    This will be my first year and WOW this is going to be amazing! So many generous BA's! I'll take a look in my cellar to see what I can contribute. Probably some Alesmith, hoppin frog, Bruery, of course Surly and a few others. Looking forward to meeting you all, see you this afternoon.

    I'm setting up a makeshift oven and baking "town hall" like pretzels. Can't wait.

    I was expecting a couple of six packs of zombie dust tonight, but it fell through. :slight_frown: Anyone coming from (or going through) Chicago picking some up from the brewery today? I have some pseudoSue bottles, other goodies. Let me know if you can help me out!

    Can't wait for tonight!!

    What time did you get in line last year and what time to you finally get to buy your bottles in the afternoon? I can't make it Friday night or Sat early a.m. and think it may be better to show up in the afternoon instead of at 11.

    They make an announcement when it's time to start lining up, around 3:30 or so. I recommend standing close to the taproom entrance at that time.

    Bringing a boom box with a Maynard mix? I will hang out at your site all night. Nice to see someone who also enjoys Trent and doesn't have a love/hate for one side.
