    I think I'll be there. I don't have a ticket yet but I see a lot for sale on Craigslist and am willing to wait until the price gets back to the original selling price. I am not buying a ticket for $20 for more than it was originally bought for. PS... If you have an extra one you want to sell I'll be glad to take it off your hands so I can avoid the whole show up day of deal. I live in Grand Rapids BTW...

    I'll be there a little before noon with the folks and some friends.

    The list of beers looks pretty epic this year. What is everyone looking forward to trying?

    By far, the Dark Horse list steals the show

    Agreed, I figure I'll spend most of my tokens there.

    I'll be there lurking around Dark Horse most of the day. Getting in at noon... may do a little warming up before, but after going through that list I am not sure if I can.

    I am likely going to be there. Will be there early for an event with Arcadia at 9. Likely a Bell's or Pintsize (avatar to the left) hoodie on.

    Trying Dark Horse's Bourbon Barrel 666 will probably be worth the price of admission alone. Sarsaparilla Six was probably my 2nd favorite beer from the 4 Elf Party (behind BA Pt5). Here's to hoping they bring it out for the Summer Fest.

    Coming up from Chicago and staying in downtown Grand Rapids - is it worth bringing up beers to trade over the weekend? Hoping to find some CBS while up there...

    I am hoping to be there around 12 also...but I am rolling up with a crew of about 12 of us so I'm sure it will be closer to 2pm :angry:

    Not sure if you've been there in years past, but I strongly suggest you don't show up at 2. If you do, you'll be waiting outside for quite a while. Should get in line around 12 if you actually want to get inside by 1:00-1:30.

    I'll be there with 4 others. I'm looking forward to the DarkHorse and Shorts tent. Also pumped the weather will actually be winter and not 50 degrees.

    I know, I was being sarcastic because they like to dilly-dally every year. This is the 4th year in a row we have been to this and it keeps getting more redonkulous

    I'm also looking for a ticket if anybody has an extra.
