but then must balance the empty can on your forehead for the next length?
Gather all competitors into a single room from which they cannot leave. Approximately 1 hour before the start of the race, hand out six :chug: to everyone, which must be completed prior to the race. Then after everything settles into place. Line 'em up, and watch 'em go!! :applaud:

Is there going to be a meet social?
It would probably be Saturday night
The social is planned for Friday night at the Mattress Factory (right across the street). They have pulled pork and brisket, potatoes, cole slaw, corn, salad, rolls etc. type fare and will have a live band. And beer of course! Tickets will be sold at meet registration.
Details will be emailed out as part of the pre-meet email newsletters (sent to those who entered the meet).

Let's do a Forum Dinner at Nationals
Would y'all prefer Thu, Fri, or Sun night?
We'll pick a close spot, walking distance from the pool.
Set the time for 6:30 or 7:00 or after relays are done if we pick a relay day
