    What do I see on my porch this morning, but an unexpected bomb. @Avelasquez80, you are the man. Considering the circumstances, you didn't have to send me a box, but you really killed it. Thank you.

    Jester King Autumnal Dichotomous: Sounds tasty!
    Lone Pint Yellow Rose: Have had before and really looking forward to revisiting.

    Swag: Freetail Brewing glass. Now I can be twinsies with @JNForsyth!
    Freetail Brewing Bexarliner: I love a good sour and with cherry, you can't go wrong.
    Freetail Brewing Local Coffee Stout: Looking forward to this one as well. Coffee is definitely my second favorite beverage.

    Lakewood Brewing: Raspberry, French Quarter, and base Temptress. The BBA Temptress was awesome and I'm stoked to do a side by side with these!!

    [​IMG]
    Community Beer Company Mosaic IPA: Mosaic is awesome. Should be very tasty.
    Live Oak Hefeweizen and Pilz: The Hefe is a major want. I've heard fantastic things about this beer and will drink one tonight for sure. Didn't know these guys did a Pils. Since it's getting warmer out, should be good to drink outside while hanging.
    Realtail 2016 Orange Marmalade IPA. I'm guessing this is from Freetail based on the bat logo. Looking forward to this as well.

    @Doogflaggat, glad everything made it ok!! The Realtail is a collaboration between Real Ale and Freetail, both here in TX. I was really trying to find you that Sin Mint Temptress, but every single store within a 100 mile radius didn't have it so I had to settle for just 2 variants and the base. Hope you enjoy!!

    Well let's not waste any time, these cushions have places to go and beer to transport.

    Time for the next round of the CIF (Cushion It Forward)!

    Invite list: Obviously anyone in the Newbie BIF is encouraged to participate. I'll open this up to lurkers as well. The only requirement is at least 5 trades and 100% feedback. In the spirit of the Newbie BIF anyone with less than 5 trades or with less than 100% feedback is welcome to join with a veteran sponsor. Veteran lurkers are also welcome. I will ask that you only sign up if you are committed to keeping the #CIF going.

    The beer: In an effort to keep the #CIF moving along I'm going to limit the beer to a 6-8 bottle shipper with a range of 100 oz. to 152 oz. of 85+ Rated beer, or 4.1+ rAvg if there are too few scores for a rating. Beer must be from outside your target's distribution.

    How it works: If you want a chance at these red chair cushions all you have to do is send me a BM titled "#CIF I'm in!". Include your name, full shipping address (work or home?), phone number, email address, and your Untappd name (optional). Let me know about any shipping date restrictions and style preferences. I'd like to get this box to the new recipient by the end of the week, so I'm going to close signups at noon on Sunday but won't ship until after next weekend.

    Rather than announce the recipient I will ninja the box out. The lucky BA who is surprised by Chad's cushions will add their BA handle and location to the cushions with a permanent marker.

    At this point the sign ups will start over and anyone who hasn't received the #CIF box is eligible. If we get to a point where no one signs up then @pnelting becomes the target by default.

    Good luck!

    A wild Bristopher reappears from the depths of the springtime streets of Austin to let you know that he has some extra Sin Mint Temptress he could send you.

    HI GUYS I MISS YOU. Life's been super nuts the last couple months. Been working my ass off to make sure things stayed manageable, but trading has had to take a bit of a backseat for a little while. Anywho I've got lots of reading to go back and catch up on (something like 50 pages!) and check out what kind of porch devastation y'all laid out in round 3. Whenever round 4 goes down, I AM IN!

    A curious Doogflaggat accepts and can send gratuitous PA things in return.

    A cardboard box, with a few holes, and weighing approximately 30 pounds has been left upon the doorstep of a humble California abode. Hopefully all in one piece.

    hadn't see that before. first thought, too many females in that fake audience.. that's not a real Rush show :slight_smile:

    although to be fair, those guys helped make one of the best skit ever shown at a show, they sneak backstage into the bands dressing room, eat the food, etc.. priceless.. and the outtakes too.

    I love you man was a really good movie. But probably because I dig rush. Nothing like 80 concerts, but I've seen them 4 or 5 times.

    Send me your address and i'll have a box out monday for ya, obviously it will not just be one bott as everything is bigger in Texas. You can pop some retribution botts in there and return fire. I have heard tell that Pennsylvania has great "milkshakes" recently.

    only them funny Eastern Pennsylvanians.. either they didn't buy powerful enough trucks to climb the mountains in the middle of the state to make it over here, or they are just jealous of our sports teams :stuck_out_tongue:
