Annual 4 Elf Party - 2015 Details

Cutting it close, you would need to be in the top 50 in line to get out and back to chicago in less than 4 hours

 

Any info on how much bbpt5 was produced this year

 

What's the chances of leaving by 1, gain an hour with time difference. Trying to make this work.

 

Slim to none and slim is heading out the door.

 

Do you know anyone who will be there willing to mule? Once you get your order form anyone can pay for and pick them up for you. Buy that person some drink tickets and you should be good.

 

Things are a little different this year so it won't be that easy to have someone else pick it up for you...

 

Anybody ever made it to the end of one of these to know how long into the night/early Sun am that the party ends? I screwed up and had previously booked a trip next week. Land at metro late Sat night. I obviously won't get an order form in Fri evening, but hoping like last year you can just walk up at the end of the night and order/pick-up all in one. Plan B is hoping there is availability in the General Store in the days after.

 

Plan B is pretty much a guarantee. Unless there is an infection (not uncommon at DH!) that hasn't been disclosed, there should be MORE than enough BBPt5 to last into the week.

 

Yeah just keep an eye out for quantities. More should be clear in the next few days in that regard. I agree that plan b should be a pretty safe bet though.

 

Everybody thought Hipsters Brunch would last for a few days, suppose to be information on the pricing on Monday hoping that has the limits/quantity.

 

Assuming that people will start shuffling in around 6pm on Friday to get order forms. Anyone have a guess to what time the bottle shares will be permitted to start that evening/ night?

 

Yeah, how late does the party go Sat night?

 

Well it's on their property so I would guess whenever people start opening bottles. I'll be bringing some of the Dark Horse sours with me to share with the people ahead of me in line to kill/desuade them from buying their allotments.

 

So driving from Canada (not, nearby, Windsor Canada) the day of will likely result in me obtaining only BBA PT5?

Anyone recall the price and allotment from previous years?

Nice lineup. I'm hoping the BA pt5 makes it to Monday. I'll make the drive if so. Sounds like an awesome party too.
