    A hint to my target: my favorite baseball player / idol growing up is a Hall of Famer that played on a team located in your city.

    My target either likes it raw,
    Flows like the blood on a murder scene,
    Or moves with the speed of centipede..a ninja
    (any muthafuckin' contender)

    Cheers

    If someone was mistaken they might think my trade partner lived in a highly populated area which is roughly 1100 times larger than where they actually live.

    Just as a heads up, I'll be gone from the 3rd-10th in case someone was thinking of shipping early.

    Alright time for another hint:

    To my target - we have participated in at least one BIF together but I have never had you as a target.

    Your box is coming together nicely. Cellar picks have been made and I am now waiting for the onslaught of fresh hop beers to round out the rest of the box.

    PNW + fresh hops = amazingness

    Thanks to a friend who is in Tampa today, my box is complete. Will only be hitting two wants, but they're from the same brewery. Due to the long ride my box will be going on, I'll be shipping it out on the 10th!

    Because my target said they wouldn't mind getting the box at anytime and I've got everything I need, my box will be heading out on Tuesday following the Monday holiday. If I had to guess, I'd expect a Friday arrival. There's some nice local IPA's out now that wouldn't be as fresh if I waited another 3 weeks. All the hoppy beers are fresher than 1 month, and 2 bottled within the last 2 weeks. There's some darker, less hoppy beer for my target as well.

    I'm going to try and set the right tone for this BIF, so I packed my box like a fort. It's double boxed in good-shape boxes designed to be used for packaging wine, and I used almost a roll of heavy duty packaging tape I stole from my job.

    Hints: I'm a little worried about the non-beer item and the heat, but it should be wrapped well enough not to ruin anything in case of the worst. There's 112oz of 6 unique beers (and 2 of the beers have an additional 2nd bottle). I hit 2 wants, and I'm hoping a few "should-be-wants". All the beer is from MA except one bottle, which I got on a weekend getaway (<200 miles away, do't worry) along with some matching swag (and 1 piece of random brewery swag on the same trip). I really tried to showcase what MA beer is all about in this box. MA: "More than just really good distribution of outside the state breweries!"

    My "target" and a chair were in the news lately. Hope that one doesn't give it away...

    My box is packed and ready to go, hoping to get it out Tuesday. It is full of CCB with some really small locals thrown in. My target is WEST of me and I think the weather is always nice.

    Yeah well, did not work out that way. Forgot about it this weekend. Will be shipping Monday for sure. Tapped up and ready to go.

    Box to my target is shaping up nicely. Hope to make it to Freetails big bottle release next Saturday to put the finishing touches on a big haul from Texas.

    Another hint: My favorite player grew up having to eat a lot of potatoes.

    My box is coming along nicely but I wont be shipping until after September 24th. However, there is no reason for my Target to get surly as their patience will be rewarded by getting a taste of the Fest I am going to on the 22nd of September and by waiting I will be able to get them all wet!
