FOBAB 11/16/2013

Well, if I obtain a ticket {I was stunned how swiftly it sold out in 2012.}; I'll bring my camera; and I'll strive to capture more photographs of hot, smoking females {before I get ejected} as well as the beers, and the award winners.
Of course, I'll be sure to scrub the metadata from those images before uploading them, just in case.

 

Does this sellout like the day it goes on sale? I'm going to be without communication in glacier park from the 19th to the 22nd, think there will be tickets or should I leave my info with someone to buy me tickets the day they go on sale?

 

I have pictures!

 

There were times when it was hard to get water also. More water stations and make sure there's water in them. I agree with others that it was pretty damn hot, especially in the back corner where the sours and vip area was.

 

i thought last year both sessions sold out in under 10 minutes? So, you will definitely want to leave info with someone if you can.

so, maybe a suggestions would be a bigger, more centralized location with more offerings?

 

I saw a lot of water being wasted by folk rinsing their tasting glasses out, dumping the water, the filling up with water to drink. Drink your BA rinse water, people -- it's delicious! (I can't be the only one who likes it.)

 

I personally hate drinking the water that I am rinsing my cup with. All the other BAs around here like to do it though.

 

I'm sure we can all agree a spectrum of colors are acceptable. Just no purple or orange, because nothing rhymes with them. So it'll be harder to write a dirty limerick that starts "There once was a lass with pants of purple...who had on her an ass to ...gargle?..."

 

That really sucks. I loved the new location the view was great compared to the plumbers hall. Here's to hoping there are no breakdowns this time around.

 

Afternoon session sold out in about 10 minutes. Evening session was open at least a few hours. Not sure when they kicked.

 

It's very well run.

I suppose they could move the entrance line a bit faster? People said the coat check slowed things down last year, which I think is a bit exaggerated. I don't remember how long it took to get through the line and into the event, since I was part of the elevator incident.

I guess they could have one long queue to get in the door that splits into multiple queues inside the door so that you can turn more people through in a shorter time. But, you're still limited by access to the event space being largely elevator controlled, so I'm not sure how much that'd speed things up.

 

It wasn't exaggerated. It took us around 45 min to get through the long,slow entrance line for the second session. When I got in, it looked like the coat check was indeed the bottleneck. Last year was my 4th or 5th year. Until last year, I found FOBAB to be the most efficient at getting people in. Hopefully they learn from this one.

 

no exaggeration, i arrived in the parking lot at 5:50. it took me til 6:45 to get through the line, the coat check and finally stepping foot into the event itself. that would be the only thing i can think could use improvement.

 

Thanks, I stand corrected. I think I got there about half an hour before the afternoon session started and was in the building by about 20 after or so.

So, yeah, working on that line would be good. It still may have more to do with the elevators than the coat check, though.

 

By the time I got in, people were taking the stairs and there was no bottleneck after they took your ticket. The problem was the coat check was before they took tickets and it was a narrow path. The coat check was a little slow. At times no one was taking tickets to get in, because you couldnt get around the people waiting to have their coat checked. They need to not make the coat check not inline with line to get in, like it was at the old place.

 

if you can stand or walk, always take the stairs. Also you can walk down a flight of stairs for a good secret room to shag or enjoy an uncrowded bathroom.

 

looking forward to orgies and a crowded bathroom this year!

 

If you're physically able to shag during or after FOBAB you're doing FOBAB wrong.
