The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

Let's get this rolling...

NBO - Horizontalhood Trip #13
If you would like to be in consideration to be the recipient of a 6-shipper box filled with great stuff, please BM me your shipping address (or just say "it's in the directory"). If you would prefer to skip this trip and sign up for a future trip, don't send me anything and wait for the next person to post their NBO to sign up. Also, please let me know IF there are any specific styles you do or don't like, since that may impact what's in the box or who I choose. Signup period ends at 11:59PM on August 22 Saturday night I will randomly select the recipient and start posting hints as to who it is. Box will be shipped shortly after the winner is chosen!

See official rules below....
----------------------------------------------
How Horizontalhood works:
1) Some of my favorite beers have come from a brewery “Sampler” trade where I ask my trading partner to throw in a whole brewery’s lineup. If I didn’t do this, I would have only had Lunch, and not a tiny beautiful something. I might have only had Jai Alai and not Tocobaga. I night have only had Miller Lite and not MGD (just seeing if anyone is paying attention). So the purpose of this BIF is to showcase your local brewery’s line up and send something that wouldn’t normally be asked for. Show that your local brewery is not a one trick pony.
2) The current holder of the Horizontalhood box will make a post in the Locals BIF thread saying that the signup period for the next Trip is open and will be open for 2 or 3 (or 9) days. Anyone that would like to be a potential target for the box would send their address information in a BM to the current holder of the box. To be eligible the person must have:
a) participated in Locals BIF rounds 1, 2 (summer 6'er), 3, 4 (Winter 6’er), ACJ BIF or be one of the new faces (avatars) that have recently joined us prior to this Trips NBO post -- that's basically the guys (and gal) in the directory and about 3 or 4 others.
b) have not already received the Horizontalhood box.
3) After the signup period is over, the current holder will randomly pick the next lucky recipient of the Horizontalhood box. They will not announce this person nor the number of people that signed up, but instead will start posting hints as to where the box is going (BIF style hints). If no one signs up to be the next recipient then, as the original founder, @Clarkson will be the final recipient (hopefully without him knowing that it is coming to him).
4) The holder of the Horizontalhood box will fill the box with high quality local bottles from A SINGLE LOCAL BREWERY ONLY, and ship it to the target. Make it a kickass box, but with this group of people I know we won't have to worry about that. Also, add the targets name to the tracking board in the box and add any 'decorations' that you wish to help commemorate the box's visit to your state. You may add one piece of swag in place of one beer, but it has to come from the brewery that is in the box.
5) Once the box is received by the target, they will post the pr0n for all to enjoy.
6) Start over at #1

You do not have to enter every signup period. You can pick and choose when you want to be in consideration to be the next recipient. This would be nice if the current holder of the box is from your own state or an adjoining state.
Cheers!

Sign ups will end at 11:59 PM PT Saturday August 22nd.

 

Whew, after 4 days of radio silence my LIF box is in the target state... Should be on a truck tomorrow! Pray for the growler!

 

Brewery only

 

I don't even want to try and understand this...

 

The sixtercan is still in single digits, and honestly is sort of a "scary box" for me. I just don't want to increase the amount of beer I have in the house right now, and depending on who my target is I might not be able to satisfy them with existing inventory. I DID do the other two boxes, but both in the last few months when I basically decided I didn't want them to finish their rounds without me. Besides, those were both awesome ideas, but not ridiculously large ounce quantiies. And while these boxes are awesome ideas, I DO enjoy the real rounds (like the current one) the best, and with all the LIF's and ninja boxes and whatever else going on I think we want to avoid overkill. Do whatever you think is best, but my recommendation would be not to start anything new until one of the current circulating boxes is back to the originator.

 

I will want to sign up once I know I'm not getting the other two boxes...

 

bummah

 

I got a bit... If you want, hit me up.

 

LIF winner has been identified by @NickyPogs ... Box will be out soon.

 

LIF winner has been nominated by @Dave_Treat

I'm packing tonight. Box is headed west.

 

Sixterhood is boxed up and will be hitting the road tomorrow

Hint #1: It will be traveling into new territory as far as Sixterhood history goes.

 

Hint #1: Easy

 

I definitely wouldn't do another "big" travelling box, likely another 6-shipper, I just need to come up with a theme to make it interesting.

I certainly enjoy the shotgun rounds too, but I think the travelling boxes help keep the group (and thread) alive in between them, so I want to ensure we have those ongoing for a long, long time.

I also like, and would definitely continue, the way we've done structured these that sign-ups for something that could last a year or more are not required up front, but are ongoing. It both allows a greater degree of movement in and out of the group (people that fall away aren't still committed, and those that join aren't excluded), as well as allows for better control of when you receive a relatively unexpected box, which is needed with how much we have going on at any given time.

 

Still deciphering the last paragraph...

 

Dirty Mike. Dirty... (The misspelling of week--"wee"--didn't help either, did it...)

 

I was actually thinking about starting a small (two or three bottle shipper) for the Meaderhood, but not sure there would be enough interest.

 

I don't know what you just said but "you special"....those #runonsentences tho

 

If we posted our hauls from that, we may get in trouble

Hopefully I'm leaving The Abyss. Thanks @Damian74Shensky
