Stout BIF Round 4 Hints & Hauls

Vanilla Java!

The folks at the hotel in Salt Lake City looked at me funny when I borrowed the luggage cart to bring about 6 cases of wine and beer inside for the night. No way I was leaving that stuff in my car.

 

@StrongRepublican It appears we have our first casualty.... You know, you read about this sort of thing happening. But you never think it can happen to you. It only happens to other people...

 

Dam. That sucks man. It's such a shitty feeling. Hopefully nothing too nice was lost.

Godspeed precious box.

 

I guess the only good news from this is that they aren't confiscating it. They asked me what was inside, I answered that I genuinely did not know. They said it is already on the trailer heading back to Colorado.

 

Eek, hope things aren't too bad.

 

I can confirm said landing having been present for the unpacking... I was just as excited to see all the goodies being a huge MI beer fan.

It hurts my soul a bit to see this... I will find out exactly how extensive the sadness is when it makes it back to me

 

damned shame, here is a little beerporn to try to lighten up the mood, from a side trade with @jbdpsu82


Dude killed it with the extras, even gave me guard cat to protect the brews.

More to come, my friend. My eyes are open for the elusive Big Gruesome.

Note to my target: A little delayed on getting out your next box. I'll ship early-mid next week.

 

I just got some Big Gruesome at the Weis by my office last week, you need a bottle or two?

 

I do. Just one to ship to @campa86. It was part of our trade deal, but I hadn't accounted for the fact that I sent my last one to my target. Nobody around me has it on the shelf at the moment.

 

No problem, I'll stop over here in a bit and make sure they still have it.

 

I have them on my iPad. Friend me on Facebook and I can send them.

 

That skull poster is really the only one that has evaded me that I actually care about...

 

I'm strict on only purchasing ones to shows I've attended, but if I were to ever break that rule, MAN would that one be high on my want list. I know what it goes for (can't help but browse the secondary markets from time to time), which is probably the main reason I don't dive into collecting full on.

 

Two boxes should be out for delivery, One last box to my target, hopefully it arrives safe, and a small thank you box to my sender for the generous box he sent after his 1st boxes were stopped by the evil FedEx blockade of NJ.

 

Unboxed 2 back-breaking boxes from @Marti403 last night, with the help of @StrongRepublican

We considered keeping things boxed up and using these things as weights for squat day today...

Calling @bozodogbreath hope everything is OK, sir. Can we get some pr0nz? Pretty please?? :-)

 

Still clueless who my sender is. I'm down to 2 so when Sandman's box lands I'll know for sure.

 

BG acquired, how soon do you need it? I live right by HIA and work in York, I'm sure our paths could be made to cross at some point.

 

#Datglass (Boom!)....maybe, just maybe...we've got no prOn because you pushed @bozodogbreath "over the top" and into rehabilitation. If that's the case, it could be months and many buckets of popcorn before the show.
Note: I do hope he's alright.
