    As this one is very close to home for us, on behalf of BeerAdvocate, @Cfahooligan, @Jason, and I just dropped $500 towards the cause. (Please don't enter us into the raffle. We just wanted to donate.)

    Donation sent. Incredible, but not surprising that us BAs could get the donations up to over $3,300. Good luck in the marathon!

    I should have posted this earlier. Martin's story really touched me. So much so that I took a sharpie to the shirt I wore in the CARA lakefront 10 the weekend after that terrible day.

    [​IMG]

    I'm sitting in a hotel room in Boston right now getting ready for Monday. I'm not ashamed to admit that my eyes are more than a bit misty right now. I'm crying thinking about it again. That shit broke me up. Can't imagine how the parents survived the pain.

    So I've been slacking at many things lately, including posting the **** from @RayOhioFelton I finally got around to picking up the box he owed me from his brother who lives in Chicago. I met up with the two of them at dark lord day and shared a couple very fine beers and he left the box owed to me from this wonderful LIF.

    [​IMG]
    Westbrook gose - permawant
    Head hunter - can never get enough of this beer
    White rajah - I really liked this last time I had it
    Hop juju - never had but definitely a want

    And then there was this ridiculousness:

    [​IMG]
    '14 huna!!! (I told ray he didn't need to put a dark lord in there since I was going to the event. I never imagined he would drop this on me!)
    Willoighby crowler - I assume this is the Peanut butter cup coffee porter you alluded to in the other thread. Sounds delicious
    Big black voodoo daddy - another killer permawant
    Jackie os - vanilla and coffee dark apparition (Super excited for this as well, as I've not had many Jackie o brews)

    Ray, way, way over the top. Thank you so much! I can't wait for the next time I have to send you a box!

    Two things

    One, I'm glad my brother didn't drink all these beers!
    Two, sometimes I get drunk and pack boxes of beer, hehe!
    C, yes peanut butter cup porter!

    Enjoy man and thanks for the Cantillon pour at DLD when I thought you were a stranger when asking, recognized you, then told everyone we are best friends!
