    I will be hitting some wants...and I'm a huge lambic fan. Just sayin...

    Also, I received my end of this BIF just before I left for vacation. I will be home Monday, but I don't think it's practical to say I'll be able to ship the same day. I still have some things to get. Brandon, if it's ok...I will ship the following Monday.
    More hints will follow(sorry...have very little Internet access on vaca).

    Alright kids, all bottles are gathered...swag in hand...target selected! Plan on shipping tomorrow.

    About 6 wants hit, and lots of my favorites.

    Hint 1: We have both traded with biglobo (hahahahaha)

    its pretty amazing, I filled this BIF with BA's that I knew were solid ones and ones I had traded with in the past. We could almost play a "5 steps of seperation" and almost every BA overlaps another several times over.

    2 things to report:

    First: another box showed up at my shop today. My swag!! Thanks again Beerdy!! Unfortunately I left work in a foul mood today and forgot the box. But from what I can remember, there was a shirt(I'll have to report later as to what brewery it was from...as it's new to me), also a matching bottle from this brewery...a DIPA...if I remember correctly, and a new tick for me! Also, a super sweet snifter from FiftyFifty Brewing. In fact, it's an Eclipse Stout snifter if memory serves. Very cool Beerdy...thanks for all the awesome stuff!

    Second: I packaged up 4 boxes today. Labels are on, and ready to be picked up tomorrow by my FedEx guy. 3 of the boxes will be going to my target. 2 of them are super heavy. 1 is a 12-bottle styro shipper, the other has 2 6-packs of some of my local favs, a growler of a local one off, and about 8 other beers. The 3rd box has the swag. The 4th box I'm sending out is heading your way Brandon. Nothing too biga' deal, just a thank you for running this BIF. I was hoping to be the last recipient of this BIF so I could send to you...but I won't complain. Anyway, I know you dig your hops...so enjoy!

    So, I've always been really bad at hints...so I'll continue to be bad at it: My target is not in my time zone(EST).

    Does this mean those of us in eDt still have a chance?

    perhaps...although MI may have seen a delivery by now. Just sayin'

    Appears all 3 boxes to my target are set to drop August 14th. Therefore, it should be obvious that 5 to 6 days of shipping would be on the other end of the country from me.

    So it has occurred to me that my target has not been very vocal in this thread at all. Now I'm hoping that he hasn't forgotten about this BIF and will know what the 3 boxes that show up at his door are for(probably the biggest hint yet).

    Haha! I may not have posted but I've been lurking on here the entire time! I was sitting in the theatre watching batman (which was epic!) when my phone was going nuts, 3 boxes are at home! I know ive traded with lobo but I didnt think I was next considering it was just out this way.

    Will report when I get home, trying to get my ass to toronado first! I am very excited man.

    Edit: August 14th huh? Well I certainly hope those are from this bif lol

    Huh??? Who said you're my target? ;o)

    BTW, have no way of checking the tracking number until I get home, but EVEN if you were the target...no way they made it from Philly to Cali in 4 days!

    Edit: Toronado ehh? Feel free to send me a t25 if you like the 3 boxes you got today...even though they're probably from someone else! ;o)
