    Yeah, I'm in. Just not a lot of energy thanks to this long-lived bug I've been battling since late January, so I've been dragging a bit.

    26th would be MUCH better for me, due to my workplace's goofy paydays.

    My cousin, when he shifted to the reserves from active duty, found himself sent to Kings Bay a couple times for his yearly stints. He was not a fan.

    What about this; since, in general, folks tend to ship a bit early, and generally send enough beer for a 2-3 NBS's, what if we have 2 "official" share dates, both the 19th and 26th? Everyone can just let me know which date works better for them, and I can let senders know.

    Does not matter to me.

    May I join?

    Am I correct in that we send a 6 pack or more of new beer to whoever we get as a partner? I never venture into this section of the forum. Haha. I love trading, and have traded for random 6ers before, so I'm all for this!

    Also, I can share March 19th or 26th. The weekend before and after that are booked.

    Also, I'd like to keep my shipping CONUS. I prefer to ship UPS/FedEx.

    Cheers.

    That list reads like Cell Block A in Beer Prison.

    How about a BIF theme built around something from "Dumb and Dumber" (if you couldn't tell from my two previous posts in this magnificent thread, I heart that movie - a LOT)? Something along the lines of this .....



    I'm not ashamed to say that "Beer Package" day is always one of my favorite days ever - I go into full-on "little kid" mode, because you never really know what's going to be in the box. Everyone I've traded with has always received "extras" from me and they've always reciprocated beyond the established parameters of the trade, which to me is the very definition of "Beer It Forward."

    So You're Telling Me There's A Chance.

    Love that movie. Your line is better than "I think I've had too many sours today."

    Just got back from SE PA about 30 minutes ago - picked up some stuff that might not be distributed very well outside of PA. Also stopped at State Line in MD - it's only an extra two hours round trip and another couple hundred bucks. I can ship for either date so whatever my target wants...

    I'm a huge newbie at all this BA stuff and I just checked out the NBS thread for today and it was awesome. If it's ok with everyone I'm in for this.

    If you guys are open to another newbie I'd love to get in, took part in my first BIF (SuperBowl Squares) recently and gave my first NBS review today. Looks like you guys have lots of fun on here! I think you guys could get quite Comfortable enjoying the beers produced with the Sweetwater that flows through this Southern state, I know the Turtles do!

    Sending out three boxes tomorrow. Need to renew the stock and finances. I'm only going to lurk on this one, but I'll be back on the next one.

    I'm all for "the more the merrier" but I'd encourage you to check out our last thread, as SammyJaxxx mentioned:
    https://www.beeradvocate.com/commun...ives-nbs-bif-4-hintz-and-haulz.447425/page-30
    And consider that this group REALLY participates in the thread. There's a lot of creativity in our little subculture that includes creative hints, researching the targets "likes" and "wants" and past reviews (this takes time, effort, and thoughtfulness).
    I'm not trying to discourage anybody. Simply trying to give a little context, from my perspective, to help potential newcomers make an informed decision.

    Cheers

    Just read through a bunch of the NBS bif #4 thread. It seems like one of those things that the people who are getting the most fun out of it, are also the ones who are putting the most in. I am all for that, so count me in for this one. It really does look like a lot of fun.
