    I'll egg you on a little more, Homebrew, that you are correct that I'm sending to Connecticut. :slight_smile::wink:

    Since I'm new to the BIF hint forum thing, I wasn't sure how long I had to draw out hint giving v. being coy or whatever. I'm not even sure I have coy in my blood.....

    I gave mine away last week and shipped today, I just couldn't deal with nobody guessing and all the cheezy hints so I put out one good hint and that did it

    Yeah, I thought I had it figured out after he said we share a tshirt size, but I'm always overly self conscious and didn't want to be publicly wrong/I felt like guessing incorrectly that it was me would be some sort of arrogant self-centered something or other (it's all about me!!)...

    NOT saying that anyone making guesses is being self centered or anything at all. Obviously, that's just silly. But that's how my anxiety and paranoia work in conjunction to keep me from being even more loud and obnoxious than I already am.

    Just dropped my box off at UPS.

    Hope you have as much fun destroying it as I had putting it together, Ian (I'm sure you will). I'll send you the tracking info tonight when I have time to sit down and look at it.

    Alright, my final hint is twofold:
    1: Even if you masterfully unwound all of my trickery and 'clever' wordplay, you still would not know the full contents of this box. That is because I have kept the full extent of the truth from you!
    B: I finally snagged the last piece of the puzzle this morning after work, and the box is in the capable hands of FedEx, and should be arriving at your (@rgordon)'s home (OK, that's not really a hint, that's more flat out telling my target who he is :stuck_out_tongue:. I guess we can add that one to the list now too @JNForsyth !) early to middle of next week. Forecast has it in the 30s-50s range, so I feel pretty comfortable with that. Would you like a tracking number? 772563029392.

    As @ZebraCakez intoned: I hope the emptying the box is as fun as the filling it was.

    PS. I was going to write a note. I was super excited to tell some stories about some of the contents; why I chose them or some background on them in my life or which ones corresponded with which HaulHints and why or just some anecdotes about the process of acquiring them. Got the box taped up and realized that in my excitement I hadn't even written the note yet let alone slipped it in the box. Maybe I'll write it this weekend and send it along via email this weekend.

    Cheers!

    Or, a nice hand-written note on a card featuring some local scenery is always nice.:wink:

    As a bit of house keeping, is everyone satisfied with the way things are going? Does anyone have concerns or worries? If there are any issues developing, I'd rather be out ahead of them, rather than playing catch-up.

    It looks like a lot of us will have beer by this weekend, I'd like to remind everyone to save at least a bottle or two for the "official" NBS bottle share on the 25th. I'll be posting a couple this week, and still saving a couple. Cheers all!

    the problem is going to be saving beer until the 25th. I'm pretty sure I can speak for most of us an say this probably the most fun I've had trading in awhile. I can't wait for another round of Nbs bif

    Everything is perfect as far as I'm concerned.

    I just want it to arrive at its destination safely so I can breathe again (LoL!).

    Have to admit, I didn't have you pegged. Then again, the hints were: East, South, and original 13. :wink: (Ooh, and Wants; now I'm intrigued! I can't think of anything off-hand from Minnesota, but I'm sure you have access to lots.)

    @beertunes this has been a ton of fun so far. I think you can tell by the oz shipped that some of us are probably a little too excited. :wink: But you and @Lehighace06 have done a great job, and a ton of groundwork, to get this up and running. Thanks to you both, and cheers!

    Nice, I thought it was you....Thanks and I look forward to some NW goodies. Cheers all, this should be a bunch of fun! I'm sending Tongorad a separate note this week.

    I will be sending to Premo88 and already notified him, so you can add that one to the list.

    Without going through 13 pages of stuff, I don't know the answer to this. Is this ongoing list of pairings made once the target identifies their sender? Or once anyone identifies a pairing?

    The reason I ask is because in other BIFs, the latter may not be appreciated by someone who is playing along and hasn't done as good a job as someone else may have in determining their sender. Within the NBS group obviously do whatever you guys want to do, but since I know some of you are interested in joining other BIFs, I thought I would prevent a potential future faux pas.

    And fwiw, thank you, but I give most of the credit to @beertunes, all I did was a little advice and a few BMs. :wink:
