    Hint #1: everyone get super excited. (ir)regardless of who your target or santa be, this is going to be great.

    Hope everyone's porch is well fortified...

    Just a reminder, we're trying to keep it small and non-intimidating.

    Haven't done a BIF in a long time.
    I am really looking forward to sending someone somethings they haven't tried.

    Thanks for putting this together

    You already have the target info? Did I miss a mail?

    He set up the targets, so... :wink:

    But to second the point, should I/we have more information at this point than we do? Not trying to be "pushy" just don't want to be "that guy" because I missed something. So am I over-anticipating, or did I miss something? I am assuming the former, really. We got time.

    You did not miss a mail; I'm waiting on @beertunes to send me a finalized list of participants (there were one or two up in the air); then I'll send out BMs to everyone. These will be requesting your address and a bit of information, please get back to me ASAP, the sooner I get the info to your sender the more time they have to build you a great box of beer!

    Sorry @Lehighace06 and @beertunes . The question was based partially upon the "my target" comment of beertunes but mostly upon my extreme inadequacy using this new technology...:grimacing:

    But like @cjgiant said, I don't want to be "that guy."

    I greatly appreciate the work you to are doing to put this together, and i definitely don't want to come off as pushy.

    Well honestly, if I had understood my own writing, we would have the list out by now. I'll penalize myself by not drinking any beer yesterday.

    Since he's the one that assigned all the targets, he knows who it is even though BMs haven't gone out yet. Not being pushy at all, in fact your message catalyzed @beertunes and I realizing we were essentially waiting on each other, so thank you for keeping us on track.

    Unless we screwed something up, all targets are out. Please get back to me with your info ASAP!

    Keep in mind I'll likely copy/paste the info, so make it an easy to read format :slight_smile:


    Have fun everybody!

    My target lives in the same town as my Opa and his wife. I don't know about longjohns or a belt, but boots are in the right place.
