You read right.....Canvention. Beer can and brew memorabilia collectors have one heck of a sense of humor, don't they?

Since 1975, overgrown frat boys have been meeting every mid-March to exhibit and hawk their wares. For $200 collectors get a room for three nights, a trading table at the Canvention center, plus lots of free libations.

For $15 the public can get a glimpse inside this strange Bud-on-the-brain world. Even scarier...find out what floors in what hotel the collectors occupy and pay them a friendly visit. Word is they stay up all night downing suds, trading breweriana and reliving the glory days by building beer can pyramids.
