4 elf party 2014

So they still have more left? If I was looking for a a bunch I would consider the drive.

 

Just left, still had prob 75 to 100 cases, if say through tomorrow mid day your prob good. But def lots of people were getting more so you never know.

 

Crazy that there so much extra. I posted for a 4 pack of BBPT5 and a 4 Pack of Rum elf and haven't gotten any responses yet.

 

I got there at 12:30 pm and got number 729. It was better than I thought.

 

Any cases left? What time do they close tonight?

 

My only issue was telling us "only people in line at 5:30am so at 5:15am, 4 of the 6 people in my party take most of our stuff to our trucks, get back at 5:20 & the other 2 are nowhere to be found because the line moved A LOT. There was cutting during this time as we passed a couple of people that we knew were behind us before. If they would've said the line moves at 5:20 then we would've taken stuff back earlier. Just annoying to have them say one thing then do another.
Other than that it was a great time in line (before moving) & at the party too. Oh and db pt5th was meh

 

Excellent times all around, best year yet for 4elf. The security guards kept all the riff-raft to a minimum and it was awesome catching up with BAs I haven't seen in a long time. The last band kicked some serious ass. Can't remember their name but they're from Lansing. Drinking BBPlead all night and eating VERY well made food were just the icing on the cake.

I was standing on around the bottle sales area and the lady selling literally told me "Buy all the Boubron Plead you want, please". Obviously they made a lot and I know what to do next year. No waiting all night, just get in day of, enjoy the party and pick up some BBPlead.

 

Did any cases of BBPtf survive the end of the night or did it all sell? I may head up this today if any is left.

 

100% this. Bottle share, meat sticks, great times with some incredibly generous BA's. Felt like shit for most of yesterday, only made it at the party until 3 thanks to a family Christmas party, but wouldn't change a thing, other than not eating that fucking b&g pizza.

 

Just called the general store and the guy there said he doesn't know if anything is still available and that if it is it won't be available until Monday? Wasnt too helpful...

 

Was an amazing time...Glad to see a lot of people I knew, didnt know...Fantastic food!!!! Fantastic people!!! Fantastic Beer!!! And Fantastic Event!!!

 

Cases still for sale at General store.

 

Damn I wish columbus was closer. Nice bonus for the locals.

 

Got the same response.

 

Haha, so what's the real deal?

 

This was my first 4 elf. I went alone at 8:30pm Friday, met some awesome, generous people. Tried insane beer. Had a blast. I went back for the party last night and that was a ton of fun too. I'll definitely be back next year.

 

You didn't HAVE to wait for 20+ hours. That was 100% your own choice. You have no one to blame but yourself.

 

There were lots of line cutters and people taking 2 or more forms. I got there around 6 with roughly 75 people ahead of me. With all the line cutters and people gaming the system I ended up with form number 194!! The next day during bottle pick ups there were people in that line who weren't even there the night before. I was still able to get everything except the 2012 bbpt5, but some people are real jerks. I wish there was a better system to make things fair.

 

Ya, don't drive down here, they won't sell any leftovers until tomorrow.

 

We had an awesome experience. Met so many cool people and had a blast. That being said, the line fiasco needs to be fixed. People that were nice and friendly all night turned into absolute assholes when DH had everyone take all tents, chairs, grills, etc. back to their cars. There was terrible line cutting, arguing, name calling, and threats being issued. It's really upsetting for people to take their time and stand in line for hours and do the honest thing and end up getting shut out of items they sought out because a bad few think it's ok to just cut or show up last minute to stand up front with friends who placed a chair down for them the whole night. Just sad that people can't be honest and allow those that did put in their time to reap the benefits that should be attached with doing so.

The other disappointment was the allotments of the BourbRum. We drove four and a half hours to get there at 10pm in order to be one of the first 432 so that we could get our one four pack. Even with all of the line cutting, we were so excited to see that we had forms 347 and 348. My heart sunk when I saw that the allotment said 2 four packs per person. I had hoped that meant there was much more than they announced or that it was a typo that would be rectified when filling the orders. Unfortunately, neither happened. We honestly would have just showed up in the morning at the start of the party had we known it was going to be like that. Luckily, an awesome gentleman gave my wife and I a bottle of his allotment unprovoked. We were so appreciative and couldn't get over how generous that was.

I've already seen responses to complaints of the same nature as mine and they seem to follow the "quit bitching and enjoy beer" or "the BourbRum wasn't even that great". To that, I respectfully say kiss my ass. We had a blast at the event. But we could have still done that while getting sleep and saving money to not invest into coming so early if we knew we could show up in the morning and leave with the same allotment we ended up with. And I don't personally care what others thought of the BourbRum. We loved it and would have liked to have left with our four pack of it that we rightfully should have earned by putting in the time.

All of that aside, great party, mostly awesome people, fantastic beer, and an event that I hope to return to next year.
