    I think I was lurking that BIF, and I remember thinking the guy who originally got screwed ending up making out better than anyone else. Of course, I think part of that was people wanting to see kgncfl's poetry.

    And if I'm not mistaken, there are 7 common members of that BIF and ours (although a couple are sitting this round out).

    Oh yeah, then you're definitely west of me, not the other way around. Do you ever make it toward Philly?

    Yeah I've lurked in that thread a bit, I LOVE his write-ups from those boxes he got.... kinda makes me wish I got flaked out on :wink:

    It seems that the sports-related ones have a core group that jumps one to the other... Two thirds of the NBA Finals BIF group were from the NFL Draft BIF, and a few are in here too.

    Hint #6 (because I know my hint #5 didn't actually help anyone): My target lives in one of the largest cities in their state.

    On another note, I never realized how hard writing hints actually is, trying to narrow it down without giving it away straight away...

    If need be I am down to send a box to @Tee2Grn as well. I was lucky enough to have him as a sender from another BIF so what goes around could come around.
    Hint #1 Not shipping to _RL_.
    Hint #2 The state I am shipping to is south of the state of my previous target.
    Hint #3 Shipping to a state that borders water
    Hint #4 Shipping to a state that contains at least one AFC and NFC team
    Hint #5 My target hasn't specified a do not ship window, that being said I am going to ship after July 10th as two local breweries collaborated on a Blackberry Gose (targeted to release July 10th) and if that doesn't say summer I do not know what does.
    Hint #6 The state I'm sending borders the Gulf of Mexico

    I really hope I'm the texan you're sending to. That blackberry gose sounds awesome.

    We haven't seen any update on your shipping box.

    This was a great BIF and @Tee2Grn will be very taken care off, but it is better if it finished the right way.

    I'm right there with you!

    Edit: The real question is: Which one of us is @Mikexw shipping to...

    Hint 1. I am shipping east
    Hint 2. I am shipping to a state that has salt water shorelines.
    Hint 3. My target does not have a human in their avatar.
    Hint 4. The state I am shipping to has hosted multiple US Opens and PGA Championship on multiple courses.
    Hint 5. After looking at seekabrew I was shocked to find one of my "local" breweries doesn't distribute to my targets state. My sixer will include two summer beers from said brewery.
    Hint 6. My target is not the only participant from his state in this BIF

    I've added to my wants list recently and again today. I've added things that are geographically relevant. Just in case!

    I'm intrigued to find out what this growler will be of.... I'm also regretting not joining this BIF.
