The 2009 Bacon and Bourbon Expo

The Astor Center has extended a special deal to members of the NYC Whisky Enthusiasts meetup group. Regular tickets for the 2009 Bacon and Bourbon Expo are $45 - if you use the code MEETUP, you get $20 off the ticket price.

It should be amazing. Here's the link and the blurb:
