    Figure now that I have a target, I should throw a hint or two out there. 1) The box is headed East. 2) I enjoy the target's avatar at so many levels...

    All right, everything is packed up and ready to go. Some nice Midwest stuff in here... Anyway, another hint: There's no sense in stopping here, as the rubber ducky would be scared by the bats. Coordinates will be on their way to help you soon.

    Dammit, I'm sure I actually did give it away this time...

    There are too few people, hints are tough. It's going out tomorrow or Thursday and will arrive in about a week. And I've been in a BIF with my target, if not personally than through Stu.

    Probably. Canadians are sneaky though so you might have missed them.

    Glad to see things made it there intact. The Dampf Loc comes from the guys who run one of the best bars in Chi-Town (Local Option)...they've been brewing their own recipes gypsy-style at a few breweries around the country, and they've mostly been pretty tasty. This is the only one that's been bottled as of yet. The homebrew is our Titty-Grabber "imperial" milk stout. Lemme know what you think of it (good, bad, meh...any and all feedback is more than welcomed so that we can continue to hone our burgeoning craft). As for the book...I've been clearing off some of my bookshelves recently and figured I'd include a little bit of entertaining math history as a bit of swag. Gotta keep all y'all BAs on yer toes!

    That said, a smaller second box with more swag (beer-related this time...promise...) and a couple more beers will be headed your way very shortly...

    Awesome. I just wanted to know if there was caffeine, I've made that mistake- drinking a caffeinated beer at midnight.
