    Damn, guess that's what I get for not reading to the end before guess. I thought for sure I'd be the only one to poke the bear...

    I think my girlfriend has been hanging around with @LehighAce06 . I get home from work and she goes "my friend gave us this [Odell's IPA] from back home in Colorado. I didn't have the heart to tell him we only drink week old IPAs".

    She's a keeper! If she starts doing a topless Shake It Off rendition probably best not to post that here...

    Alright Everyone, the next Sixtercan signup is upon us. Please BM me if you would like to be included in the possiblity of receiving a glorious box from yours truly. The signup will go until Saturday to give ample time for all interested parties :slight_smile:

    NBO - SixterCAN trip #5



    If you would like to be in consideration to be the recipient of a box filled with 6 cans (and then some), please BM me your shipping address. If you would prefer to skip this trip and sign up for a future trip, don't send me your address and wait for the next person to post their NBO to sign up.



    Signup period ends at midnight Saturday, July 11th. At that time I will select the recipient and start posting hints as to who it is. Box will be shipped out no later than July 14th.



    Trip #1 - Pennsylvania (LehighAce06) --> Texas (rspauldi)

    Trip #2 - Texas (rspauldi) --> New Jersey (Jawas)

    Trip #3 - New Jersey (Jawas) --> Connecticut (Littlelotte88)

    Trip #4 - Connecticut (Littlelotte88) --> Chicago (NickyPogs)

    Trip #5 - Chicago (NickyPogs) --> Arizona(Kylo76)

    Trip #6 - Arizona(Kylo76) --> ???????



    See official rules below....





    ----------------------------------------------

    How SixterCAN works:



    1) The current holder of the SixterCAN box will make a post in the Locals BIF thread saying that the signup period for the next Trip is open and will be open for 2 or 3 days. Anyone that would like to be a potential target for the box would send their address information in a BM to the current holder of the box. To be eligible the person must have:

    a) participated in a previous or current Locals BIF round.

    b) have not already received the SixterCAN box.



    2) After the signup period is over, the current holder will randomly (or using any criteria of their choosing) pick the next lucky recipient of the SixterCAN box. They will not announce this person nor the number of people that signed up, but instead will start posting hints as to where the box is going (BIF style hints). If no one signs up to be the next recipient then, as the original founder, @@LehighAce06 will be the final recipient (hopefully without him knowing that it is coming to him).



    3) The holder of the SixterCAN box will fill the interior box with high quality (preferably local) cans, and ship it to the target. Make it a kickass box, but with this group of people I know we won't have to worry about that. Also, add the targets name to the tracking board in the box and add any 'decorations' that you wish to help commemorate the box's visit to your state.



    4) The outer boxes will also be filled with 'extras' or swag, please make sure to replace whatever you take; not necessarily exact, 'IPA for an IPA' or 'hat for a hat', but please keep in mind the quality of what was removed, as well as your target's distro.



    5) The box may also include a "challenge" beer. An envelope will be attached to the Challenge beer. Inside the envelope will be instructions on what activity needs to be completed BEFORE the recipient is allowed to unwrap/open the Challenge beer. The point is for it to be fun, for the group if not for the challengee, and for the bottle to be something extra nice that is earned as a reward for playing along for the Locals entertainment. Most importantly, the challenge is not mandatory, however the bottle cannot be opened until completion of the challenge, and not at all if the recipient passes on doing the challenge.



    6) Once the box is received by the target, they will post the pr0n for all to enjoy.



    7) Start over at #1



    You do not have to enter every signup period. You can pick and choose when you want to be in consideration to be the next recipient. This would be nice if the current holder of the box is from your own state or an adjoining state or if you are going to be out of town for a while or whatever. Jump in and out as you please.

    I'll go with 75, thanks for the chance!

    Also, need to post pr0n later this week. @LehighAce06 picked up a bunch of peanut butter beer for my girlfriend who wanted to do a tasting with her coworkers, ended up sending him extra money to fill up the box with goodies for myself. Hell of a box, easily 60+ lbs. Thanks so much!!

    #VCS while waiting for hop knife to get cold. Last of my 7/13 cans @jdhowe picked up for me. Still delicious though it has fallen off slightly. Not enough to give it a lower rating though

    Heard great things from Smog City from random peeps good to see that it seems to be as good as people are making it to be!
    I was happy with like 2 cans holy shit balls that makes me miss home! Well done @Littlelotte88

    I think I may have to join an iteration of a Locals BIF to get involved with this. Sounds like a lot of fun!

    Troegs, sadly, is known for this. While not 'old' you'd think a local brewery making its first run of a beer would be less than almost two weeks old. How is this year's batch?
