    Am I the only one that can't contain himself? Got five buddies going, scrambling for another ticket. Got multiple rooms at the Adelaide and hoarding bottles for what sounds like a possible bottle share. Last year was the best festival ever for me. Just want to start banging the drum.

    Cheers

    Funny, my group just started discussing details via BM a few minutes ago. COINCIDENCE? Yeah I guess so.

    The correct answer is no. Been waiting for this since last year.

    I'm still looking for a ticket for myself. :slight_frown:

    I figure the closer we get to the event. Offering face value of the ticket + a vintage black tuesday if anyone knows someone with an extra ticket.

    Let me know about the bottle share, I have some decent stuff. I am not going to be at the Adelaide but rather at the Motel 6 down the street.

    if the trophy-wench was FWI.

    .. but seriously I am pretty psyched. I bought tickets on a whim hearing about the event and am pumped I didn't wait on it to see if people would want to go with. The way I explained it to my brother was "From what I read about last year, this event became a pissing contest between the best breweries in the country"

    I've been excited for awhile. I wouldn't make any bottle share on Friday night (I'll probably be crashing in San Luis that night), but could be up for a little sharing post-festival. I'm at the Best Western.

    I'm a local and I would be down for a bottle share. Just need to make sure I have something worth sharing in June.

    Too bad the barrelworks doesnt fill up growlers or you would be sitting on a goldmine of beers to share.

    I have mentally prepped myself but my taste buds are still in the "oh shit we really ready for this" stage.

    the motel 6 right off the freeway? Let it be known, that is an interesting party in itself.... but there is a BBQ place within walking distance

    ISO: 2 tickets. Even if it's last minute and someone can't make it for whatever reason

    Are the tickets connected with your name and must match ID?

    Bought a ticket on a whim because it wasn't sold out after 12 hours. Stoked to go now!

    Last year they accepted hard tickets or printed tickets were not associated with names.

    Interesting in a good or bad way? I just made a reservation there.

    interesting in the sense that it is a place to sleep. I've stayed there, you won't get murdered. It does its job. a bed is a bed, right? Plus I am assuming a strong majority of you will be slightly/heavily intoxicated. It is clean enough and easy to get to most places, so no worries for you guys.

    Yeah, until you find bedbugs. Then you GTFO and sleep in your car.
