    Is it just coincidence that my first post on this thread came right after your hints. Hmmmm :wink:

    Quite the coincidence!! I was cracking up after seeing your first post on this thread was right after my first post also. Anyway, seems like my hints were a little too easy, but oh well! Looking forward to sending some west coast gifts your way brutha. Please update your wants if you have anything you want that isn't on there already. Cheers!

    By my spreadsheet I hadn't ruled you (and 4 others) out yet, but considering my previous post, that spreadsheet likes to lie to me a bit. That said, I think this hint should clear it all up:

    Hint #??: if you live in a state that had a player voted into the Hall of Fame this year, you are my target.

    With my own list of potential senders, I'm not including those who haven't yet posted hints. It's more of a logic problem of elimination vice confirmation, since no one has posted hints specific enough to confirm me (and, if they're geographic - or even avatar related, apparently - they apply just as easily to @Homebrew ).

    Back for a second to what @beertunes proposed: who else to invite into this for the next NBS BIF? Most of the people I would want are already here, or were invited but opted out. However, a few folks come to mind - BAs who are very giving with beer, and even if they aren't involved on the weekly NBS thread, certainly embrace the spirit of this BIF:

    And hey, if a BIF encourages people to join NBS once or twice, then the more the merrier. :slight_smile:

    As for the next round, I think @Doogflaggat should be invited for sure.

    Matter of fact, s/he's only replied to this thread once, and that was at least 6 pages ago.

    To recap (feel free to skip to # 12 if you've read these):

    Eastern Washington and/or Northern Idaho from me to my target
    Looks like things will be heading east. Not much of a hint, as there's only about 300 miles of west from where I live, at least in the lower 48. In other totally unhelpful hints, I've been in my target's state, but was on a train the entire time.
    Hint # 3 from me: If asked if I will be shipping ales or lagers, I would reply, "Yes."
    Hint # 4 - My target is near the eastern seaboard, but is south of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
    Hint # 5 - My target's address is in a city mentioned in a song by a somewhat reclusive and sometimes irascible musician. This song may have found it's way into a film.
    Next three hints are historical in nature, so my target would have to be in touch with the background of the city in his address – my apologies if too obscure:
    Hint # 6 – A former Vice President was once a resident of the city my package will be sent to. If he hadn’t made the bad career move of dying, he would have become President himself.
    Hint # 7 – A founding father was instrumental in creating the city my target has as his address by helping form a company that led to it’s establishment near some “great falls,” (that’s NOT the name of the city).
    Hint # 8 – Speaking of founding fathers, three people of that era are mentioned early on when you look up the page devoted to this city on Wikipedia.
    Hint # 9 – My target has posted early but not often (on this thread, anyway). He may be out of town.
    Hint # 10 – My target could be a member of an unimaginatively named 70s supergroup. Or maybe he just works in a profession that needs a little knowledge of Latin.
    Hint # 11 (sort of) The person shipping to my target is a little concerned about the weather between here and there.
    Hint # 12 - My target goes by a name that is exxxxtra special (pretty much just gave it away).

    After the demise of my college team's season I'd been in need of a new avatar for several weeks, and Cam provided a pretty good inspiration for a new one last night!
